Home Kitchen Unfussy Hash Browns Breakfast Burritos

Unfussy Hash Browns Breakfast Burritos make for a savory and filling breakfast. Fluffy scrambled eggs, sautéed onions and jalapeños, sausage, crispy hash browns and cheese rolled into soft flour tortillas. We like to pop ours into the air fryer (or under the broiler) to allow the cheese to melt and to get a crispy exterior. Serve with sour cream and salsa or any of your go-to toppings! Yields 4 burritos.

This method happened by accident.

Some of the go-to ones do! Especially when you aren’t worried following specific directions. This is one of those unfussy and versatile recipes you can play with the ingredients. For example, swap sausage for bacon, use potatoes instead of tater tots. Use different cheeses, salsas or only use egg whites. It’s a somewhat of a blank canvas with lots of satisfying opportunity.

So go on, get creative and enjoy!

Here’s our regular way to make good breakfast burritos!

To Make These Unfussy Hash Brown Breakfast Burritos Gather:

• eggs – Adds protein and is the base filling ingredient for these burritos.
• olive oil – Adds richness and flavor. Sub with unsalted butter or avocado oil.
• yellow onion – Lends flavor-packed onion flavor.
• jalapeño (ribs and seeds removed) – Adds flavor without a lot of spice.
• cooked sausage – I’m using pre-cooked turkey sausage (because UNFUSSY) but use any sausage you like – simply cook (and drain the fat) it first.
• green onion – Adds fresh onion flavor.
• cheese – I like to use pepper jack or spicy colby jack cheese. Use your go-to!
• mini tater tots – Baked or air-fried until crispy. Or substitue with leftover cooked potatoes.
• tortillas – You will want to use the larger burrito size tortillas.

Crack and add 6 large eggs into a bowl or large liquid measuring cup.

Whisk well until combined and set off to the side.

In a 10-inch skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 to 1-1/2 cups sausage crumbles (I’m using turkey sausage) and 1 diced jalapeño pepper.

If you cooked the sausage yourself, you can omit adding it here.

Over medium to medium-low heat, cook for a few minutes until the onion is tender and the sausage is golden brown in spots. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and set off to the side.

Reduce the heat under the pan to low and lightly spray with nonstick oil before pouring in the whisked eggs. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula as the eggs cook.

Once the eggs are fluffy and cooked through, add in the sausage and onion mixture.

Remove off the heat, add in 1/3 cup sliced green onion and stir to combine.

Build The Burritos:

To a warmed tortillas add 1/4 cup pepper jack or cheese of choice, only right of center on each one.

Add 1/4 of the egg and sausage mixture on top of the cheese.

Add a handful or so of crispy mini tater tots.

Fold in the top and bottom of the tortilla and roll to seal the burrito.

Place the burritos (seam-side down) on a small rimmed baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with nonstick spray.

Chose Your Method For Toasting:

Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°. Depending on the size of your air fryer, work in batches, placing the burritos seam-side down in and even layer and air frying for 6 to 10 minutes or until the tortilla is a golden brown.

Broil: Move the oven rack to the highest position and preheat your ovens broiler to low. Broil until lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning. You may want to (carefully) flip the burritos in order to crisp both sides.

Press: Preheat your panini press and work in batches “grilling” until golden brown.

What To Serve With Breakfast Burritos:

• sour cream or plain nonfat greek yogurt
• salsa or pico de gallo
• guacamole
• hot sauce
