Instructions

  1. 01

    Heat a large skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium/high heat. Add the potatoes and onion to the skillet. Coat with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning, sea salt, and chili powder. Brown the potatoes over high heat for 3-4 minutes. Turn the heat to medium/low and cover. Cook until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.

  2. 02

    Cook the sausage in a separate skillet over medium/high heat. Break the pork up and add the maple syrup. Cook until the sausage is fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. 03

    Add eggs and milk to a large bowl and whisk together. Add salt and whisk again.

  4. 04

    Heat the same skillet used for the sausage over medium/high heat. Add olive oil to the pan, and once the oil is fragrant, pour the egg mixture into the pan.

  5. 05

    Allow eggs to partially set around the edges of the pan, and then fold eggs toward the center of the pan as they cook. Keep folding eggs without fully flipping for 2-3 minutes. Add the cheese, and continue to fold the eggs until fully cooked. Remove from heat.

  6. 06

    Lay the tortillas out on a clean, flat surface and evenly distribute the potatoes, egg, sausage, and cheese to the middle of each tortilla. Tightly roll each burrito.

  7. 07

    Store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, or wrap the burritos in tin foil and freeze for up to 3 months.

Variations & swaps

Variations to Try

  • These easy make ahead breakfast burritos have all the simple fixings I love, but go nuts and make ’em your own style! Here are some family favorites I’ve tried:
  • Egg swaps: Swap the eggs with tofu to make a delicious tofu scramble, or use egg whites for a lighter option.
  • Potato swaps: Roasted sweet potatoes would also taste fantastic. It’ll give these burritos a lovely hint of sweetness. You can also use a different type of potato like red potatoes or baby Dutch yellow potatoes.
  • Protein swaps: Feel free to switch up the ground breakfast sausage with sliced Italian sausage, or whatever ground meat you have on hand! We particularly love chorizo with the eggs and potatoes!
  • Other additions: Elevate these breakfast burritos with other great add-ons like bacon, bell pepper, hot sauce, black beans, or pico de gallo.
