Instructions
- 01
To a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the ground pork sausage. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the sausage is no longer pink. Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pan and place onto a paper towel-lined plate.
- 02
To the drippings in the pan, add oil. Add the potatoes, seasoned salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are completely cooked through. Remove from the pan and place the potatoes in a bowl or on a plate while you prepare the eggs.
- 03
To the beaten eggs, add chives and dry ranch seasoning mix.
- 04
In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. When the skillet is hot, pour in the seasoned eggs. Gently push them across the pan with a spatula, forming large soft curds. Continue cooking the eggs until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Avoid constant stirring. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
- 05
On a clean work surface, lay out tortillas. Top each tortilla with the following: 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons Monterey Jack cheese, ¼ cup scrambled eggs, ¼ cup sausage, and ½ cup potatoes.
- 06
Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla toward the center, covering part of the filling. Starting from the bottom, fold the edge of the tortilla up and over the fillings. With the bottom edge folded up, use your fingers to gently press and secure the fillings. Continue rolling the tortilla upwards, keeping it tight and compact. Roll until you reach the top edge of the tortilla.
- 07
Can be served immediately. If preferred, heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat and place the burrito in the pan, seam-side down. Heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned.
- 08
Fill and roll the burritos as directed. Then, wrap each tightly in aluminum foil.
- 09
Place the burritos into freezer-safe resealable bags or airtight containers. Label and date the packaging; they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- 10
Remove the burrito from its packaging.
- 11
Wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel and place onto a microwave-safe plate.

Microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from the microwave and let it rest for about 30 seconds before eating.

Serve with sour cream and salsa.
- 14
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 15
Remove the burrito(s) from its packaging and place onto the lined baking sheet.
- 16
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.

Variations & swaps
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Tortillas: I used 10-inch flour tortillas to fill, which gave me 8 burritos. Depending on the size of the tortilla you use, it could change the number of servings.
- Ground Pork Sausage: This recipe uses ground pork sausage, which is different than ground pork because it is already seasoned. You can buy the pork sausage from the grocery store, but for the most flavor, use the recipe I have for my breakfast sausage patties or maple breakfast sausage.
- Potatoes: Look for frozen cubed potatoes which are called “Diced Hash Potatoes” or “Southern Style Hash Brown Potatoes” in your frozen food section of the grocery store. (I’ve always known them as American Fries or Home Fries.) And yes, you can certainly opt for traditional hash browns.
- Scrambled Eggs: I seasoned the eggs with chives and dry ranch seasoning mix for the most flavor. You can use your favorite way to prepare scrambled eggs as well.
- Cheese: I added both sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese to the burritos. You could mix and match your favorite kinds of cheese, or use all of one kind that you prefer.
