Make-Ahead Freezer Breakfast Burritos

Instructions

1. 01

   In medium bowl, crack eggs and scramble. Add milk (if desired), salt, pepper, and basil. Mix to combine.

   Scramble eggs in skillet over medium heat until just fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

3. 03

   In separate pan or skillet, brown breakfast sausage over medium-high heat until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from heat and drain off any fat. Set aside to cool.

   Once eggs and sausage have cooled, layer 1/4 cup of each filling ingredient - hash browns, sausage, eggs, and shredded cheese - in the center on the lower third of a flour tortilla.

   Bring the bottom of the tortilla up and wrap snugly over the filling.

6. 06

   Fold sides of the tortilla inward toward the center.
