High-Protein Breakfast Burritos

Print Recipe

A delightful and hearty breakfast option packed with protein that will brighten your mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups crispy potatoes (diced or shredded)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for cooking (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the lean sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. If you’re using fresh potatoes, peel and dice them into small cubes. Add them to the pan with the sausage. Cook until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Once the potatoes are cooked, push them to the side of the pan and add the eggs. Scramble them until they’re just set.
  4. Mix the shredded cheese into the eggs just before they’re fully cooked. The residual heat will melt the cheese.
  5. Lay out your tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage-potato-egg mixture in the center of each tortilla, then fold and roll them up tightly.
  6. If you love that extra flavor and a crispy texture, you can toast the burritos on a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Notes

These burritos can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
