Kickstart your day with these turkey sausage and potato breakfast burritos! These breakfast wraps are packed with flavor thanks to scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, salsa, savory sausage, and tender breakfast potatoes. These burritos are inspired by me and my husband’s favorite breakfast burrito spot in Charlotte, NC! We used to grab them every Saturday morning after a workout, and they were always filling, flavorful, and easy to take on the go if we needed to.
These potato and turkey sausage breakfast burritos are actually really simple to make and you can easily customize them to your liking. This turkey sausage recipe idea is also perfect to make if you’ve got some leftover breakfast potatoes hanging around in the fridge!
I usually switch between craving a crispy bacon and egg burrito, or one with sausage like this, so it’s nice to have both recipes in my back pocket.
Simple Ingredients
This recipe has a few basic breakfast ingredients, nothing too crazy, which is how I like to make most of my breakfast recipes with eggs. I love using frozen potatoes if I’m in a rush, or homemade ones if I have more time.
- Large Flour Tortillas: make sure you’re using burrito sized tortillas. Regular sized tortillas are going to be way too small!
- Sausage: I love adding turkey sausage to my breakfast burritos but you could swap it out for 8 slices of bacon, regular or chicken sausage, chorizo, or leave out the meat completely. Add a veggie instead, like bell peppers, spinach, or onions!
Making Burritos Is Easier Than You Think
The hardest part about making burritos is folding the tortillas, but with a little practice, it’s easy to get the hang of! Making and prepping the ingredients takes a bit of time and planning, but still easy enough!
- Start by browning the sausage in a fry pan over medium heat. Once browned, remove and place on a plate with tinfoil to keep warm.
- Add potatoes to the pan, season with salt & pepper, and saute until lightly browned. Also remove to a tinfoil covered plate.
- last prep item- scrambled eggs. In the same pan over medium-low heat, scramble eggs until mostly cooked through. Transfer eggs to plate to keep warm.
- Now time to assemble the burritos! I always start by warming my tortillas (this makes them easier to fold).
- Lay a tortilla out on a flat surface, and top with all the fixings. If you’re enjoying these right away, you can add salsa or gauc right to the inside.
- Wrap that burrito up nice and tight like a baby in a swaddle. Place the burritos seam side down onto the fry pan, just to get both sides crispy and sealed.
Enjoy your burritos right away with any extra toppings you love! We love to add sour cream or plain greek yogurt to ours.
Breakfast Club Tip- if making these for a later date or meal prepping, don’t add in ingredients like salsa or gaucamole to the burrito when cooking it. They will cause your tortilla to get soggy, and the guacamole will most likely go brown. Plan to add those extras on the side when enjoying your potato burrito later.

- Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Leave any rendered fat in skillet.
- If there isn't a lot of fat, add ½-1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet and let it heat up. Add frozen potatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste if not already seasoned. Cook, tossing occasionally until they are lightly browned and cooked through. Transfer potatoes to dish and cover with foil to keep warm. **If you made my breakfast potato recipe linked above, skip this step**½-1 tbsp olive oil, 2 cups breakfast potatoes
- Spray skillet with non-stick spray or add more oil, and cook eggs over medium-low heat. Using a rubber spatula, continuously scrape the bottom of the pan and folding eggs inward until they are just set. Transfer eggs to dish and cover to keep warm.

- Wrap two sides of tortilla inward then roll bottom side over, then roll up and wrap snuggly.
- After you wrap your burritos, put them back on the skillet crease-side down to brown on both sides and seal the burrito.
Notes
- If not eating immediately, I recommend not adding the salsa or guacamole. Wrap each burrito in foil and store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Place burritos on a skillet to warm them up.
- Burritos can also be frozen for up to 3 months in a freezer safe container. To defrost frozen burritos, leave the burrito in the fridge overnight and warm up either in the microwave or in a skillet. You could also defrost from frozen- unwrap the aluminum foil and wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
- If you are meal prepping, let all the ingredients cool before wrapping the burritos and placing them in the freezer.
- If you are serving all at once, keep the ingredients warm by wrapping in foil until ready to build your burrito.
