Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through
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 tablespoon 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.

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.
Heat tortillas either in a skillet or in the microwave until warm.
To assemble: Layer ¼ cup of cheese on the tortilla, followed by about a ¼ cup of eggs, ¼ cup of potatoes. Crumble sausage on top and if you are eating right away, top with salsa and/or guac.
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 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.
Place burritos on a skillet to warm them up.
If you don’t want to add meat to these potato breakfast burritos, swap it out for mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, or any other veggies. Feel free to saute them before adding to your burrito.
