Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb. breakfast sausage bacon, or both
  • 1 cup diced red and green peppers
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 18 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 16 oz cheese*
  • 1 (16 oz) bag frozen hash browns* cooked according to the package
  • 24 small or 12 large flour tortillas
  • salsa

Instructions

  • Cook the breakfast sausage in a heated pan over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the cooked sausage from the pan and set aside. Drain the grease.
  • In the same pan, add a small tab of butter, or oil, along with the peppers and onion.
  • Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • In a large measuring cup, or medium sized mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour over the vegetables in the pan and gently scramble until fluffy.
  • Stir the sausage, cooked hash browns, and cheese into the eggs.
  • Pour a heaping half cup of the mixture into each burrito sized tortilla.
  • Fold tightly and enjoy.

Notes

  • We like sharp cheddar or pepper jack but you can use any type of cheese you prefer.
  • We've used every type of frozen potato and love them all. Just choose your favorite and make sure it's cooked fully before you add them to the burrito
  • Freeze the burritos before taking camping. It keeps them cool until you are ready to use.
TO FREEZE:
  • Place foil or parchment on a large baking sheet.
  • Build all of your burritos and fold tightly aligning as close as possible without having them touch on your prepared pan.
  • Place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  • Remove and wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap.
  • Store in a large Ziploc.
  • When ready to eat remove from the plastic, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave 2 minutes.
FOR CAMPING:
  • Follow the freezer instructions substituting foil for plastic wrap.
  • When ready to eat place the foil wrapped burritos on hot coals until heated through.
