Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 pounds roasted Idaho Potatoes see notes
  • 1 pound Breakfast Sausage
  • 1 pound Bacon cooked and chopped into small pieces
  • 1 Green Pepper diced
  • 1 Red Pepper diced
  • 1 large Onion diced
  • 12 Eggs
  • 1 cup Half and Half
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 3 cups shredded Cheese cheddar, Colby, Monterey jack, Colby jack, mozzeralla….pick your favorite
  • 16 Burrito sized Flour Tortillas

Instructions
 

  • In a 5 quart non stick skillet brown sausage. Remove excess grease with a spoon. Add in peppers and onion and saute for 5 minutes until vegetables are soft and starting to brown, add in potatoes and break up with spoon or spatula.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, half and half (you can use milk instead) and salt and pepper to taste. Use more pepper than salt, because the meats have salt in them.
  • Slowly pour egg mixture over sautéed vegetables, move the eggs in from the sides to the middle continuing to do this until most of the eggs look like they have been cooked. Flatten burrito filling out in the pan, place a cover over the pan, turn temperature down low, and let cook for 5 minutes, without peeking!
  • Remove lid and in additional chopped meats like ham or bacon, or if you are going for meatless add in a can of drained and rinsed black beans or add them in addition to the meats.

Assembly

  • Place wrap on counter top , place 3/4 cup or a large spoonful of filling in the middle of the burrito shell, sprinkle with cheese (about 2 tablespoons more or less whatever your preference). Fold burrito shell over filling, tuck in both sides and continue to roll away from you. Wrap tightly. Set aside and move on to the next one.
  • Or wrap in foil and keep warm in oven on a baking sheet for put to 1 hour.
  • If cooking from frozen, reheat in microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, on high. You can place in a burrito in a skillet to brown the tortilla. You only need to to heat for 1 minute on each side.
