Serves: 4-6 burritos
Grocery List
  • 1 lb. breakfast sausage
  • 2-3 cups fried potatoes
  • ¾ c. onion
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • Cheese slices
  • 4-6 flour tortillas
  • 4-6 eggs
  • salt and pepper
  • oil or butter
  • sour cream and salsa if desired
Here's how...
  1. Brown 1 lb. of breakfast sausage.  Season it as desired with crushed red pepper or black pepper. Drain.
  2. Remove the sausage and the grease from the skillet and start the potatoes and onions.
  3. Dice one onion to equal about ¾ cup.  Cube red or russet potatoes to bite-sized cubes and fry them with the onions in butter or oil until the edges are crispy and the insides soft.  Season with salt and pepper.
  4. To the hot potatoes, add 1 can of rinsed and drained black beans and heat through.
  5. Add the sausage back in and heat everything through.  Set the filling somewhere to keep warm while you fry up some eggs.
  6. Fry an egg per person to their liking and set them on a plate and keep them warm as well.
  7. Lastly, warm a skillet with a bit of butter and heat to medium.  Set a flour tortilla into the hot butter and lay a slice of cheese on top (I love American for this) and then set about ½ cup of the warm sausage/potato filling down the center of the tortilla.  Peek under the tortilla and when the bottom is nice and golden brown, fold it into a taco shape, leaving it open so I can lay the egg across the top and let it drizzle its golden, buttery yolk down over the filling. I set all the burritos in a baking dish or on a plate and then lay the eggs over the top to serve.
  8. Serve with sour cream and salsa if desired.
