Burritos are always a good idea!
It’s no secret that breakfast is one of my favorites. We don’t play about our breakfast/brunch in this house. Growing up my dad would make the most incredible breakfast burritos. Seriously, I had friends requesting me to bring them to school. They were THAT good! The other day I was craving a breakfast burrito and decided to make them for my family.
This recipe is honestly not even a recipe, but a guide. I only say that because you can literally stuff this burrito with whatever you want, wrap it up in a warm tortilla and enjoy. So please feel free to use this as breakfast inspo.
What I used
Your choice of protein- I used turkey sausage. Feel free to use whatever breakfast meat you’d like.
Shredded cheese– Colby jack.
Large tortilla– because I filled this with a lot of toppings. I suggest using extra large tortillas.
Hashbrowns- I popped some tater tots in the air fryer.
Pico de Gallo– prepared an easy and delicious pico before starting on the sausage and eggs.
Sour cream
Salsa verde
All these delicious ingredients wrapped in a warm tortilla. Served with my homemade salsa verde sour cream. Hate to toot my own horn, but TOOT TOOT! This is it! Something the whole family will love! And the great thing about breakfast burritos is that they are totally customizable.
Eating the same thing can get old, especially with little ones. Sometimes you need a little inspo to switch things up. And what better way than stuffing all your favorite breakfast AND burrito ingredients into a warm tortilla. It’s quick and easy and something the whole family will love.
