Meats
- 1 & 1/2 pounds thin-sliced bacon
- 1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
Cheese
- 1 & 1/4 pounds cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces cream cheese, chopped into chunks
Potatoes
- 30 ounces frozen shredded hash browns
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter for hash browns
- 1/3 cup (or more) bacon grease
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
Eggs & Seasonings
- 15 large eggs
- 1 & 1/4 teaspoons Lawry’s Seasoning salt (or kosher salt)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 cup butter for eggs
Other
- 15 (10-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
- Cook Meats: In a large skillet, cook the thin-sliced bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and save the bacon grease. In the same skillet, cook the bulk breakfast sausage until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Prepare Hash Browns: In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup butter and 1/3 cup (or more) bacon grease over medium heat. Add frozen shredded hash browns and cook until browned and crispy, stirring occasionally. Add chopped green onions and cream cheese chunks, stirring until cream cheese melts and is well incorporated.
- Make Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together 15 large eggs, Lawry’s seasoning salt, black pepper, and onion powder. In another large skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly to make fluffy scrambled eggs. Remove from heat once cooked through but still moist.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay out each warmed 10-inch flour tortilla. Evenly distribute cooked bacon, sausage, hash brown mixture, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese among the tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheddar generously to ensure melty cheesy goodness in each bite.
- Wrap Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll tightly from one end to the other to form burritos.
- Optional – Warm Burritos: For a crispy exterior, place assembled burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet or griddle and cook until the tortilla is golden and slightly crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a spicier kick.
- Use store-bought hash browns if short on time but homemade shredded potatoes work great too.
- Adjust seasoning salt and pepper to your taste preference.
- For gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
- These burritos freeze well; wrap individually and freeze for quick breakfasts.
