What Ingredients are in Simply Potatoes Breakfast Burritos?
Let me break down exactly what you’ll need to create these morning masterpieces, because honestly, there’s nothing worse than getting halfway through a recipe and realizing you’re missing that one essential ingredient that makes everything come together.
- 1 (20 ounce) bag Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns
- 1 chorizo sausage (any brand)
- 4-6 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4-6 small flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 tablespoon salsa
The beauty of this ingredient list is its simplicity, though don’t let that fool you into thinking these burritos lack flavor. When it comes to the chorizo, you can grab whatever brand speaks to you at the grocery store, whether that’s the spicy Mexican variety or the milder Spanish version.
The Simply Potatoes hash browns are doing most of the heavy lifting here, giving you that perfect crispy texture without all the peeling and shredding drama. And about those tortillas? Go for the small ones unless you want to wrestle with a burrito the size of your forearm, which, let’s be honest, mightn’t be the most graceful way to start your morning.
How to Make these Simply Potatoes Breakfast Burritos
Getting these breakfast burritos from ingredients to your plate is surprisingly straightforward, though there are a few timing tricks that’ll save you from the dreaded cold burrito situation. Start by heating your oven to 350 degrees and spreading those 4-6 small flour tortillas onto a greased baking sheet, because nobody wants to deal with tortillas that stick like they’re superglued to the pan.
While the oven heats up, grab a bowl and mix together your 1 (20 ounce) bag Simply Potatoes® Shredded Hash Browns with 1 chorizo sausage, then whisk those 4-6 eggs in a separate bowl before combining everything together. Toss in that 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, because cheese makes everything better, and honestly, who are we kidding if we pretend otherwise?
Now comes the fun part where your kitchen starts smelling absolutely incredible. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and if you’ve got a trusty iron skillet, this is its moment to shine. Spread that chorizo and hash brown mixture into the heated skillet until it covers the pan, sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper, then cook until it gets crispy brown on the bottom before flipping to cook the other side. If you’re preparing multiple batches or want to streamline your morning routine, consider using a professional stand mixer to efficiently combine your wet and dry ingredients beforehand.
Here’s where multitasking becomes your best friend: while that mixture is getting all golden and crispy, pop those tortillas into the heated oven for 2 minutes on each side until they’re warm but not hard, because rock-hard tortillas are basically impossible to roll without creating a breakfast burrito explosion. Once everything’s cooked, divide that gorgeous chorizo mixture among your warm tortillas, add 1 tablespoon sour cream and 1 tablespoon salsa if you’re feeling fancy, then roll them burrito-style and prepare for breakfast greatness.
