Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Aluminum foil
  • Freezer bags

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups frozen tater tots
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 8 large eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 can refried beans 16 ounces
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes drained
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 8 large flour tortillas 10-inch size
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange frozen tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool to room temperature.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together beaten eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until eggs are just set but still slightly glossy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • Warm refried beans in the microwave for 1 minute, stir, then let cool to room temperature.
  • To assemble, lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 3 tablespoons of refried beans in a horizontal line across the center, leaving 2 inches on each side.
  • Top the beans with a portion of scrambled eggs, about 1/4 cup of cooked sausage, 5 to 6 tater tots, 2 tablespoons of diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up, keeping the filling compact. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
  • Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil, label with the date, and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
  • To reheat, remove foil and wrap burrito in a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, flip, then continue for 2 more minutes. Let stand 1 minute before serving. Alternatively, keep in foil and bake at 400 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes.

Notes

  • All ingredients must be at room temperature before assembly to prevent sogginess.
  • Don't overfill tortillas or they will be difficult to wrap.
  • Burritos can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days instead of freezing.
  • For a healthier version, use turkey sausage and whole wheat tortillas.
  • Add hot sauce or salsa before reheating for extra moisture and flavor.
