How to make it
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage, breaking it apart, until it reaches 160°F. Transfer it to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil, potatoes, onion, bell pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook for 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender. Uncover and brown for 3 minutes.
- Beat the eggs with the remaining salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a clean skillet and scramble the eggs until just set.
- Warm the tortillas. Divide the eggs, potato mixture, sausage, cheese, and salsa among them. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
Who this list is for
This list is for anyone making sausage breakfast burritos for six people at home. It’s especially useful if you want to prep hearty, make-ahead breakfasts for a group or to have leftovers for busy mornings. If you’re new to batch cooking burritos, this keeps you on track with the right ingredients.
How to use this list
Begin by checking your fridge and pantry for basics like kosher salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil. Shop for 12 ounces each of pork breakfast sausage and Yukon Gold potatoes. Get half a medium yellow onion and a medium red bell pepper. Pick up a dozen large eggs and a package of shredded cheddar cheese (8 ounces). You’ll need six 12-inch flour tortillas and three-quarters cup of salsa. Don’t forget unsalted butter for scrambling the eggs. Work through the list, crossing off items you already have.
What to skip
Don’t swap in corn tortillas—they crack and don’t roll well for burritos. Avoid pre-cooked sausage links; use bulk pork breakfast sausage for the right texture. Some skip potatoes or use frozen hash browns, but fresh Yukon Golds taste better. Don’t overload with extra fillings; it makes rolling difficult and the burritos messy. Skipping salsa or cheese leaves the burritos bland.
