    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Add frozen hash brown potatoes in even layer; press down lightly. Cook potatoes 7 minutes without moving. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; turn. Cook 6 to 8 minutes longer or until browned on both sides and hot throughout. Transfer to medium bowl; cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out skillet.

    In large bowl, beat eggs, green chiles, salt and pepper until well blended. In same skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Stir in egg mixture; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until scrambled.

    Roll up each tortilla tightly to secure filling. Serve immediately, or freeze as directed below.
  • 5
    To freeze, wrap each burrito in foil. Label 1-gallon resealable freezer plastic bag. Transfer burritos in single layer to bag; remove as much air as possible, and freeze up to 1 month. To heat: Remove 1 burrito from foil, and wrap in lightly dampened paper towel. Place on microwavable plate; microwave on High 2 minutes 30 seconds to 4 minutes 30 seconds, turning once, until heated through (at least 165°F).

  • Change breakfast sausage out for cooked chorizo pork sausage to give your easy freezer breakfast burritos more of a Southwest kick!
  • This sausage breakfast burrito recipe calls for shredded Mexican cheese, but you can easily substitute other types of shredded cheese—like cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese.
  • To add more flavor, drizzle some hot sauce, to taste, over scrambled eggs when assembling burritos.
  • These Easy Breakfast Burritos already have some Tex-Mex flair—to add even more of this flavor, dip your easy homemade breakfast burrito in your favorite salsa.
