Method

Prep the vegetables

Dice the Onion and Bell Pepper, mince the Garlic, and crack the Eggs into a medium bowl. Beat the eggs with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

Cook the filling

Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the Vegetable Oil. When it shimmers, add the Breakfast Sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, for 5 minutes. Stir in the onion and bell pepper and cook for 4 minutes more, until they start to soften. Add the garlic, Hash Browns, Kosher Salt, and Pepper, then cook for 8 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are hot and browned in spots. Transfer the filling to a bowl.

Scramble the eggs

Lower the heat to medium-low, wipe out the skillet if needed, and melt the Butter. Pour in the eggs and season with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Gently push the curds from the edges toward the center with a spatula until the eggs are softly set and still a little glossy, 3 to 4 minutes.

Assemble burritos

Warm the Flour Tortillas in a dry skillet just until pliable. Divide the Cheddar Cheese among the centers, top with the sausage-potato filling and scrambled eggs, spoon over the Salsa, and add Hot Sauce if you like. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos, then serve immediately while everything is hot.
