Easy Sheet Pan Breakfast Burritos (Print version)

Freezer-friendly breakfast burritos made with a sliceable sheet pan egg, sausage, potato, pepper, and cheese filling.

# Ingredients:

For the sheet pan filling

01 - 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage, casing removed if needed
02 - 2 cups (280 g) frozen diced potatoes or hash brown potatoes, thawed
03 - 1 medium bell pepper, finely diced
04 - 1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced
05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
07 - 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 12 large eggs
11 - 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk
12 - 1 1/2 cups (170 g) shredded cheddar cheese

For assembly

13 - 8 large burrito-size flour tortillas
14 - 1/2 cup (120 g) salsa, plus more for serving
15 - Hot sauce, sour cream, or avocado for serving, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed 13x18-inch sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the parchment.
02 - Spread the sausage on the pan in small pieces. Bake for 10-12 minutes, breaking it up once, until browned and mostly cooked through.
03 - Stir in the thawed potatoes, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables soften and the potatoes are hot.
04 - Reduce the oven to 350°F. Whisk the eggs and milk in a bowl, then pour evenly over the sheet pan filling. Sprinkle with cheddar and bake for 14-18 minutes, until the center is set.
05 - Let the egg slab cool for 10 minutes. Cut into 8 even rectangles so each burrito gets one sturdy piece of filling.
06 - Warm the tortillas until flexible. Place one egg rectangle in each tortilla, add a spoonful of salsa if serving right away, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
07 - Serve warm, seam side down, with extra salsa. For freezer burritos, let them cool completely, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 2 months.

# Good to know:

01 - Use a rimmed half sheet pan so the egg mixture does not spill.
02 - Cool the filling before wrapping if you plan to freeze the burritos.
03 - Reheat thawed burritos in the microwave, then crisp in a dry skillet if desired.
