Directions

Cook the Sausage:

1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the turkey breakfast sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks, until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set it aside. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Scramble the Eggs:

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Scramble the eggs in the same skillet you used for the sausage until fully cooked and fluffy. Remove from heat.

Preheat the Oven:

3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Assemble the Burritos:

4. Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla.

5. Then, layer the cooked tater tots, sausage, scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro on top of the beans.

Roll the Burritos:

6. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to secure everything inside.

Freeze (Optional):

7. If you want to freeze the burritos, place them in a single layer in a freezer bag with the seam facing downward to keep them closed. Seal the bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, thaw them in the fridge overnight.

Bake the Burritos:

8. Place the assembled burritos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the burritos are golden brown.

Serve:

9. Garnish with extra cilantro and serve hot. Enjoy your hearty and delicious breakfast burritos!
