Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Potatoes
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
In another skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Whisk eggs with milk. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over low-medium heat and cook the eggs gently until soft and fluffy.
Step 4: Assemble the Burritos
Warm the tortillas slightly so they’re flexible. Add potatoes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese to the center of each tortilla.
Step 5: Wrap and Toast
Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito. Toast seam-side down in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
