INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups frozen tater tots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 links breakfast sausage, casing removed (Another option: buy precooked sausage and dice. Use as little or as much as you desire. 2-3 was plenty for me.)
- 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup half and half
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 (16-ounce) can refried beans (Another option: a 15-0z. can of black beans, drained and rinsed)
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas (10-inch will give you more room.)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Cook tater tots according to package instructions; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon in the skillet. (I suggest "cooking" the precooked sausage as well, just to get a nice browning on them. There won't be any fat to drain or reserve.)
- With the sausage still in pan, add eggs to the skillet and cook, whisking, until they just begin to set. Gently whisk in half and half; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes; set aside. (I also add the cheeses and black beans into the eggs while they cook. It makes it easier for assembly. If you prefer, wait until step 5 to add the cheese. If you are using refried beans, wait until step 5.)
- Spread refried beans down centers of tortillas; top with tater tots, sausage, eggs, cheeses, tomatoes and cilantro. (If not using refried beans, place tater tots in center of tortilla, add egg mixture (with whatever you mixed inside of them) on top, then top with tomatoes and cilantro.) Fold in opposite sides of each tortilla, then roll up, burrito-style. Place, seam-sides down onto preparing baking sheet; cover.
- Place into oven and bake until heated through, about 12-15 minutes.
- Serve immediately. *TO FREEZE: Cover each burrito tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Freeze up to 1 month. To reheat, (1) microwave on half power for 4-6 minutes, turning halfway, or (2) bake at 400 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, or until completely cooked through.
