Instructions
- Gather Ingredients
Gather all ingredients and set out a skillet, bowl, whisk, spatula, knife, cutting board, grater, measuring spoons, and foil for wrapping. · 5 min
What to look for: Ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
- Cook Potato
Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat, add diced potato and salt, then cook until tender and lightly browned, stirring often. · 10 min
What to look for: Potato pieces are golden at the edges and soft in the center.
- Brown Sausage
Add sausage to the potatoes and cook while breaking it into small pieces until no pink remains and the edges look browned. · 6 min
When it is done: Cook sausage to 71°C / 160°F with no pink center.
- Scramble Egg
Whisk eggs with black pepper, pour into the skillet, and stir gently until soft curds form and no liquid egg pools remain. · 3 min
What to look for: Eggs look softly set and glossy rather than dry.
- Melt Cheese
Sprinkle cheese over the egg mixture, cover for 1 minute, and let it melt just enough to bind the filling. · 1 min
What to look for: Cheese is melted and clings to the eggs, sausage, and potato.
- Warm Tortilla
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable, about 30 seconds per side, then place them on a clean board. · 2 min
What to look for: Tortillas bend easily without cracking.
- Fill Burrito
Divide the hot filling between tortillas, fold in the sides, and roll each tortilla tightly around the center. · 2 min
What to look for: Each burrito is compact and the seam stays tucked underneath.
- Serve Burrito
Serve immediately while the cheese is melted, or cool fully before wrapping for the refrigerator or freezer. · 1 min
What to look for: Burritos are warm, neatly rolled, and ready to eat or store.
