  • 180 gPotato, diced
  • 2Tortilla
  • 2 tspOlive oil
  • ½ tspSalt
  • ¼ tspBlack pepper, ground

Equipment

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
