Preparing the Filling
To achieve the perfect breakfast burrito, start by cooking the diced potatoes or hash browns in vegetable oil until they turn golden brown and crispy.
This step adds a delightful texture that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
Next, sauté the Kielbasa sausage along with diced bell pepper and diced onion until everything is tender and flavorful.
Scrambling the Eggs
Once the sausage and vegetables are cooked, it’s time to incorporate the eggs.
Whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper before pouring them into the skillet.
Gently stir until the eggs are fully cooked, creating a fluffy and savory mixture that will fill the burritos.
Assembling the Burritos
With the filling ready, lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon a generous portion of the sausage and egg mixture onto the center.
Don’t forget to sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top for that melty goodness.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to secure all the delicious ingredients inside.
