Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 pound kielbasa diced
  • 2 cups hash brown potatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 jalapeño diced (optional)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream salsa, guacamole, hot sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, brown the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink. Add the diced kielbasa to the skillet and cook until browned, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer the cooked meats to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the hash brown potatoes to the drippings and sauté until they are tender and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Then, mix in the diced bell peppers, onion, jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat and pour in the beaten eggs.
  • Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until soft curds form, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Assemble the burritos by laying out the tortillas on a flat surface. On each tortilla, layer cheese, a portion of the cooked meat, scrambled eggs, and the potato-vegetable mixture.
  • Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a burrito.
  • Heat vegetable oil in the skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled burritos seam-side down in the hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Notes

To enhance the flavor of your Cowboy Breakfast Burrito, consider adding spices such as paprika or cumin to the potato-vegetable mixture.
If you prefer a spicier kick, feel free to increase the amount of jalapeño or serve with your favorite hot sauce on the side.
For a make-ahead option, you can prepare the filling in advance and assemble the burritos when you're ready to cook.
