Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Transfer the cooked meats to a plate and set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. Then, mix in the diced bell peppers, onion, jalapeño, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  5. 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.
  6. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until soft curds form, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  7. 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.
  8. Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to form a burrito.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
