Instructions
Burrito Filling:
In a large skillet over medium heat, fry the breakfast sausage. Crumble into small pieces and cook until no pink remains.
Grease a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the tater tots to the pan and arrange in a single layer.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the tater tots evenly.
Next, add the diced bell pepper over the tater tots.
Cut small pieces of green onion tops with kitchen shears or a sharp knife.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk. Add the milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the sour cream is blended into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the tater tots.
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar chees and 1 cup of the pepper jack cheese evenly over the pan.
Cover and store in the refrigerator overnight or up to 12 hours.
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Once oven reaches the temp, cook the egg casserole for 45-60 minutes or until no longer jiggly.
Remove from the oven, allow to rest for fifteen minutes, and stir with a wooden spoon. This step will break up the burrito filling and make it more scoopable.
Place the cover on the filling, and chill in the refrigerator. Warm burrito filling will cause excess moisture and soggy burritos.
Rolling Burritos:
Once the filling is completely cool, place precut tin foil squares on the countertop. Doing this in batches makes it more efficient. Next, place a tortilla in the middle of each square.
Place a handful of cheese, about two tablespoons, in the tortilla's center.
Next, add a scoop of burrito filling to the center, about ¼ cups. Do not overfill the burrito, or rolling will be a challenge.
Next, roll the burritos. Using two hands, take the sides and fold in, then roll up the bottom of the tortilla, tucking under the filling and rolling up to cover the top. Roll the tin foil square using the same method. The tin foil will help hold the burrito together until it is frozen.
Place the rolled burritos into gallon-sized ziplock bags and freezer.
Remove one burrito at a time. Unwrap from the tin foil, roll the burrito into a paper towel, and heat in the microwave on high heat for 1-2 minutes. Microwave heat levels vary, so start with a minute and check to see if the burrito is heated all the way through.
If not enjoying the burrito right away, rewrap it in the tin foil and store it in an insulated tumbler to keep warm. Don’t wait too long to enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: This recipe is very adaptable if you want to swap out the turkey sausage for different breakfast meat like diced ham or chopped bacon! Or try making a vegetarian version with your favorite veggies!Reheat for a Crowd: Unwrap the rolled, frozen burritos in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes, uncover, and continue to bake until heated through, another 20 minutes or so.
