Brown chorizo.

5
Move chorizo to bowl, try to reserve the oil left from the meat.

8
Heat hash browns through, stirring frequently.

9
Add potatoes to bowl.

10
Crack eggs in large bowl, beat until light and fluffy.
-
11
Add milk and season with salt and pepper.
-
12
I recommend you go light on the salt at this point as the sausage may be very salty.
-
13
Melt butter or margarine in frying pan over medium-high heat.
-
14
Add eggs.
-
15
Let sit 3 minutes without stirring.
-
16
Push cooked eggs to outside of pan.
-
17
Repeat process pushing eggs out every 1-2 minutes until eggs are just cooked.
-
18
Leave eggs moist as they will cook further once mixed as well as when microwaved to reheat.
-
19
Add to bowl.
-
20
Add cheese and salsa to bowl.
-
21
Mix thoroughly and adjust seasoning as needed.
-
22
Allow egg mixture to cool until it can be handled without burning yourself or melting the zip top bags.
-
23
To freeze: Transfer egg mixture to pint size zip top bags in 1 cup serving sizes.
-
24
Flatten mixture and freeze.
-
25
To reheat: Microwave zip top bag 30-60 seconds at a time to reheat egg mixture.
-
26
Transfer to a flour tortilla, roll and eat.
-
27
Notes: It is important to leave the eggs very moist when cooking, if you cook them fully at this point they will be rubbery when reheated.
-
28
This recipe as written does not do well when prefilling the burritos.
-
29
There is too much moisture when reheating and the flour tortilla becomes soggy.
-
30
If you want to prefill and wrap the tortillas you will need to decrease the moisture in the recipe.
-
31
This can be done by cooking the eggs until firm and decreasing the amount of salsa used.
-
32
You can use any type of cheese you like, they are very good with cheddar, Monterey jack, pepper jack, a Mexican blend or any other type of cheese that melts well.
-
33
If you can't find chorizo, this can be made with any fresh spicy pork sausage.
-
34
Add additional peppers, vegetables and spices as your family enjoys.
