Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Dried Minced Onion
  • 2 oz Diced Green Chiles
  • 4 oz Canned Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 dozen Eggs
  • 1/2 cup of Whole Milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 lb Breakfast Sausage
  • 6 - 10 inch Flour Tortillas
  • 12 slices American Cheese

Instructions

  1. Rehydrate the dried minced onions by placing them in a bowl with hot water. Let them sit for a few minutes, while you continue to the next step.
  2. Drain the tomatoes in with a fine mesh strainer.
  3. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add milk and salt, and wisk them together until mostly smooth.
  4. Drain the onions with a fine mesh strainer. Use a spatula to press them against the mesh to get rid of all the water.
  5. Cook the sausage and set aside to cool.
  6. In a hot skillet add a little butter, then add the onions and allow them to cook for a couple of minues.
  7. Add the green chiles and tomatoes, then continue cooking for a couple more minutes.
  8. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside to cool.
  9. Cook the eggs in the skillet with a litte more butter over medium heat, stirring constantly until almost fully set but not completely cooked through. Set aside to cool.
  10. Once the vegetable mixture, sausage, and eggs are no longer releasing steam, place them all in a mixing bowl and mix gently until combined
  11. Warm the tortillas in the microwave until warm and pliable.
  12. To assemble, place two slices of cheese in the center of the tortilla. Place 3 #20 scoops of burrito filling on top of the cheese.
  13. Roll up the burrito and place seam side down into a dry skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Continue rolling burritos and placing them into the skillet as room allows.
  14. After 30-45 seconds or when the seam side of the burrito has taken on golden brown color and hardened enough to hold its shape, flip the burrito over. Cook another 30-45 seconds on the other side to get that nice golden brown color for presentation.
  15. Continue until all the burritos have been rolled and sealed.
  16. The burritos are now ready to enjoy or freeze for later
  17. To reheat, thaw overnight then microwave for one minute on each side and allow to rest for two minutes.

Notes

  • Assembling the burritos with cool ingredients prevents steam from making the burritos soggy. It is even better to cool the ingredients completely in the fridge before assembling.
  • Microwaving the burritos gives the tortilla the same texture as McDonald's sausage burritos because they prep the burritos the day before and microwave them to order.
  • Aside from the sausage being different, these are probably just a touch of MSG away from being the exact flavor profile of McDonal's sausage burritos.
