A close-up view of a burrito cut in half, showing four layers inside. The outer layer is a lightly toasted, soft tortilla colored golden brown with some darker grill spots. Inside, the first inner layer is bright yellow scrambled eggs with a fluffy texture. Next, there is a layer of cooked ground beef, crumbly and dark brown with a slightly juicy look. Mixed in with the beef are diced vegetables: white onions, red and green bell peppers, all small and slightly shiny from cooking. The halves are stacked on top of each other, resting on a wooden cutting board with some filling spilling out. The background is a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

8 oz ground pork sausage

½ ring Kielbasa sausage (7 oz), diced

2 cups frozen diced hash brown potatoes

½ red bell pepper, diced

½ green bell pepper, diced

1 small yellow onion, diced

1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced

4 large eggs, beaten

1 tbsp unsalted butter

½ tsp seasoned salt

⅛ tsp black pepper

⅛ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp cowboy ranch seasoning (optional)

4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

1 tbsp vegetable oil for frying

Sour cream for serving

Salsa for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the ground pork sausage. Cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it up until no longer pink. Add the diced kielbasa and cook for another 2-4 minutes until browned. Transfer meat to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Step 2: In the same skillet, add the frozen hash browns and toss to coat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until crispy and almost cooked through.

Step 3: Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño along with the seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Step 4: Beat the eggs and mix in the cowboy ranch seasoning if using. Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat, then pour in the eggs. Cook until just set and creamy.

Step 5: Heat tortillas in the microwave or by dry skillet to soften.

Step 6: Lay out the tortillas and divide fillings: ¼ cup each of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup of meat mixture, ¼ cup scrambled eggs, and ¾ cup potato-vegetable mixture on each tortilla.

Step 7: Fold sides of the tortilla toward the center, then fold up the bottom edge and roll tightly from bottom to top.

Step 8: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over low heat. Place burritos seam-side down and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Serve hot with sour cream and salsa!
