- ½ green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
- 4 large eggs, beaten
Seasonings & Fats
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ tsp seasoned salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cowboy ranch seasoning (optional)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
Assembly
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
To Serve
- Sour cream
- Salsa
Instructions
- Cook the Meats: 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. Remove the meat from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Cook Hash Browns: In the same skillet, add the frozen diced hash browns and toss them to coat in the rendered fat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they become crispy and nearly cooked through.
- Sauté Vegetables: Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño along with seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and flavorful.
- Make Scrambled Eggs: Beat the eggs and stir in cowboy ranch seasoning if using. Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat, then pour in the eggs. Cook gently, stirring, until the eggs are just set and still creamy.
- Warm Tortillas: Soften the tortillas by heating them briefly in the microwave or in a dry skillet until pliable.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay out each tortilla and evenly distribute the fillings: ¼ cup shredded cheddar, ¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack, ½ cup meat mixture, ¼ cup scrambled eggs, and ¾ cup potato-vegetable mixture.
- Roll Burritos: Fold the sides of each tortilla toward the center, then fold up the bottom edge and roll tightly from bottom to top to enclose the filling securely.
- Fry Burritos: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat. Place each burrito seam-side down and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the burritos hot with sour cream and salsa on the side for added flavor and creaminess.
