- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Prepare
- Dice 1 lb andouille sausage
- Thaw 1 cup frozen hash browns
- Dice 1 large red bell pepper
- Dice 0.5 medium red onion
- Beat 7 eggs
- 6 large flour tortillas, warmed
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Set a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the diced andouille sausage and cook until it slightly browns, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Step 2.
Add the thawed hash browns, diced red bell pepper, and diced red onion to the pan with the sausage. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Remove the entire mixture from the pan and set aside.
-
Step 3.
Pour the beaten eggs into the same pan and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until they reach your desired doneness (scrambled or soft-set). Remove the eggs from the pan and turn off the heat.
-
Step 4.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage-vegetable mixture with the eggs. Sprinkle in the shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, and stir until evenly mixed.
-
Step 5.
Lay the warmed flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon about ½ cup of the filling onto the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Serve immediately, or wrap for freezing.
