Ingredients

TOTS

2 pounds frozen tater tots 100 to be exact

SAUSAGE & VEGGIES

1 pound italian sausage
1 onion chopped
1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped
1 green bell pepper seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons fresh italian flat-leaf parsley chopped
2 teaspoons garlic minced
2 teaspoons seasoned salt

SCRAMBLED EGGS

10 eggs
¼ teaspoon salt to taste
¼ teaspoon pepper to taste
½ cup heavy cream

TORTILLAS & CHEESE

10 flour tortillas 10-12"
6 ounces cheddar cheese
6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven as directed for tater tots. As oven heats, begin making sausage & veggies. Bake tater tots as directed once oven comes to temp.
In a 12" fry pan (non-stick preferred) over medium heat, add sausage and break up. Chop and add onion, peppers, garlic & seasoned salt. When sausage is cooked through and vegetables are tender, stir in parsley. Transfer to bowl and set aside.
Whisk eggs, salt & pepper in a large mixing bowl until yolks and whites are thoroughly combined. Then whisk in heavy cream.
Scramble eggs in same pan used for sausage & veggies. When eggs are done, remove from heat and stir in sausage & veggie mixture.
OPTIONAL STEP: Grill tortillas over open burner, medium heat/flame, about 20-30 seconds per side, rotating frequently with tongs.
Now that the sausage/veggie/egg mixture has had a chance to cool while grilling the tortillas, stir in the cheese.
Spread tortillas on counter or work table. Add fillings: 10 tater tots and 1 cup egg/sausage/veggie/cheese mixture to each tortilla. Fold in opposite sides of each tortilla (or leave one end open), and roll up burrito-style.
TO ENJOY IMMEDIATELY: Place burritos, seam sides down, onto baking sheet and cover. Place into 375-degree F oven and bake until heated through, about 12-15 minutes. Cut in half. Serve immediately.
TO FREEZE AND ENJOY LATER: Wrap each burrito in 12"x12" piece of parchment paper (not aluminum foil). Place burritos in 1- or 2-gallon freezer bag(s). Label, date, and freeze.
TO MICROWAVE FROZEN BURRITO: Place parchment wrapped burrito in microwave. Set timer for 4:00 and power level at 70%. Setting the power level lower ensures that the burrito comes out evenly hot all the way through - not scorching on the outside and cold in the middle.
All microwaves are a little different. This is what works for us.
Enjoy!
