Instructions
TOTS
Preheat oven as directed for tater tots. Bake tater tots as directed once oven comes to temp.
VEGGIES
As oven preheats, begin sautéing veggies. In a 12" fry pan (non-stick preferred) over medium heat, melt butter and add chopped onion & peppers. Stir in garlic & seasoned salt. Transfer to bowl and set aside. Stir in parsley
SCRAMBLED EGGS & TORTILLAS
Whisk or beat eggs, salt & pepper in a large mixing bowl until yolks and whites are thoroughly combined. Then whisk or beat in heavy cream.
Scramble eggs in same pan used for sausage & veggies. When eggs are done, remove from heat and stir in 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 egg/veggie mixture has had a little time to cool while grilling the tortillas, stir in the cheese.
ASSEMBLE and FREEZE / EAT
Spread tortillas on counter or work table. Add fillings: 5 tater tots and ½ cup egg/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 3:00 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.
