Ingredients

2 & 1/2 cups Tater Tot Crowns
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage (or breakfast sausage)
8 scrambled eggs (with salt and butter)
1 & 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 whole scallions , diced
8 large (10-inch) flour tortillas

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook tater tots according to package directions.
In the meantime, warm olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until cooked through and no pink remains. Drain off fat; transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the skillet.
Make the best scrambled eggs ever!
Evenly divide and distribute the ingredients into 8 portions down the center of each tortilla: approximately a scant 1/3 cup of the cooked sausage. Top with 5-6 tater tot crowns, 1/3 cup of the scrambled eggs, 2-3 tablespoons of cheese, and a little sprinkle of scallions. Fold in opposite sides of each tortilla, then roll snugly from the bottom up. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until heated through, about 12-15 minutes. Let stand 2-3 minutes, then eat and enjoy!
If you ARE freezing these, see the recipe notes (below) for directions.

Notes

If you are freezing these for later, follow directions through step 5, BUT wait for all of your ingredients to be room temperature before assembling your burritos. DO NOT BAKE. Instead, wrap each burrito in tinfoil or plastic wrap, then place onto the baking sheet seam side down, in a single layer. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer to flash freeze (about an hour), then transfer them to a resealable freezer-safe plastic bag for long-term storage, labeling the bag with the recipe name and date to keep track.

To reheat: (1) For best results, I recommend thawing in the refrigerator overnight, then bake in a 400 degree F oven for about 25 minutes, flipping over halfway. (2) To reheat directly from the freezer, you can bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for about 35-40 minutes, or (3) place frozen burritos in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate; cover with a paper towel and cook 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through.

If using aluminum foil to wrap your burritos, keep the foil on while baking in the oven and then remove it about 5 minutes toward the end. Remove the foil if reheating in the microwave.

If using plastic wrap to wrap your burritos, remove it before placing in the oven or microwave.

Let stand. After reheating, let your burritos stand for 2-3 minutes before eating.

Freezer Storage. These burritos can be stored in the freezer for 1 month. They will actually keep longer, but the quality will noticeably decrease.
