Cook the hash brown patties. I do this by placing the frozen hash brown patties in the air fryer and air frying (at 390°F) for 10-11 minutes. You could also pan fry or bake if you don’t own an air fryer.
Whisk together the eggs and soft scramble in a nonstick pan, seasoning with a little salt and pepper.
Cook the sausage until done, or warmed through if you are using precooked or vegetarian sausage.
If your tortilla shells are cold, or have been refrigerated, warm them for 10 second in the microwave or in a pan. This to prevent tearing when we roll them up.
Place a warm tortilla shell over a large square of aluminum foil. Add the ingredients: hash brown patty, scrambled eggs, sausage, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro and a little hot sauce (optional). Roll into a burrito and then wrap in the aluminum foil. Repeat as needed.
Place the prepared breakfast burritos in the oven at 400°F for 8-10 minutes.
Once the cheese is melted tear the foil away and enjoy your breakfast burrito. Serve alongside some salsa, sour cream, etc.

Hash brown patties make this SO easy to make. But, you can use other potato options like hash browns, tater tots, etc. I like something crispy and air frying is great if own an air fryer.
If you want fluffier eggs, add a tablespoon or two of milk as you whisk them. If you don’t own a quality nonstick pan you may want to add a little butter or oil to the pan before cooking so the scrambled eggs don’t stick.
Breakfast sausage is great here or you can use a vegetarian breakfast sausage (we do this a lot at our house, that’s what is pictured here) or other proteins like bacon.
Shredded cheddar cheese is what I tend to use but any melty cheese is great like pepper jack or Colby jack.
If you prefer to microwave these rather than use the oven swap the aluminum foil for parchment or wax paper.
