Ingredients

Refried Beans

1 can refried beans (16 oz.)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt

Scrambled Eggs

10 large eggs
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted (for pan)

Additional Burrito Ingredients

8-10 flour tortillas (burrito or soft taco size)
1 lb. breakfast sausage links (can also use ground sausage)
6 pieces breakfast hash brown patties (the texture of these is better than loose hash browns because they will get crispy on the outside and chewy inside)
2 cups shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or Cheddar)
store-bought queso (I like the Private Selection brand at Kroger/Fred Meyer)
BBQ sauce (can be store-bought or homemade. I like Kinder's brand.)
fresh cilantro, for topping

Instructions

Hash Brown Patties

Start by making up the hash brown patties. Cook in the air fryer (or oven) according to the package instructions. Once done cooking, keep on the "keep warm" setting of your oven or air fryer to keep them warm until ready to serve.
While these are cooking, you can prep your other ingredients.

Sausage Links

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, place all the sausage links and cover to cook until one side is golden brown (3-4 minutes).
Then, using tongs, flip the sausage links over and cook on the other side until browned.
Once cooked through and golden brown on each side, cover to keep warm until ready to assemble your burritos.

Scrambled Eggs

While the sausage is browning, you can make the scrambled eggs. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk all of the eggs with the cream and salt.
In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and swirl to coat bottom of the pan as it heats.
Once butter is coating pan, pour in scrambled egg mixture. Use a rubber spatula to continuously stir the eggs. I like to use a motion that pulls inward from the edges. Make sure to keep them moving so they don't get overcooked.
Keep stirring them until cooked to your liking, then remove from pan and place in a serving dish covered with aluminum foil to keep warm until ready to assemble your burritos.

Refried Beans

Place the whole can of beans into a microwave safe serving bowl and pour in the cream and garlic salt. Mix until well combined.
Microwave for 2-3 minutes until beans are steaming and warmed through. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm and set aside.

Assembly of Burritos

I like to begin by placing shredded cheese on each tortilla, then warming them in either a skillet pan or in the microwave.
Next, warm up your queso (either in the microwave or stovetop), according to package instructions.
Once each tortilla with cheese is warmed, layer on refried beans, then a hash brown patty, then eggs, then sausage, and top with a drizzle of queso, and then BBQ sauce.
Garnish with fresh cilantro. Wrap up your burrito and enjoy!
(These breakfast burritos are a great make-ahead meal. You can assemble up some extra, wrap in aluminum foil, and store in the fridge or freezer. Once ready to eat, just unwrap them and either microwave or cook up on a skillet pan.)
