Instructions

1

Bake Potato Nuggets

Start by heating your oven to 450°F. While it’s warming up, spread out the potato nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven. Let them bake until they turn golden and crispy, about 17 to 19 minutes.

2

Cook Fluffy Scrambled Eggs

Next, spray a large skillet with cooking spray and warm it over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them up, then pour them into the skillet. Keep stirring gently until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy, which should take around 5 minutes.

3

Make sausage gravy

While the potatoes and eggs are cooking, toss the green onions and butter into a cold saucepan. Take the sausage links out of their packaging, place them on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for about a minute until hot. Chop the sausages into small pieces and add them to the onion and butter mix along with the bacon. Heat everything over medium, stirring now and then until the butter melts. Gradually sprinkle in the flour, stirring to form a paste, then slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Turn the heat down to low and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with black pepper and a pinch of cayenne.

4

Assemble and Heat Burritos

Now it’s time to assemble. Lay a tortilla flat on a microwave-safe plate and place two slices of Cheddar cheese in the center. Spoon a quarter of the scrambled eggs over the cheese, then add about five of the baked potato nuggets. Heat this in the microwave for about 20 seconds until everything is warmed through. Spoon some of the sausage gravy over the filling, microwave for another 20 to 30 seconds, and then roll up the burrito while it’s still warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have four hearty burritos ready to enjoy.
