Instructions
1
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the tater tots package. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
2
Spread the frozen tater tots evenly on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake according to the package directions until crispy and golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
3
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Jimmy Dean sausage, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Continue cooking until browned and fully cooked through. Drain off any excess fat and transfer the sausage to a bowl to cool completely.
4
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until well combined. Scramble the eggs in a skillet over medium heat, cooking until they reach your desired doneness. Transfer them to a bowl and let cool.
5
After the sausages, eggs, and tater tots have cooled, it's time to assemble the burritos. Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Start by adding a layer of sausage, followed by scrambled eggs, a handful of shredded cheese, and a few tater tots.
6
Roll the tortilla tightly into a burrito shape, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat this process until all tortillas are filled and rolled.
7
Once all burritos are assembled, wrap each one in plastic wrap to maintain freshness. Place the wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe plastic bag for easy storage.
8
When you're ready to enjoy a burrito, simply unwrap it and reheat it in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Serve with your choice of salsa.
