Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to broil, positioning a rack 2-3 inches from the heat source.
2
Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by spraying it with nonstick spray or brushing it with olive oil.
3
Arrange the burrito-size flour tortillas on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
4
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add the loose Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until it begins to turn golden, approximately 3 minutes.
5
Stir in the frozen hash browns and continue cooking, stirring only occasionally, until the potatoes are browned and crispy, about 12 minutes.
6
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the hash brown mixture and stir to combine evenly.
7
Evenly distribute the sausage and hash brown mixture among the tortillas, leaving space for additional fillings.
8
Wipe out the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Add 2 teaspoons of unsalted butter and allow it to melt, swirling the pan to coat.
9
Once the butter is foaming, crack the eggs into the skillet and season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently scramble the egg whites while keeping the yolks intact until almost cooked, then carefully break the yolks and lightly scramble to combine. Remove the skillet from heat, as the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
10
Divide the scrambled eggs amongst the tortillas, followed by half of the grated cheddar cheese.
11
Top each tortilla with one tostada, then fold each tortilla around the tostada, securing it with toothpicks to hold in place.
12
Brush the outside of each wrap with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
13
Transfer the wraps to the oven and broil for about 3 minutes, or until the tortillas are deeply golden and the interior is warmed through.
14
Serve the Crispy Breakfast Fiesta Wraps warm, accompanied by hot sauce and sour cream on the side.
