Ingredients

54 frozen tater tots

18 maple breakfast sausage links 

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter

2 large onions, sliced 

18 large eggs 

1 cup half-and-half 

1/2 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry's) 

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

2 cups grated mild Cheddar  

18 fajita-size flour tortillas 

Two 16-ounce jars store-bought salsa 

Green and red hot sauces for serving 

Directions

Special equipment:
2 foil pans Aluminum foil sheets
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Place the frozen tater tots on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes. Place the sausages on a sheet pan and bake for 5 minutes.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a second large skillet. Add the whisked eggs and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are set.
  5. To assemble the burritos, stack the tortillas on a paper towel and microwave for about 30 seconds. Place a heaping spoonful of egg mixture onto the middle of a warm tortilla, top with a little caramelized onions, 1 sausage link, 3 tater tots, a little salsa, and about 2 tablespoons cheese per burrito. (You can also leave some without cheese if preferred.) Tuck in the sides and roll the tortilla closed. Wrap in a foil sheet. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Keep warm in the oven in foil pans until ready to serve. Serve with salsa and the hot sauces.

These are fantastic and EASY. I've made them over and over, and they'renot a lot of work. I recommend following Ree's recipe exactly the first time you make these, then you can change it up a bit (use a different or no meat, use a little hot sauce instead of the recommend amount of salsa, etc.) to suit your taste. I find it easier to cook each ingredient and let them cool, then I assemble the burritos assembly line style. Since we don't eat these every day, I wrap each one in plastic wrap, then foil, then put 4 or 5 in a ziplock freezer bag and place the bags in the freezer. When we want one, just pull one out, remove the foil, place the plastic-wrapped burrito on a plate, and microwave it for 1 minute on each side. I highly recommend these!
