A Gnat Ranch Recipe: Breakfast Burritos

Morning chores builds a big appetite. Especially in the winter months. So big breakfasts are the order of the day. Here's one of our favorites.

Breakfast Burritos
Note: The portions listed are for making one burrito. Adjust accordingly for the number of burritos you will need to feed your crew.
Brown and crumble 2 ounces of mutton sausage*. Drain.
Add 1 ounce of shredded hash brown potatoes, cooked to a golden brown.
Add 1 teaspoon of minced onion and 1 teaspoon of finely chopped bell pepper or green chili. Cook until onions are translucent and peppers are wilted.
Add 1 egg, slightly beaten. Cook until egg is set.
Spoon filling onto a steamed 10 inch tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla into a burrito and wrap in foil. Place in a warm oven for 5 to 10 minutes to melt the cheese. Serve warm with your favorite salsa, gaucamole, and sour cream.
*If you don't have access to mutton sausage, you may substitute pork sausage or ground beef.
