Ingredients
For the hash browns:
- 1/4 cup neutral-flavored oil
- 1 pound hash brown potatoes
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning can substitute Southwestern spices or Cajun spices
- salt to taste
For the wraps:
- 1/2 pound ground pork sausage
- 6 eggs beaten
- 5 burrito-sized flour tortillas divided
- 7 ounces quesadilla cheese shredded
- neutral-flavored oil to taste
- guacamole optional, to taste, homemade or store-bought, for serving
Directions
- In a large, wide skillet over medium heat, add 1/4 cup of the oil.
- Working in batches, add the hash brown potatoes in a thin layer and sprinkle them with some of the taco seasoning.
- Press the potatoes gently with a spatula.
- Cook the hash browns until golden-brown and crispy on the bottom, about 5-8 minutes.
- Flip the hash browns and cook until golden-brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked hash browns to a paper-towel-lined-plate to drain and immediately season them with the salt.
- Repeat until all of the hash browns are cooked and seasoned with the remaining taco seasoning and the salt.
- In a separate large skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5-8 minutes.
- Drain the excess grease from the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add the eggs to the hot skillet with the sausage and cook, while gently stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are just barely set, about 3-4 minutes.
- On a flat surface, lay 1 of the tortillas.
- Cut the tortilla into quarters. Set it aside.
- Lay out the remaining tortillas.
- On each of the tortillas, layer an even amount of the seasoned hash browns, the sausage-egg mixture, and the quesadilla cheese.
- Place 1 of the reserved tortilla quarters on top of each of the cheese layers.
- Fold the edges of the filled tortillas inward over the quarter-piece of the tortilla, one section at a time, until they make an octagon-shaped wrap.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the extra oil.
- Place the filled tortilla wraps in the hot oil, seam-side down, and cook until firm, crunchy, and golden-brown on the bottom, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the wraps and cook until firm, crunchy, and golden-brown on the reverse side, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve hot with the guacamole.
