Instructions
In medium bowl, crack eggs and scramble. Add milk (if desired), salt, pepper, and basil. Mix to combine.
Scramble eggs in skillet over medium heat until just fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In separate pan or skillet, brown breakfast sausage over medium-high heat until cooked through and no longer pink. Remove from heat and drain off any fat. Set aside to cool.
ASSEMBLY
Once eggs and sausage have cooled, layer 1/4 cup of each filling ingredient - hash browns, sausage, eggs, and shredded cheese - in the center on the lower third of a flour tortilla.
Bring the bottom of the tortilla up and wrap snugly over the filling.
Fold sides of the tortilla inward toward the center.
Roll tortilla away from you to form a burrito, being sure to keep filling tightly wrapped.
Wrap burrito in plastic wrap, aluminum foil, or freezer paper.
Repeat assembly until all tortillas are used.
Place wrapped burritos into gallon-sized tip-top freezer bags (about 6 or 7 per bag).
Label and date the bag, remove as much air as possible, and seal.
Place bags in the freezer to freeze.
REHEATING
In the microwave (frozen):
Remove any plastic wrap, freezer paper, or aluminum foil. Wrap the burrito loosely in a damp paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate.
Heat in the microwave for 60 seconds, then flip the burrito over, and heat for another 60-90 seconds until the center is fully warmed through.
In the microwave (thawed):
Remove burrito(s) from the freezer and place into refrigerator to thaw overnight.
Proceed with instructions above from frozen, but change cook time to 30 seconds, then flip, then 30 more seconds.
In the oven or toaster oven (frozen):
Remove any plastic wrap or freezer paper and wrap each burrito in aluminum foil (it they aren't already).
Place frozen burritos on a baking sheet, spaced so they are not touching each other.
Bake, wrapped, at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes.
Remove from oven and carefully unwrap burritos (they will be hot). Place back onto baking sheet.
Spray burrito(s) lightly with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with small amount of kosher salt.
Place burrito(s) back into oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
In the oven or toaster oven (thawed):
Follow steps 1 and 2 above, then skip to step 5 and proceed to bake the burritos, unwrapped, for 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
On the stovetop (frozen or thawed):
Remove any plastic wrap, freezer paper, or aluminum foil.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan.
Cook burrito(s) for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
In the air fryer (frozen):
Remove any wrapping.
Place burrito(s) into air fryer basket.
Cook for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.
In the air fryer (thawed):
Remove burrito(s) from the freezer and place into refrigerator to thaw overnight.
Remove any wrappings and place thawed burrito(s) into air fryer basket. (If doing multiple make sure they do not touch.)
Cook for 4-6 minutes at 400 degrees.
Notes
Frozen burritos will last up to 3 months in the freezer if properly wrapped and protected. For best taste and texture, eat within 1-2 months.
