Breakfast Burrito Pitas

Breakfast burritos are especially wonderfully delicious when they have fried potatoes in them.

Oh and they’re really good with sage sausage in them too.

And of course the normal cast of breakfast burrito characters like scrambled eggs, refried beans, cheese and salsa are a must.

Since in combination, all of these ingredients taste plain old good together, why not put them in something other than a flour tortilla.  Like maybe put them in a pita.  Good idea!

So there you have it, a breakfast burrito pita is born.

And the fried potatoes are every bit as delicious.

These breakfast burrito pitas can be made ahead of time and all you have to do is warm them up right before serving.

They’re great for a breakfast on-the-go too.

Just pop them in the microwave, grab a napkin and you’re off to the races….or wherever you happen to be going.

Thank you for stopping by and have a nice long weekend.

So let’s check out the ingredients.

Pita pocket bread, eggs, milk, butter, potatoes, onion, salt, pepper, canola oil, sage sausage, cheddar cheese, and salsa

Here’s how to make it.

For the Fried Potatoes:

Wash and peel the potatoes.  Then cut them into small to medium size cubes.

In a large bowl, add the potatoes.

Chop the onions and add them to the bowl.

Then add the pepper…

…and the salt.

Stir until the potatoes are coated with the salt and pepper.

Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the canola oil.

Add the potatoes and onions to the pan and stir as they cook.

Continue cooking until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned (about 20 minutes).

Transfer the potatoes on to a plate with a paper towel on it.  Set aside.

For the Sausage:

Heat a medium size skillet on medium heat.  Add the sausage and break it up into small pieces with a spatula.

Stir as the sausage is cooking.  Continue to stir the sausage so that it cooks evenly.  When it’s thoroughly cooked (about 14 to 16 minutes), transfer it on to a plate with a paper towel and set aside.

For the Scrambled Eggs:

In a medium size bowl, add the eggs, milk, salt and pepper.

Then…

…whisk together.

Heat a medium size skillet on medium heat and add the butter.  When the butter melts…

…add the eggs.

Stir the eggs with a spatula as they cook.

Continue to stir until the eggs are thoroughly cooked (about 5 minutes).  Set aside.

For the Pitas:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut each pita pocket in half and gently open them up.  Set the pita pockets upright in a small casserole dish, shallow oven-safe bowl, or bread loaf pan with the pitas leaning up against one another if necessary.

Using a spatula or dinner knife gently spread the refried beans inside each pita pocket.

Add the sausage…

…and..

…the scrambled eggs,

salsa,

fried potatoes,

and…

…cheese.

Bake in the oven until the cheese starts to melt.

Serve while warm with salsa.

Enjoy.
