Breakfast Burrito Pitas with Sausage
Breakfast burrito filling inside pita pocket bread made with fried potatoes, sage breakfast sausage, eggs, cheese, salsa and more.
In this recipe, instead of wrapping the breakfast burrito filling inside a flour tortilla, the burrito filling is inside pita pocket bread.
The ingredients in these burritos include fried potatoes and sage breakfast sausage.
And of course, the normal cast of breakfast burrito characters like scrambled eggs, refried beans, cheese and salsa are a must.
About the Ingredients
You know that when all of these ingredients taste delicious on their own, they’re going to taste even better when combined.
Pita Bread
In this recipe, pita pocket bread is used (the bread can be opened up like a “pocket” where ingredients can be put inside).
In the market, there are generally 2 types of pita bread to choose from.
- a pita pocket that can be opened like in this recipe (these are most often baked in the oven); and
- a pita without a pocket that are thicker and have a soft texture (these are generally baked on a hot surface)
Fried Potatoes and Sage Breakfast Sausage
And the fried potatoes and sage breakfast sausage add great texture and flavor in these breakfast burritos.
Serving
These breakfast burrito pitas can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator so all you have to do is warm them up right before serving.
They’re great for a breakfast on-the-go too.
Just warm them in the microwave, grab a napkin and you’re off to the races…or wherever you happen to be going.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Fried Potatoes – potatoes, onion, salt, pepper and canola oil

A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
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 paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Set aside.
For the Sage Breakfast 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 paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
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 Breakfast Burrito 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 on the inside of each pita pocket.
Add the cooked sausage…
…and…
…the scrambled eggs,
salsa,
fried potatoes,
and…
…shredded cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven (at 350 degrees F.) until the cheese melts.
Serve warm with salsa.
