Breakfast Burrito Skillet Ingredients

The ingredients needed for this breakfast skillet are incredibly simple and affordable, and it’s a short list! You’ll need a pound of ground breakfast sausage, and here you can use mild or spicy, depending on your preference. You’ll also need diced gold potatoes, salsa, black beans, diced onions, shredded cheese and a few eggs.

If you’re looking to keep this recipe sugar-free, you’ll want to grab a package of sausage that doesn’t contain sugar. You can check this resource for a list of sugar free sausage options. You can also make this recipe dairy-free really easily by simply omitting the cheese.

How to Cook Your Breakfast Burrito Skillet

There are only a few easy steps you’ll need to follow to cook this one pan breakfast. The first of those is to add your ground breakfast sausage to a large cast iron or oven safe skillet over medium high heat. You’re going to brown the sausage until it’s no longer pink, and then transfer it to a plate, leaving the oil from the sausage in the pan.

Then you’ll add in the diced potatoes and diced onions to your skillet to cook in the fat from the sausage. Season your potatoes with the garlic powder, salt and pepper and cook them for about 10 minutes, covered and stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork tender. At this point most of the work cooking the breakfast skillet is done!

Your next step will be to add the sausage crumbles back into the skillet, along with the beans, salsa and shredded cheese. If you’re using the optional 4 ounce can of diced green chiles, those will be added at this step as well. Stir the ingredients in the skillet to combine them together.

Once the ingredients are combined, create 4 wells or divots in the skillet with the back of a spoon. Make them evenly spaced apart, and then gently crack an egg into each one, keeping the yolks whole. Once all four divots have an egg in them, place the skillet into the oven.

Now you will bake the breakfast skillet until the egg whites have set and the egg yolks are to your liking. This will be about 14 minutes for still runny, and a few more minutes for more well done. Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and serve as a skillet, or in breakfast tacos or wrapped in a burrito.

Serving & Storing Instructions

This breakfast skillet is great served as it’s own meal, topped with avocado or guacamole, salsa, cilantro, black olives, or your favorite toppings. It’s also great served in tortillas and enjoyed as taco filling, or wrapped up in a tortilla as a burrito.

You can also use this breakfast recipe for meal prep for quick breakfasts throughout the week or even lunches. It lasts in the fridge, stored in air-tight containers, for up to 4 days. If you’re planning on using it for meal prep, you may want to slightly undercook the eggs by removing the skillet from the oven about 2 minutes prior to when the yolks are at how you prefer them cooked. Reheating in the microwave will cook your eggs further, so you want to account for that when you bake the skillet the first time.
