Steps

You’ll need: large skillet, rimmed baking sheet, foil or freezer bags.

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the hash browns with the oil on a baking sheet and bake 20 minutes, until crisp.
  2. Brown the sausage in a large skillet, breaking it up, until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F. Drain on paper towels. Wipe out the skillet.
  3. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Scramble in the skillet over medium-low heat until no liquid egg remains. Let everything cool 10 minutes.
  4. Divide the potatoes, sausage, eggs and cheese among the tortillas. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  5. Wrap each in foil or plastic and freeze. To reheat: unwrap, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes, turning once, until 165°F in the center.

🌡 Safe temperaturesGround pork or pork sausage 160°F; Egg dishes 160°F; Leftovers, reheated 165°F. Check the thickest part with a food thermometer (USDA). More on food safety.
