Thomas’s Quick & Easy Breakfast Burritos
When it comes to breakfast, you need something that’s hearty and nutritional. After all, if you’ll be hitting the trails or checking out America’s best national parks, you don’t want to head out on an empty stomach! Thomas’s breakfast burritos are the perfect combination: filling, easy to make, and delicious!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon of Milk
- 1 Tablespoon of Chopped Chilies
- 4 Sausage Links
- 4 Flour Tortillas (8” diameter)
- 5 Cups Shredded Mexican Cheese
Optional:
- 1lb Bag of Hash Browns/Shredded Potatoes
Cooking Your Breakfast Burritos
#1. If you’re adding potatoes to your breakfast burritos, cook the hash browns or shredded potatoes of your choice as directed on their bag, and setting them aside when ready.
#2. Cook your sausage links until complete and slice into smaller pieces.
#3. In one bowl, beat the four eggs while mixing in the chopped chilies and milk until blended.
#4. Pour the blended eggs onto a skillet over medium-heat, stirring occasionally until fully scrambled.
#5. Add in the sliced sausage links and hash browns, if you’re using them, as the eggs near completion.

That’s all there is to it! These are a favorite for campers not only because of how easy they are to make, but also because of how easy they are to keep! Depending on how many campers you have, you can increase or decrease the recipe as needed. We also recommend making more than you might need – as these burritos can easily be wrapped in foil and saved for tomorrow’s breakfast too!
