Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large russet potato, peeled
  • 3 cups frying oil
  • ½ pound ground beef or turkey sausage
  • 4 slices thick-cut beef strips
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • Kent Rollins’ Original Seasoning (or salt and pepper)
  • 2 tbsp roasted green chiles (or 4 oz can diced green chiles)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can refried beans
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 (10-12 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 (14 oz) can tomatillo sauce
  • 4 jalapeños
  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves

Instructions

  1. Grate potatoes into water-filled bowl. Rinse and drain four times until water runs clear. Squeeze dry with a clean towel.
  2. Heat oil to 350°F. Fry hash browns until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Cook crumbled sausage in cast iron skillet over medium heat until ¾ done. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Cook beef strips in same skillet for 5 minutes until crispy. Reserve the drippings.
  5. Beat eggs with seasoning. Mix in green chiles and cooked sausage.
  6. Scramble egg mixture in skillet for 4-5 minutes until fluffy.
  7. Heat beans with garlic powder, cumin, and paprika for 3-4 minutes.
  8. Spread ⅓ beans on each tortilla. Layer with beef strip, eggs, and hash browns.
  9. Fold ends first, then wrap sides over tightly.
  10. Sear burritos seam-side down in reserved drippings for 1-2 minutes per side.
  11. For sauce: Boil jalapeños, onion, and garlic 5 minutes. Blend with tomatillo sauce until smooth.

Notes

  • Dry potatoes thoroughly – excess moisture prevents crispy hash browns from forming properly
  • Don’t overcook eggs – remove from heat while slightly wet as they’ll continue cooking
  • Warm tortillas before filling to prevent cracking and make rolling easier
  • Let assembled burritos rest 2 minutes before cutting to help fillings set
  • Double the recipe and freeze extras wrapped in foil for quick reheating
