Wet Breakfast Burrito

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

My recipe of the day is with Foodie Extravaganza when we post recipes as a group, this month on the topic of potatoes for National Potato Month.

My selection is for wet breakfast burritos, made with sausage and potatoes (but no egg) with diced peppers and a Texas style red sauce/gravy.

I eat a lot of eggs for breakfast to keep carbs lower, so I tend to tire of them so while most breakfast burritos are egg-centric, I purposefully left them out of these.

They are patterned after the type of Tex-Mex wet burritos I love which are covered in a wet sauce and have melted cheese
