Ingredients

Flour tortillas - the large 10-inch burrito-size ones

Breakfast sausage - links, patties, or ground sausage

Hash browns - diced or shredded potatoes

Eggs

Cheddar cheese - opt for mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Mexican cheese blend if preferred

Salt & pepper

Hot sauce, salsa, or other sauce - optional

How to Make a Crunchwrap

Prepare potatoes, sausage, and eggs for the crunchwrap filling:

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet and place frozen hash browns in the oil.
2. Brown on both sides then pour into a bowl.
3. Take any casing off the sausage and crumble it into the skillet.
4. Fry until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan to a bowl.
5. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk until frothy. Season with salt and pepper then pour them into the hot skillet.
6. Cook stirring constantly until done.

How to Assemble a Crunchwrap

Basically, you'll place the filling components on the tortilla to make the crunchwrap layers. Then make the classic crunchwrap fold into a Taco Bell pentagon, and finally toast it in a pan to seal the edges and make the outside nice and crispy. See the steps below.

Before assembling, warm the tortillas to make them more pliable and easier to fold without cracking or tearing. Here are three ways to warm tortillas:

• Heat them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side.
• Put up to 5 of them on a plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave them in 30-second intervals until they are warmed.
• Wrap them in foil and put them in a 350°F oven for about 15 minutes.

1. Lay a warm or fresh soft tortilla on a flat surface. Scoop a small amount of eggs in the center and top with cooked crumbled sausage.
2. Sprinkle with cheese.
3. Add ¼ of the hash browns on top.
4. Finish with salsa or hot sauce.
5. To fold, turn up one side towards the center. Holding the edge down, pleat the edges toward the center to form a 5-sided pentagon that seals the packet. Place seam side down in a hot frying pan to seal the edges.
6. Once browned, turn over and toast the other side.

Recipe Tips

• Don't overfill the tortillas or you won't have enough edge to overlap and seal the crunchwrap.
• Remember to first cook them seam-side down to seal the edges.

Recipe Variations

Make this breakfast crunchwrap your own with some easy additions or substitutions. Here are some ideas:

• Bacon Breakfast Crunchwrap - Use bacon instead of sausage.
• Steak Breakfast Crunchwrap - Use leftover steak or carne asada instead of sausage.
• California Crunchwrap - Swap the hot sauce with guacamole and add some fresh chopped tomatoes.
• Extra Crunch - Add broken tortilla chips or corn tostada shells.

Air Fryer Breakfast Crunchwrap

1. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
2. Spray or coat the outside of the crunchwrap with oil.
3. Place it seam-side down in the air fryer basket.
4. Air fry for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Make Ahead

1. Allow the cooked eggs and sausage to cool to room temperature. This will prevent them from steaming the tortilla and causing it to get soggy.
2. Assemble, fold, and wrap them tightly with plastic wrap. Store them in the refrigerator.
3. When ready to cook, remove them from the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to get them to room temperature.
4. Pan-fry them as directed.

How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat

Storing: Allow the crunchwraps to cool to room temperature. Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or plastic zip-top bag. Refrigerate them for up to 4 days.

Freezing: Allow the crunchwraps to cool to room temperature. Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container or plastic freezer bag. Freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge overnight.

Reheating: Reheat them in an air fryer at 370°F for 2 to 3 minutes per side, microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel on MEDIUM (50% power) in 30-second increments, or on the stove in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3 minutes on each side.
