Venison Summer Sausage Green Chile Breakfast Burritos

Everyone loves venison summer sausage. Slip a roll in your pocket or pack, then slice off a chunk, open a pack of crackers, and enjoy a snack or quick lunch. You can have a local processor make it, or do it yourself with this recipe.

But crackers aren’t the only way to enjoy summer sausage. Need a quick and easy breakfast? This one fits the bill.

Start by shedding the potatoes on a grater. Place the shedded potatoes on a piece of cheese cloth or a clean kitchen towel. Lift the edges to form a bag around the potatoes and squeeze to force out as much moisture as possible.

Grate the potatoes, then squeeze out the excess moisture for an extra crispy fry.

Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add the potatoes and season well with salt and pepper. Avoid the temptation to move the hash browns around. Let them get a nice golden brown sear on the bottom, then flip to brown the other side.

Cook the hash browns until crispy, then move them to a warm plate.

Once you have good color on both sides of the hash browns, go ahead and break them apart with your spatula to continue cooking.

Dice the summer sausage into small pieces.

Once the hash browns are done, move them to a warm plate. Wipe the skillet clean and add the diced summer sausage. Sauté to render out some of the fat and to crisp up the sausage.

Saute the sausage until cooked through and crisp on the surface.

Add the eggs and cook until nearly done, stirring to blend the sausage evenly throughout the egg. Add the green chile peppers and the cheese. Stir to blend.

Add the eggs, cheese and green chile peppers.

Warm the tortillas before filling. Spoon the egg and sausage mixture down the center of a tortilla, top with crispy hash browns, then wrap.

Blend the potatoes into the egg filling, then spoon onto a warm tortilla and wrap.

I like to serve these with hot sauce. You can wrap them in foil and stick in your pocket to enjoy in the deer stand or duck blind later.
