Cook the hash browns: Cook the hash brown patties.
Cook the sausage: Meanwhile, fry the sausage with the garlic and onion. When it’s done and no pink remains inside, you can drain almost all the fat from the skillet and remove the sausage.
Scramble the eggs: Whisk the eggs with the milk and add this to the skillet to scramble, seasoning with salt and black pepper.
Assemble the crunchwraps: Spread some nacho cheese down the middle of flour tortillas and add a hash brown, some of the sausage, some of the scrambled eggs, and then some shredded cheese. Now trim the remaining tortillas down and use them to cover the filled ones, before wrapping the edges to seal.
Fry them: Cook the breakfast crunchwraps in oil in a skillet for 5 minutes per side or until crispy and golden.

Substitutions and Variations

Sausage: At Taco Bell, you can choose from bacon or sausage, so feel free to sub bacon for the sausage in this recipe. You just need to cook it and crumble it up.
Cheese: Use another type of cheese instead of cheddar if you prefer, such as shredded Mexican cheese.
Spice them up: Add chilies or hot sauce for a kick of heat.
Hash browns: You could use leftover fried potatoes rather than the hash browns.
Optional add-ins: Anything from jalapenos to refried beans or even seasoned rice can go in there. A little hot sauce is also great. Making Taco Bell at home is a great way to control the ingredients and save money on takeout.
Vegetarian version: Substitute mushrooms, bell peppers or another vegetable for the breakfast sausage.

Serving Suggestions

With brunch: Enjoy contrasting brunch dishes like cinnamon scones, banana Nutella muffins or some pancakes. A smoothie bowl would also be good.
