Breakfast Burritos

 

Breakfast Burritos

I was never one to enjoy a breakfast burrito until I was making freezer meals for a week and realized I forgot to buy bread or even make bread for my breakfast sandwiches. Then my houseguest buddy suggested I use the tortillas on my shelf, fill them with scrambled eggs, sausage, and cheese, and roll them up, so why not try it. I’ve been hooked ever since. I love them. You can freeze them in a plastic Ziploc bag, take one out defrost in the fridge overnight, pop it in the microwave for about 40 seconds, and enjoy it with my coffee and juice.  So, let’s make some now, you will thank me for the instructions.

Ingredients:

 

4-6 Tortillas

4 Eggs

Butter

Milk or whipping cream

Salt

Black Pepper

Scallions

1 Green pepper diced

Breakfast sausage or bacon

Cheese your choice

Tater tots or diced potatoes/hash-browns

 Directions:

Preheat oven to directions on Hash-browns or tater tot package. Usually 400 Degrees F.

In a skillet begin to cook the sausage until completely cooked. Set it aside. Dice up the green pepper and sauté green pepper and scallions in a skillet with butter until soft. Remove from skillet and cook the Scramble eggs with some milk or cream, salt, and black pepper. Once cooked remove from skillet and set aside.

On a cookie sheet, place 4-6 tortillas out, divide ingredients onto tortillas, top with cheese, and roll up. Be sure to have the final roll with the flap side down. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in a Ziploc bag for the freezer. You can freeze these in the freezer for up to a month. I suggest making enough for a week at a time to ensure no food waste or in case your desire for breakfast food changes.
