Breakfast Burritos


They're super simple and customizable.

Ingredients
15 eggs
Whatever you use to flavor eggs - I use garlic powder, onion salt, & dry mustard
1 pound pork sausage or ground meat of choice 
2 small or 1 large can diced green chiles
Finely shredded cheese 
burrito size tortillas (two packs of eight, I typically get 12-14 burritos out of this depending on how heavy handed I am in filling them)

Instructions
Brown meat  until cooked through. Drain and set aside. do not clean pan, use it for eggs. 

Beat eggs well. Pour into greased, warm non-stick pan and add spices. Scramble, adding diced green chiles about halfway through. When eggs have reached desired consistency, set aside to cool.

Lay tortillas out on clean surface. Lay down a little cheese, top with some egg, add some sausage, bam. Roll up into a burrito and secure in wrap.

Continue until the egg mixture is gone.

Stack wrapped burritos in a gallon-size freezer bag and freeze. To prepare, unwrap burrito and place on microwave safe plate with the folded side down. Heat in microwave for 30-45 seconds, flip over, and heat for another 30-45 seconds.

Sometimes I look at my calendar and see very little time for food prep. So I need to make adjustments. One of those adjustments is using a weekend where I have more time to do some make ahead meals I can freeze. For breakfast, my favorite freezable option is the breakfast burrito.

  6. Making the burritos ahead of time is such a great idea. I do it all the time with extra pancakes, but I never thought of doing it with egg dishes. If Jimmy Dean can do it, so can I. Thanks for the great idea.

  9. Those look yummy! That's great that you are so organized with your meal planning. I wish I could get my act together and start so I'm not just grabbing a NutriGrain Bar.

  10. A good friend of mine, Lane at supperforasteal.com, has a few make ahead breakfasts like this on her site. I make egg muffins a lot and freeze but these burritos look wayyyy good (also, I am sort of over the egg muffins, lol), so I need to try some variation for sure!

  12. Can you come live withme and be my chef? Seriously, you are amazing. Steve and I had your beef barley veggie soup for dinner last night, and it was perfect and filling and hearty and delicious. We plan on having leftovers for our snow day lunch with some crusty bread!

  17. Yum, I love breakfast burritos! I *finally* found tortillas that don't have soy in them, too...at Trader Joe's. Guess whose mother sends her air mail groceries... ;)

  18. I need to make some of these -- breakfast burritos are my hubby's fav breakfast, but he hardly ever eats bfast bc he claims he doesn't have time. (I disagree, but anyway...) Maybe if he could grab these and reheat at work, he would eat? (Also I love not having a cooking mess to clean up in the morning.)

  19. YUM! Perfect for on the go weekday breakfasts :)

  20. I can't eat burritos, womp womp - but I have been wanting to try these for KC. I've seen ones that have black beans in them, but I'm too scared to try in case they turn out bad. Might have to make these ones first! and yay for printable recipes!

  21. OMG, that haiku. I think it's one of my favorites you've done.

    I love a good breakfast burrito. I typically use eggs, peppers, onions, cheese, and bacon. So delicious. I think I need to make some this weekend.

  22. Printable recipes? Well aren't we Iggy?! (Fancy, duh!) I need more coffee....

    Anyways, breakfast burritos sound so fun and easy! I am on this kick where I hate eggs right now though, so I will pin this and come back when I can stomach them again.
