So a long time ago, more like 5 years ago, when we were newlyweds, my husband used to get up and make himself and me breakfast almost every morning before work. It was so great!
Our mornings look a lot different now. I’m usually sleeping or feeding the baby when my husband gets up early to go to work. He never seems to have the time to make himself a hot breakfast, and usually ends up taking something on the road, or eats when he gets to work.
I wanted to come up with a good breakfast solution that was cost effective and easy.
So I began making these breakfast burritos and they are the perfect answer to our problem. They are warm (perfect for those cold mornings), takes a minute to heat in the microwave, and they are perfect for taking on the road should you need to!
Each batch usually consists of 10-12 burritos, so that is 2 weeks of breakfast for my hubby, and at 83 cents a piece, I’d say that is pretty great.
What you need:
1 pkg of 10 large tortillas
1 dozen eggs
1lb of country mild sausage
2 cups of mild cheddar
Saran wrap
Gallon freezer bags
Step 1: Brown the ground sausage and let cool to room temperature. Scramble and cook a dozen eggs and also let cool.
Step 2: Mix the cooled sausage and eggs together evenly.
Step 3: Place a tortilla on top of a square of saran wrap. Put a little bit of cheese down in the middle. Scoop some of the egg/ sausage mixture and place on top of the cheese, and then sprinkle a little more cheese on top. (The cheese helps everything stick together when you warm up the burrito!
Step 4: Fold the short ends of the burrito in first and then roll the burrito. Secure with saran wrap and place into a labeled gallon freezer bag.
What are your go to quick breakfast recipes?
I never thought of doing this before but it makes so much sense! My husband absolutely loves them. I even made a version with a pound of colored bacon instead of the sausage. Both were hits. Now just waiting for the next great food idea you have. 😄
