Breakfast Burritos (Joycelyn)


These are a great make ahead breakfast. I make up a batch and package them for the freezer. The night before I place them in the refrigerator to defrost and microwave them in the morning.



12 eggs, beaten
1 lb bulk sausage, cooked (or crumbled links)
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
6 potatoes, shredded and fried until cooked through or hash browns
24 flour tortillas (I prefer to use uncooked tortillas from Costco and cook them my self they are very pliable and taste wonderful)

Optional Ingredients

1 green pepper, finely diced (optional)
1/2 cup chunky salsa (your choice of heat)
jalapenos, slices (optional)
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies (optional)
1-2 garlic cloves, finely minced (optional)
1 onion, finely diced (optional)
1 tomato, peeled and chopped (optional)
2 green onions, sliced with tops (optional)

Directions

Scramble eggs in large skillet until done; stir in cooked sausage.
Warm tortillas in microwave 20-30 seconds or until warm and flexible. (Or cook the ones from Costco.) Place 1/2 cup egg mixture into tortilla; roll burrito-style.
Freeze burritos in single layer on lightly greased cookie sheet.
When fully frozen, wrap burritos individually; place wrapped burritos in large zip-top freezer bags; freeze.

To Serve

Unwrap burritos from foil or plastic wrap that you used for freezing.
Wrap in a paper towel.
Cook in microwave until heated through (about 2 minutes).
Or thaw burritos (remove plastic wrap if used in freezing), wrap burritos in foil, and bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes.
