Breakfast Burritos

Let's make life a little easier. I make these breakfast burritos for Austin so that he can quickly eat something (with sustenance) before he goes to work in the morning. When he's waking up at 4:30, these become very convenient. I put quite a bit of filling in the tortillas, and it ends up making 8.

I forgot to put the cheese in the picture!

-8 Burrito size Tortillas
-1 lb. package pork sausage
-8 pieces of bacon
-8 eggs
-1 c. cheddar cheese






You'll want to cook everything before combining them together. I bake my bacon on a stone in the oven at 400 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. While the bacon is cooking, get the sausage going in a skillet. Chop it up so it will be in crumbles. Cook until no longer pink. Strain off grease. Put in a mixing bowl. Don't rinse skillet. Crack all eggs in a separate bowl. Whisk together. Add a splash of milk and a dash of salt and pepper and whisk again (this is optional)! Pour into the skillet.

   Cook eggs until they're no longer runny. Add scrambled eggs to the sausage. Crumble bacon (or cut with kitchen shears!) into mixing bowl. Mix all together. Add in cheese and stir again. Spoon mixture evenly into each tortilla. Wrap up (long side, both ends, roll up). Wrap well in plastic wrap. Put all burritos in a labeled, large ziploc bag. Freeze. Put a burrito in the fridge the night before you want to eat it to defrost a little. We've found that works better for when you heat them. Then just heat in the microwave for 1:30-2:00 or until center is hot. *Of course, you can eat these the day you make them instead of freezing them! **To make these healthier, use turkey sausage, turkey bacon, egg whites, reduced fat tortillas, and reduced fat cheese. Or, slim them down by using less... less cheese, less bacon...you get the point.

I only had 5 burrito tortillas, so I used 3 other tortillas I had!
