Freezer Friendly Friday - Breakfast Burritos!

I've never really caught on to the whole breakfast burrito phenom - but I married into a family that is crazy for them. Me, I prefer my eggs, meat, and bread all in it's own spot on my plate, not rolled into one. Oh well. My hubby loves them. Loves them! In fact, he would eat most of his meals wrapped in a tortilla with ketchup or hot sauce if I'd let him.

So you can imagine my excitement when I found this little gem here. I love that my hubby will eat a healthy non-Pop-Tart breakfast and I don't have to get up before the sun to make it. I made a few changes, so I will post my version of the recipe...

18 eggs
1 lb. sausage
1 lb. bacon
3 cups cheese
1 cup salsa
24 flour tortillas
2-3 cups frozen hash browns

Of course you can add in anything else you like, onions, green peppers, jalapenos, garlic, tomatoes, etc. I sauteed my sausage with some diced onion. And you don't have to add the hash browns either, but they make the filling stretch a little further.

In one large skillet cook sausage, drain and set aside. In same pan cook bacon, set aside, then crumble. Drain most of oil. In same pan (I hate dishes!!) cook hash browns until soft, set aside. In same pan scramble eggs, set aside.

Now, I made two separate batches, to see if the bacon or sausage worked better. You could do one or the other. Because I was making two, I put the meat into separate bowls, then divided up the eggs, potatoes, cheese, and salsa into each bowl. Mixed and dumped in 1/2 cup servings onto tortillas. I used the soft taco size. Rolled them up and froze on a greased cookie sheet for about an hour or two. Then brought them in, individually wrapped them in plastic wrap, placed in a large zipper bag, then froze again. They are ready for my hubby to grab and take on his way out the door!

It might seem time consuming, but it took less than the length of Finding Nemo to make and assemble all of them ;). We made 24.

The verdict: I liked them! My 2 year old loves them! My hubby was in heaven. He claims to prefer bacon to sausage, but said the bacon didn't freeze as well as the sausage, and loved the sausage ones.

Enjoy!
