These ingredients are optional.

Scramble eggs in large skillet until cooked. Stir in cooked sausage. Add any of the extras you choose. Save the salsa and shredded cheese.

Wrap the Tortillas in a damp paper towel and warm in the microwave until they are warm (about 1 minute).

Place 1/2 cup of scrambled egg mixture into a tortilla. Then add a little of the shredded cheese and a spoonful of the salsa. Then roll burrito-style.

To Freeze:

Wrap each burrito in foil and freeze in single layer on a cookie sheet. When fully frozen transfer wrapped burritos to large zip-top freezer bags and freeze.

To Serve:

Remove foil and wrap in a paper towel. Cook for about 2 minutes in the microwave. Cook times may vary depending on how much power your microwave has.

Freeze Breakfast Burritos

I make breakfast burritos and freeze them. Then if we are running late all I have to do is microwave them and walk out the door!

They are simple to make. I place cooked scrambled eggs with added chopped peppers and onions in a tortilla shell, roll up, wrap and place in the freezer!

Breakfast Burrito

Ingredients

• Simply potatoes (Southwestern style, if you want a bit of spice - available in the dairy section near the eggs)

Directions

Take taco shells out of fridge and bring to room temperature. Fry potatoes according to directions. Turn heat down to medium. Pour in eggs and scramble with the potatoes.

That's all folks!

Build Your Own Breakfast Burritos

Here is a list of my favorite ingredients which changes depending on the mood of the day and/or what's in the fridge or pantry.

Ingredients

• Flour tortillas, size of your choice
• Hash browns, shredded and kept warm
• Scrambled eggs, kept warm
• Refried beans, kept warm
• Tomatoes, diced
• Cheddar cheese, shredded
• Ham, diced
• Green chilies, diced
• Bell peppers, diced
• Sour cream
• Salsa

Directions

Evenly spread/place ingredients of choice along the center of each tortilla.

Slightly fold over opposite ends of tortilla and then wrap the other two sides over one another. If the final fold pops up, a bit of water spread between the final folds usually helps or use a toothpick.

Now is where you choose to eat "as is" or if you want to heat for a short time in the microwave, heat in a slightly oiled skillet or heat on a grill. Each choice gives a subtle flavor change and is fun to experiment with. :-)
