Breakfast Burritos

School will start soon.  That means I can't be slacking on breakfast.  I do my best to have some prepared foods in the freezer ready to go on those mornings that I don't have a good, nutritious plan.  I've been stocking the freezer with breakfast burritos because I want something easy that has a protein boost. 

 

There are so many options.  The basics are egg and potato.  To that I either add sausage and sweet potato or ham and cheese.

 I made plain scrambled eggs.  I just add a splash of milk to the eggs and whip them up.  I diced up the sweet potato.  I should have cooked it separately from the diced hash browns, but I didn't.  I fried up the sausage.  The ham and cheese I got at the deli.

 I plan on 1 egg per burrito.

 The cheese is really the glue to hold it all together.

 

 I wrap them in foil.

 Trey labeled them and then we put them in the freezer.

Any left over ingredients become their own special combination burrito.

We have 24+ burritos ready to go!

 

I generally take 2 burritos out of the freezer and put them in the refrigerator the night before.  In the morning I put them in the oven until the oven says that it is preheated.  I unwrap them and cut them in two.  If they are still cold in the middle I pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.  It sounds like a quirky routine and it is, but that is what I've found to be the fastest and prevents them from being soggy.  The kids each eat 1/2 of a burrito and fruit for breakfast.  The sweet potato/sausage combo is new for us this year.  Trey taste tested it and said it was really good!
