Breakfast Burritos

Makes: 24 breakfast burritos

Ingredients:
12 to 16 eggs, beaten
1 lb ground sausage, cooked (or crumbled links)
1/2 cup chunky salsa
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
24 large flour tortillas

Extras (optional):
1 green pepper, finely diced
6 potatoes, shredded and fried
jalapeno, sliced or diced
1 can chopped green chilies
1-2 clove garlic, finely minced
1 onion, finely diced
1 tomato, peeled and chopped
2 green onions, sliced with tops

Directions:
1. Scramble eggs in large skillet until cooked. Stir in cooked sausage. Add any of the extras you choose. Save the salsa and shredded cheese.
2. Wrap the Tortillas in a damp paper towel and warm in the microwave until they are warm (about 1 minute).
3. 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.

Yum! I always order these for breakfast at McDonald's. I think it's fun to have breakfast meals for something different. I may not even share these with Kevin. =)
