Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients:
10 – 10 inch whole wheat tortillas
12 eggs
1 cup of milk
1 t. Dijon mustard
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 cup sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
1 ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
3 T. extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Saute bell peppers and onions until slightly soft. Whisk eggs, milk, mustard and salt & pepper in a large bowl. Pour egg mixture into the heated pan and mix eggs, onions and peppers. Add sausage or bacon and continue stirring until the eggs begin to set and become firm. Remove from heat. If the tortillas are hard or dry, wrap them in a wet paper towel and warm them in the microwave for 20 seconds. Lay each tortilla out onto a clean surface. Scoop approximately ¾ c. of the egg mixture onto a tortilla in a straight line, just left of center. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold the top and the bottom of the tortilla over the egg mixture. Then, starting from the left side, begin to roll the tortilla into a burrito. Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap. When all of the burritos have been wrapped, place them into a plastic zipper bag and freeze. To reheat, unwrap the burrito from the plastic wrap and wrap it with a paper towel. Microwave the burrito on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave. Allow to cool for a few minutes and enjoy!
Tips:
· Write the re-heating instructions on the outside of the plastic zipper bag. Even the groggiest of teenagers will be able to handle breakfast on their own with this dish.
· Vary the ingredients based on your family’s preferences. Try adding different cheeses or veggies or leave out the meat. Get creative! Be sure to write the description on the plastic wrap of each burrito so that no one gets an unwelcome surprise.
