My kids love breakfast burritos but to make on a school morning can be time consuming! We need fast simple real food breakfast in our house. So I decided to freeze this house hold favorite! Here we go!
Diced those potatoes and onions in fairly small pieces. This helps them to cook faster. Preheat a large skillet on medium and add breakfast sausage, breakup and cook. Once almost cooked add the onions and potatoes. Cook till potatoes are slightly tender.
It will look a bit like the above when ready to add the eggs. A tip to help speed the cooking time. Cover the pan once the potatoes are in. This will use steam to help with the cooking process
Once the potatoes are cooked, whisk the eggs and add to mixture. Cook till the eggs are cooked but still glossy not wet but shiny! This will help the eggs to stay moist and not dry out! Now that the mix is done it is time to assemble.
Here is the SET UP. Bottom layer is foil, next is parchment paper then the Whole Wheat Tortilla.
1/3 cup Egg mixture then 1/8 cup of shredded cheese.
Time to wrap!! Fold in the sides.
You will take the bottom edge of the wrap and pull up and tuck it in. Making sure to tuck in all the ingredients. then folding over to finish the wrap.
Next step is to wrap in parchment paper. Same way you wrapped the tortilla. You will do the same with the next layer of foil.
This is the finished product! I used larger tortillas and smaller ones as well. It made 10 total!!! Put this puppies in a freezer bag, toss in freezer and pull out the night before to thaw. The next morning you can use a toaster oven to reheat or the good ole oven as well.
