Breakfast Burritos

[4skers89]

Brown sausage in a frying pan. I'm constantly breaking up the sausage to keep it from staying in big chunks using a spatula like this

Add 10 - 15 large eggs. Mix them with sausage, breaking up the yolks. I usually let cook for 15-20 seconds and then stir/mix up so that the uncooked eggs are on the bottom. While cooking you can add some powdered red pepper for extra kick.

Add 8 - 16 oz of shredded cheese. Stir in until melted. I think I've used almost a full 16 oz of cheese but 8 oz is probably enough.

Scoop into flour tortilla and roll into burrito. I believe the size I use (brand shown above) is about 10" diameter.

Makes about 8 burritios. I refrigerate and microwave one each morning. Seem to keep OK for 5-6 day.

I like the simplicity of them and how fast I can make them. I suppose onions or green peppers could be added but I like the taste as is and haven't gotten tired of them.

I make breakfast burritos for tailgating before early kick-offs. My recipe is similar but I use chorizo for the meat and do it on my portable grill. I go to a Goodwill/2nd hand store and buy a couple of cheap pans to use over the hot coals and then discard after use.

Where do you get the chorizo? I guess I haven't shopped for it before.

I get my chorizo at our Kroger store (Dillon's in Topeka) in the meat dept. It is tube wrapped in 1# logs and is always available in sausage but I've grown to like the beef better (less fat) and better tasting according to my guests when it is available. I used to buy it at Walmart and it was a little less cost, made from sausage, but it was way too greasy.

Nothing quite like lymph nodes, salivary glands, and fat.

I make these every Sunday for breakfast during the week. Like D'Leon's, I used to put a steamed/baked/microwaved or sauteed potato in them, but after a while I just did cheese, breakfast sausage, egg and sauteed onion & poblano.

Takes maybe 30 minutes start-to-finish, and you have a decent, cheap breakfast for the week.

And I don't use velveeta. I can't afford velveeta anymore. That stuff isn't even cheese and it's nearly $6 a brick!
