Breakfast is one of my favorite meals . . . of course I'd really like to indulge in some French toast, drizzled w/ warm maple syrup OR a fluffy waffle, topped w/ fresh strawberries & whipped cream! But, I've really been trying to cut back on our family's sugar intake, so I've opted for some better options. Keep in mind that this recipe can be customized to your personal taste. This is just a basic recipe for you to go by.
Sausage Breakfast Burritos
Makes 10-12
10-12 Flour Tortillas, softened (any size)
1# Ground sausage
1Medium onion, chopped
1 Medium bell pepper, chopped
1 Dz eggs, scrambled
8-12 oz Shredded cheese
Salsa
Sour cream
Salt & Pepper to taste
Combine sausage, onions, and peppers, cooking, until sausage is no longer pink; drain. In a separate pan, scramble the eggs, adding salt and pepper to taste. Combine the sausage and eggs. Place approximately 1/2 cup of sausage/egg mixture in the middle of a tortilla, top w/ 2-3 Tbs of cheese. Fold ends of tortilla in, and proceed to roll tortilla up. These are great served immediately, or can also be prepared ahead of time, wrapped in foil, chilled, and served as needed. Just simply reheat in microwave (remove foil) or oven (leave in foil) until warm. Serve w/ your choice of condiments. We love salsa and sour cream w/ ours.
Substitution ideas:
Ground Turkey Sausage
Ham, cooked and diced
Cooked Bacon, crumbled
Chopped Fresh Spinach (add at cheese step)
Pepper Cheese
Feta Cheese
Jalapenos
Fresh Dill, Cilantro, Parsley
Mushrooms (add to meat to cook, and flavor)
Egg whites
Olives
Tomatoes
The possibilities are endless here. There is something for everyone - unless you don't like eggs! Serve these w/ some fresh fruit, and you have your family's breakfast all ready.

Hey Crystal! Loving the new blog! :) Max's favorite food is breakfast burritos (beedos). :) I wonder if these would freeze? I could make up a big batch and use them as needed, but it would take him awhile to plow through that many.
These can definatley be frozen! Wrap them individually, and place them in a ziploc freezer bag. Just pull one out the night prior to eating, & let it thaw in the fridge. Warm and eat! I love to stock my freezer w/ foods that I can prepare in big batches, ie cookie & pizza dough, waffles, pancakes, biscuits, chopped veggies, soup, etc. The possibilities are endless!
