EASY MONEY BREAKFAST BURRITOS



Easy Money Breakfast Burritos image

Yummy burritos that are so good that my husband was selling them for a buck apiece at corp school in the Navy. I was making them every night, and we bought a new couch with the money! These freeze really well; just defrost and eat. I also add fresh cooked mushrooms in these on occasion. I do find that these taste better when made ahead of time and eaten at a later time.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound bulk pork sausage
½ small onion, chopped
2 teaspoons butter
12 eggs, beaten
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
¾ cup process cheese food (such as Velveeta®), divided
¾ cup salsa
1 (10 ounce) package burrito-size flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Place the pork sausage and onion into a skillet over medium heat, and cook until the sausage is browned, about 10 minutes. Break the meat apart into crumbles as it cooks. Drain the excess grease.
  • In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until the foam subsides, and cook and stir the beaten eggs with the chilies until softly scrambled but not wet, about 3 minutes. Transfer the scrambled eggs into a large bowl, and stir in the cooked sausage mixture.
  • Place a tortilla onto a microwave-safe plate, and cook in the microwave on High setting for 10 to 20 seconds. The tortilla should be warm and pliable. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the sausage and egg mixture in a line down the the tortilla, slightly off center. Top with about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese, and 1 tablespoon of salsa. Fold 2 opposite ends of the tortilla over the filling. Press the 2 ends down so they stay folded. Carefully roll the shorter unfolded edge over the burrito, pushing the filling to the back of the roll as you go, to snugly enclose the filling. Keep the 2 ends folded as you roll. Wrap in foil if desired. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.

BREAKFAST BURRITO



Breakfast Burrito image

A burrito is a delicious, portable answer to breakfast. All of the elements are snugly wrapped in a tortilla, keeping everything warmer longer when you're taking it to go. Let your littlest chefs help crack and beat the eggs or shred the cheese. When everything is cooked, enlist their help again to assemble and roll up the burritos.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 jalapeno, diced, seeded if desired
1/2 small red onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, reserving some for garnish
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 ounces fresh Mexican-style chorizo, casings removed
1 cup frozen hash browns with peppers and onions, such as Potatoes O'Brien
8 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce
4 large burrito-size tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup finely shredded Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • For the pico de gallo: Combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, onions, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the burritos: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up, until it is slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add the hash browns to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl until frothy. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a couple dashes of hot sauce. Pour the eggs over the hash and cook, stirring, until the eggs are fluffy and just set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Wipe out the skillet and return it to the heat.
  • Warm the tortillas one at a time in the skillet.
  • Build the burrito by layering the avocado, egg mixture, about a tablespoon of pico de gallo and a sprinkle of cheese. Fold in the two sides and roll up tightly. Garnish with the reserved cilantro leaves and serve with additional pico de gallo and hot sauce on the side.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 20 burritos, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 eggs
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
2 lbs bulk sausage (I use Farmland Pork & Bacon Sausage)
1 lb frozen diced potatoes
cheddar cheese, shredded
20 tortillas

Steps:

  • Brown sausage and potato in separate pans until done. Scramble eggs and chiles together and cook until done. Mix potatoes, eggs, and sausage together in one bowl. Place 1-2 spoonfuls of mixture in a tortilla and top with shredded cheese. Fold burrito shut, package, and freeze. To serve: Heat the burrito in a microwave for 1-2 minutes, and enjoy!
  • Note: I really recommend the Farmland Bacon and Pork sausage because my family likes the smoky bacon flavor. If you can't find it, you could add some chopped cooked bacon to the meat/potato/egg mixture before wrapping the burrito. You can be creative with this recipe. Sometimes I add onion, or hot chiles, crushed red pepper, or hot sauce.

1 tbsp olive oil

8 spicy or herby sausages
1 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion , finely chopped
400g can pinto beans , drained and rinsed
400g can cannellini beans , drained and rinsed
