Breakfast Burritoes FREEZABLE!!!!





SOOO EASY...SOOO GOOD, great for mornings on the go...or to have in the freezer to zap up for guests! I got the idea from allrecipes.com...and then switched it up a bit...

Ingredients (you can pretty much use anything breakfasty so play around and find your fav combo)In these bad boys I used eggs, bacon, sausage, Monterrey Jack Cheese, Black Beans and Costco Organic Salsa...(P.S. I bake my bacon on foil covered cookie sheets @ 400 degrees for 20+ minutes until it is crispy and then drain the fat on paper towels).

* 12 eggs, beaten w/ added cold water and scrambled
* 1 lb bulk sausage, cooked (or crumbled links)
* chunky salsa (your choice of heat)
* 2 cups Monterrey jack shredded
* 24 flour tortillas (you can also use whole wheat)

Optional Ingredients
* bacon cooked and crumbled

* 1-2 garlic cloves, finely minced (optional)
* 1 onion, finely diced (optional)
