While driving truck over-the-road, I used to stop in Moriarty, NM. A gentleman (called BURRITO MAN') would come in the truck stop every morning with freshly made (sausage, beef, or potato) "breakfast-burritos", hot and ready to eat. Drivers loved them.

Delicious! We did not use bell pepper or cheese, and used egg substitute (and almost double), along with Mexican chorizo. So yummy!

    We also used Bob Evans hot sausage instead of Chorizo. Honestly, this is one of the best things I've ever tasted. Everyone should give this one a try!

    After having tacos last night I wanted to use up the left over tortillas. Though I didn't have the very large ones, these were more like breakfast tacos then burritos. Nonetheless I really enjoyed them and I used regular sausage since I had no chorizo on hand. I used onions, yukon gold potatoes, and green peppers. I even made a batch without eggs, since I don't eat them. We topped them with some salsa, mexican cheese, and a dollup of sour cream. Thanks for a keeper and congratulationson being chef of the day!
