Great for that run in the morning breakfast. You can also take frozen burritos with you when going camping. Just place the bag of frozen burritos into the ice chest, and by the time you're ready for breakfast the first morning, the burritos are fully thawed. Then simply reheat them in a large skillet over the campstove or fire grate.

This is actually really good. However, I did not follow the measurements to the core. For breakfast, I had one tortilla with 1 egg (not 1/2 of an egg), scrambled, with 2 oz. of sausage, chopped up, after the eggs were scrambled I cooked the sausage with the eggs on a nonstick pan. After the sausage was cooked, I added 1 tablespoon of salsa. In another pan, I warmed up the tortilla. Finally, I took the tortilla off the stove, poured the scrambled sausage and egg mixture on the tortilla and topped it with cheese; finally, I closed the tortilla from all four sides and warmed it on the pan again for the cheese to melt. I had it with a cup of orange juice and I really enjoyed it.

    Wow - I can't believe I never left a review! This was one of the first recipes I made on Zaar. I have since made breakfast burritos many times! This is so convenient to have in the freezer for all those busy mornings & commutes here in NYC. A true OAMC recipe! Plus, it's really easy once you get a system for wrapping your burritos down. I make half of the batch with bacon & the other half with sausage. With my eggs I use whole wheat tortillas, green chilis, scallions, cheese, & hash browns. You could make all sorts of versions! I have a chorizo & mozzarella version I'd still like to make someday. Thanks for posting!

    I love the versatility these things have. I found I could do all the cooking in one pan: cook sausage, remove. Cook peppers and mushrooms, remove. Warm hashbrowns, remove (this is all going into one large bowl) and finally, scramble eggs, add everything back in as well as cheese, salsa, etc. I forgot the cheese and the salse, but opened one back up and tried it with salsa. Yummy stuff. I had one for breakfast this morning and the sheer convenience of "remove from plastic wrap, nuke" made the little effort very worthwhile. I used the smaller tortillas accidentally. I made a half recipe, and I think I added too many hashbrowns, so I added an extra 3 eggs. It came out to be 23 burritoes plus about 2 burritoes' worth of filling I ran out of tortillas for. I will definitely be making these many times in the future! Next time I will remember the salsa and cheese, use fewer hashbrowns, and use the larger tortilla size for a greater filling-tortilla ratio. Update: I made these again the other day, sauteeing mushrooms and peppers until golden then adding hashbrowns that were still frozen. Adding them frozen deglazed the pan a little and got them nice and gold in the process. In a seperate pan I crisped bacon, removed to drain, and then scrambled eggs in the bacon pan. I used wrap size tortillas this time and a slightly heaping 1/2 cup of filling went into each of 12 burritoes. I added cheese to each as I wrapped them first in plastic wrap and stored them in the freezer in heavy gallon bags. I can't tell you how much of a life saver these have been for breakfast. I'm hypoglycemic, so having something with protein that I can have ready in 2 minutes can literally make all the difference in my day. I'm making another batch today with sausage (low fat kind), red pepper, eggs, hashbrowns, and mozzarella cheese. I'd also like to try this with chopped tomatos and guac. Sorry for the dreadfully long review!

    I can not believe I haven't reviewed this recipe until now. This is pretty standard in our house. I love having these in the freezer for a quick grab and go breakfast. There are so many variations that the possibilities are endless. This morning’s version consisted of a mixture of homemade chorizo and a low-fat turkey/pork sausage. The sausage was cooked first with just enough fat cooked off to cook 2 small to medium shredded potatoes. Once the sausage was about ready, the potatoes were put into the pan and cooked while the sausage finished. The salsa was poured in at the end of cooking the sausage/potato mixture and some of the liquid was allowed to cook off. I then poured in 3 cups of egg substitute and allowed them to cook, stirring as they set. Finally, the grated cheese was added and stirred gently into the mixture. I would highly recommend planning ahead when selecting a pan. My 5 quart French oven worked quite well and the cast iron allowed for good even heat distribution while cooking. The tortillas were zapped 2 at a time for 30 seconds and the assembly was completed very quickly. After chilling for about an hour, the burritos have been wrapped in individual food serve foil sheets and placed in a ziplock bag and into the freezer they went for breakfast on the go.
