Breakfast burritos.

My brother and his wife just had a baby. She is the most precious baby in all of the land. Trust me. I have since learned from the plethora of friends having babies that the best thing to bring is FOOD. Busy new parents don't have time to cook, so if you do it for them, or make it as easy as just turning on (and the turning off) the oven, they will actually have a chance to put some real food in their bellies.

Of course, armed with this knowledge, I took to the internet. I found several recipes promising to be perfect for freezer. One in particular intrigued me: Breakfast Burrito. I am a HUGE fan of all things breakfast and burrito. Odds are very good that if there is a breakfast burrito on the menu, I am ordering it. It's just my style. Even McDonald's breakfast burritos are pretty tasty to me (and only $1!!!)

In any event, I found this fantastic recipe for breakfast burritos.

I whipped them up one night (among some other items that may or may not be blog-worthy) and having left behind a few to sample (OBVIOUSLY), declare them ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.

Here are some helpful hints:
-1/2 cup might be too much to fill. I was doing less to get a good tight roll.
-It took me a few tries to get the hang of rolling, but once I did, I was on a roll. Ha. See what I did there?
-I used low fat sausage and 2% cheese to cut back on the calories. I'm healthy like that.
-I used the 8 inch flour tortillas. They were perfect and yielded 22 burritos. Not too shabby.
-I didn't let them COMPLETELY freeze before individually wrapping. I left them in the freezer for an hour and a half or so. I think it worked fine.
-Don't forget to write reheating directions on the package if you are gifting the burritos so your pals know exactly how to make them taste best.

Enjoy!

The guts of the burrito. OHSOGOOD.
