Notes
You can easily add a variety of ingredients to these burritos. Some ideas include: sausage, chicken, bacon, spinach, red onion, black beans, corn and diced tomatoes. To freeze them, let the breakfast burritos cool completely. Wrap each burrito in aluminum foil, making sure they are completely covered. Put all the burritos in a large Ziplock bag in the freezer. They should hold up for 3 months in the freezer. When you are ready to eat one pull it out and remove it from the foil. Wrap the burrito in a paper towel and put it on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until warmed through.
