Breakfast Burritos

Derrick has recently gotten a new job that is basically is about 60 hours a week. In the past he would be happy with just a pack of crackers or something light for lunch to get him through until dinner. With much longer days a pack of crackers just doesn't cut it anymore. I hated the thought of all the extra expense with just needing him to pack something for lunch. So, I got a little creative.
These are breakfast burritos that I made in bulk and froze. You can customize these with whatever you like. I put chopped potatoes, sausage, egg and cheese in these.
I was feeling lazy and used bought tortillas instead of making them from scratch. If you have enough ambition to make your own you can save even more money. I didn't have time to drive to Sam's club so I ended up buying most of the items needed from Weis Markets. Buying at a place like Sam's or other box stores would be more cost effective.
Here is the breakdown of the costs.
Tortillas: $1.65/pack X2
Eggs: $2.50/dozen
Sausage: $3.20/pound X2
Potatoes: .50 (I only used about 6 so this is a guess)
Cheese: $3.00/pound
Total Costs: $15.70
I got a total of 16 at a cost of $.98 a piece.
I used the big tortilla size and filled these as full as I could. If these would be for kids you can use the smaller size tortillas or just not fill these as full and then you would get more for your money.

I started out by frying the chopped potatoes in one pan and the 2 pounds of sausage in another. After both are cooked combine them and add in 12 eggs and some shredded cheese. Make sure the eggs are cooked. I have a very large 15" cast iron pan that I did this in, but the next time I do this I think I will do this in 2 smaller pans so it would be easier to get the eggs cooked. Add in some cheese and anything else you would want. I added some salsa in with everything. 

Let the mixture cool a little. If it is to hot you will get the tortillas to warm and they will rip on you. Make sure your tortillas are warmed slightly or at least room temperature. If they are cold they will break when you roll them.
Spoon however much you want in the tortillas and add some cheese on top. I put a spoon of salsa on the mixture before I rolled them.

When rolling them, I found that if you roll the sides in and then start rolling from the end it helps to keep everything in. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in a baggie and freeze.
They are so nice to have on hand.
