Freezable Breakfast Burritos

Christine asked me to post this one, so here it is! These are so delicious and although the prep takes a little while they are completely worth it not only for the taste but for the time they save in the morning. Paul loves them.. definitely earned me a gold star for wife duties and some extra sleep time in bed for me! Enjoy!


Freezable Breakfast Burritos
**makes about 16 medium-sized burritos

1 lb. breakfast sausage, or bacon (or both)
1 c chopped ham
2 lbs. red potatoes, cubed into bite size pieces
16 oz cheese (any kind you like)
24 soft tortillas
12 eggs
1/2 c milk
1/3 c olive oil
1 t  Seasoning Salt
salt and pepper

-Cook bacon and/or brown the sausage. Fry up the ham.
-To make Roasted Red Potatoes: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Dry cubed potatoes with a towel to eliminate any extra water. Toss the potatoes with 1/3 c olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper.  Use additional seasoning if desired. Roast for 30 minutes until golden brown.  Start checking at 20 minutes.  
-Make the scrambled eggs using all 12 eggs and season with salt and pepper.
-Place 5-10 tortillas on a plate. Cover with a wet paper towel. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power. Heat the tortillas in batches.
-Set up an assembly line with all the ingredients. Build your burritos: cheese/eggs/potatoes/meat
-Fold in the sides of the tortilla. Roll burrito up tightly. Pat firmly on top of the burrito making sure the seam is on the bottom.
-To freeze these burritos: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place burritos on the sheet, seam side down. Press down on the burritos again lightly making sure that the edges are tucked in. Place baking sheet in the freezer for an hour to flash freeze the burritos. Remove from freezer and wrap burritos in plastic wrap individually. Place in a ziploc bag.
-To heat the burritos: Remove plastic wrap. Wrap burrito in wet paper towel. Heat for 3 minutes on 50% power.
-Serve with fresh salsa
