• Cut 10 squares of aluminum foil slightly larger than the tortillas. Lay 1 tortilla on each square; evenly distribute Cheddar cheese on top. Add eggs, bacon, salsa, and potatoes to each tortilla, in that order. Tightly roll the burritos, tucking tops and bottoms in first.
• Wrap aluminum foil tightly around each burrito, covering it completely. Place in resealable plastic bags in a single layer. Remove as much air as possible from the bags before sealing. Store in the freezer until ready to reheat.
• Reheat by removing the aluminum foil, placing the burrito on a microwave-safe plate, and topping it with a paper towel. Heat in the microwave until evenly warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

EASY MONEY BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place the pork sausage and onion into a skillet over medium heat, and cook until the sausage is browned, about 10 minutes. Break the meat apart into crumbles as it cooks. Drain the excess grease.
• In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until the foam subsides, and cook and stir the beaten eggs with the chilies until softly scrambled but not wet, about 3 minutes. Transfer the scrambled eggs into a large bowl, and stir in the cooked sausage mixture.
• Place a tortilla onto a microwave-safe plate, and cook in the microwave on High setting for 10 to 20 seconds. The tortilla should be warm and pliable. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the sausage and egg mixture in a line down the the tortilla, slightly off center. Top with about 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese, and 1 tablespoon of salsa. Fold 2 opposite ends of the tortilla over the filling. Press the 2 ends down so they stay folded. Carefully roll the shorter unfolded edge over the burrito, pushing the filling to the back of the roll as you go, to snugly enclose the filling. Keep the 2 ends folded as you roll. Wrap in foil if desired. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.

EASY BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Brown sausage and potato in separate pans until done. Scramble eggs and chiles together and cook until done. Mix potatoes, eggs, and sausage together in one bowl. Place 1-2 spoonfuls of mixture in a tortilla and top with shredded cheese. Fold burrito shut, package, and freeze. To serve: Heat the burrito in a microwave for 1-2 minutes, and enjoy!
• Note: I really recommend the Farmland Bacon and Pork sausage because my family likes the smoky bacon flavor. If you can't find it, you could add some chopped cooked bacon to the meat/potato/egg mixture before wrapping the burrito. You can be creative with this recipe. Sometimes I add onion, or hot chiles, crushed red pepper, or hot sauce.
