Nothing like a delicious breakfast that comes together in less than 10 minutes am I right?
Breakfast burritos are perfect for leftover baked or roasted potatoes or home fries but you can also cook some up quick. You can include any extras like veggies or protein (sausage, ham, bacon). Get creative with the cheese as well! Cheddar is obviously classic but pepper jack, provolone, blue cheese, and goat cheese are AMAZING as well.
This recipe feeds two people or one very hungry person. If you want you can double or triple it for easy to reheat leftovers! These also freeze well and can be reheated in the toaster oven or microwave.
