BREAKFAST BURRITOS (or "Eggs McDeb")
By Deb Vaughn
No one said I was a purist. These are great to make in large batches and freeze for a quick meal on the go. To be honest, this recipe just kinda "happens" and will vary greatly according to what we have on hand. A great way to use up leftover turkey!
- 12 flour tortillas
- 6 eggs, beaten
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 bell pepper, seeded, cored and finely chopped
- 6 potatoes, peeled, and chopped into 1/4 inch cubes (HINT: use a food processor!)
- optional: browned sausage, bacon, cooked chicken or turkey, shredded cheese, chopped ham
METHOD:
Fry eggs until done in a small amount of butter. Remove from pan into a large bowl. Fry the onion and green pepper and add to bowl. Fry potatoes in butter until they are soft but not mushy and nicely browned. Add everything else to the bowl (meat or cheese) and mix.
Warm tortillas in microwave (about 20 seconds) until they are very flexible and warm. Put about 1/2 cup of egg mixture on each tortilla. Fold up ends and roll burro style.
Freeze on a lightly greased cookie sheet. When frozen, remove from sheet, wrap well and place in a zip-shut bag.
TO SERVE: Microwave about 2 minutes on HIGH (100% power) on a microwave-safe dish. DO NOT overcook or they will be dry and inedible, except to Fido.
