YOU CAN MAKE WARM, YUMMY MORNING BURRITOS IN A FLASH!
I really love ‘eggy cheesy’ burritos on chilly wintry mornings. You can make a batch when you have time such as on the weekend, and just pop them in the freezer. Defrost the amount of burritos you’ll need the next morning by placing them in the fridge the night before.
In the morning, it’s so quick to heat the thawed burritos in the microwave for about 1 minute each (the exact time depends on your microwave) and serve them up with plain yogurt for dipping and a glass of orange juice on the side. (For a conventional oven, try 325F for approximately 15 minutes.) Let the burritos cool for a few minutes before eating.
EASY CHEESY BREAKFAST BURRITOS IN 2 SIMPLE STEPS:
1. For basic morning burritos, all you need is tortilla flat breads (preferably whole wheat), scrambled eggs, grated cheese and a little leftover, cooked mixed veggies. You could also add baked or refried beans, cooked brown rice, cooked sausage, fried bacon or cooked chicken. Mild tomato sauce or very mild salsa could be used, but the burritos are less messy without it if you want to eat them on the run.
2. If you’ve never folded a burrito before, don’t be intimidated. It’s easy to figure out with a little experimenting. Place 2 or 3 spoonfuls of filling items, followed by a generous amount of grated cheese, in a stripe in the middle of a heated tortilla. (Heat tortillas in a paper towel covered stack in the microwave for a few seconds or until warm or place on a cookie sheet in a conventional oven for about 5 minutes at 350F.) Make sure the filling doesn’t reach the edges. Fold one longer side in towards the middle, then a shorter side and repeat.
Heat in the microwave (approximately 1 minute on high) or conventional oven (about 15 minutes at 325F) and enjoy!
