Breakfast Burrito's

Hey guys!

Cannot even contain my excitement for tonight's dish. Your blog mistress is a huge fan of the not the usual breakfast meals. 

While I greatly do enjoy pancakes and sure I'll eat cereal I am all about things like grits, strawberries in sugar, mexican omelete, 

or my absolute fave breakfast burrito's. 

Ah the delish dish of tortilla and scrambled eggs mixed with salsa and cheese is the best! Mouth watering yet? Thought so :)

So let's get this going shall we? 

Here's what you'll need: 

Breakfast Burrito's

Prep/Total Time: 30 min. Yield: 12 

Ingredients:

*1 pound bulk pork sausage

*1-1/2 cups frozen cubed hash brown potatoes

*1/4 cup diced onion

*1/4 cup diced green or red pepper

*4 eggs, lightly beaten

*12 flour tortillas (8 inches), warmed

*1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

*Picante sauce and sour cream, optional

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. 

Add the potatoes, onion and pepper; cook and stir for 6-8 minutes or until tender. 

Add eggs; cook and stir until set.

2. Spoon filling off center on each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold sides and ends over 

filling and roll up. Serve with picante sauce and sour cream if desired.

3. To freeze and reheat burritos: Wrap each burrito in waxed paper and foil. 

Freeze for up to 1 month. To use, remove foil and waxed paper. 

Place one burrito on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 2 to 2-1/4 minutes 

or until a meat thermometer reads 165°, turning burrito over once. Let stand for 20 seconds. 

Yield: 12 burritos.

WW points: *3 points per serving

These were pretty good. I felt it was lacking in the spice department and tasted bland but other than that these were okie in my book.

Tid Bits:

*Not a fan of beef or pork? Try meat Substitutes such as Morning Star crumbles

*For a shortcut use a frozen bag of three pepper and onion blend.

*Instead of using real eggs try egg beaters.

*Also feel free to use any kind of cheese you'd like.

Ma's Spot: I do not like McDonalds Breakfast Burittos. First off they're loaded with pure junk.  

These I loved, they were quick and easy. The one thing I love about this the most is that they're 

perfect for freezing. So I plan on making more of these and that way you have a good and 

healthy breakfast to go to in a pinch. If you're like me and you're scrambling around the house 

in the morning trying to head out the door to work these are a great option to have for breakfast. 

SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery 

store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which 

are not. Let's get to this week's pick:

WWPoints: *4 points for 6 pieces

Dinah: So love is in the air cause of that little fella in the diaper by the name of cupid. 

So we're showcasing the latest limited edition Tootsie Rolls. The Valentine's Day vanilla 

and cherry Tootsie Rolls are a nice blend of fruit and vanilla. The cherry ones are on the 

tart side but when is that ever a bad thing? The vanilla ones are smooth and delish. 

I'd say they're worth trying out. So grab some and feel the love!

Ma: First of all lets get this straight I am a Tootsie Roll-aholic. The fact that they have come 

out with different flavors, somebody has read my mind. Which isn't easy cause it's scary 

in there lol. My favorite is the vanilla. There isn't a better tasting Tootsie Roll than the vanilla. 

Don't believe me? just try them!

I found the cherry one to be a bit too sour. So if I get this again I'll keep the vanilla ones for 

myself and give the cherry ones away.

Alrighty guys that's all for tonight. We'll see you here next Tuesday for more food goodness. Have a great week guys!
