We usually have breakfast for dinner... or brinner... at least once a month. It's an easy dinner and takes little time. I always try to make extras so I can pack up some delicious breakfast burritos for the future.
So for dinner I usually scramble and entire dozen or more of eggs. I pour an entire pack of hashbrowns in the skillet for crisping. I cook up an entire pound of bacon (and if I run out of room, I throw them in the oven), and I make 25-30 pancakes.
Once you eat all the food you want for dinner... which can be a lot :), gather all the leftovers to start to assemble your burritos. They are an easy breakfast on the go that you can freeze and enjoy for a long time.
I usually stuff our burritos with the eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, some cheddar cheese, and sometimes salsa. You really could put whatever else in there you like that microwaves well. Although, I would stay away from whole veggies or things that don't freeze well.
I layer the tortillas with all the goods, fold them up, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Once they are tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, you can throw them in a gallon ziploc bag for freezing. When you are ready to eat them, pull one out and microwave. I usually defrost mine in the microwave for 5 minutes and then heat for 1.5 minutes. You could also thaw the burrito while you are getting ready or the night before and then microwave for a minute or so.
This time I even had leftover potatoes from dinner the night before that I stuffed in the burrito! Pretty yummy. Make sure to add lots of cheese... that really makes it good.
And those 30 pancakes I made? We ate about 5 of them between the two of us and I put the rest in a ziploc freezer bag. Pancakes freeze nicely. You can pull out 1 or 20 and microwave them for an easy breakfast as well.
Or if you want to get fancy, grab two pancakes and put some eggs and bacon between it... homemade Mcgriddle? I think so.
Easy and delicious!
