Ultimate Breakfast Burrito

October 18, 2015 by Matt Robinson 24 Comments

Let’s go big today with this Ultimate Breakfast Burrito. Admittedly, I over-stuffed mine and the burrito you see in the picture below came in at over 1 1/4 pounds, probably enough to serve two.

In fact, I stuffed mine so much that the tortilla started to tear as I was rolling it. But that just gave me a good excuse to put on an egg on it.

As for the rest of the family, they scooped their’s into a bowl—okay, breakfast bowls are good too. However you decide to plate this, make it! But if you make burritos, you can wrap it in parchment paper and foil, then freeze them for a make-ahead breakfast that can be reheated in the microwave—gotta love that!

    Living in a house full of boys, I’m sure this would go over VERY well! And I love the idea of making ahead and freezing. Great idea for teenagers who get up early to head off to school.

    1 1/4 pounds – hilarious! Anything really with a egg on top is stellar. That slow cooker beef sounds excellent. Way to go on this bad boy.
