Overstuffed Breakfast Burritos

I don't know why we look at something as simple as a breakfast burrito and then decide to skip it and make something "easy" like waffles. I love waffles as much as the next person, but i find the burritos much easier. They are healthy, portable (if they're not too overstuffed!), delicious, and filling.

Here is my recipe for you. It's pretty versatile. This particular one has no meat, but these are awesome with bacon or sausage or ham as well! (Please don't mind all of my photos on paper plates. I was feeling very lazy this morning and didn't want more dishes!)

You Will Need:

1 Dozen Large Eggs
1 Package Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
1 16 oz. Jar of Salsa
8 Burrito Sized Flour Tortillas
1 Package Diced Potatoes with Onions
Salt and Pepper

Directions:

- Place tortillas on a paper plate. Cover with a paper towel. microwave for 30 seconds.
- Set aside.








- In a large skillet, cook the potatoes according to directions on package.

- While those are cooking, crack all of the eggs into a large (non-plastic) mixing bowl.
- Add half of the bag of cheese and about half of the salsa. Also add salt and pepper to taste.








- Place the tortillas onto separate plates and put a pinch of the cheese on each one.








- When everything is cooked, spoon some potatoes and then some eggs on one side of each tortilla.


- Fold in the sides and roll the burrito closed.

- Top with another pinch of the cheese. You can also spoon the rest of the salsa on top.

Enjoy! <3
