My boys love cold cereal. I am not a fan. I can eat it, but I don’t really enjoy it. And I really don’t care for cooked cereal either. It’s a texture thing.
I try to keep the freezer stocked with muffins. Or I just have toast and fruit. But on the weekends, I like to make nice hot breakfasts. If they get to choose, every one of my boys picks Swedish pancakes. I love them too, but I like to have a little variety every once in awhile.
A few weeks ago I found this recipe for breakfast burritos and gave it a try. We all loved them and they disappeared in a flash. My hubbie and I liked them with salsa, but the younger boys just ate them plain. Either way they are delicious! I wanted to freeze some, but there were none left. And no one even mentioned that they missed the Swedish pancakes. 🙂
I used half a pound of sausage, but feel free to add more if you have big meat eaters at your house. You can also leave out or substitute any of the vegetables according to your family’s tastes. Enjoy!!

- 12 large eggs

- 1/2 tsp pepper, divided
- 24 12" flour tortillas
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (about 4 cups)

Notes
-These breakfast burritos can be frozen. Let cool, wrap individually, and store in a ziplock bag.
To reheat, either wrap with a paper towel and heat in the microwave for a couple minutes, or wrap in foil, thaw, and bake at 350 for about 10-15 minutes.
