Easy Breakfast Burritos

You know how when you live with someone long enough it seems like you can read their thoughts? This morning my husband was standing in our pantry staring at the many boxes of cereal and I could just tell that maybe it shouldn't be a cereal morning.  When I offered up breakfast burritos he gratefully said, "yes, please!"

These burritos are very common at many fast food restaraunts and you can easily pay a lot of money for them.  I love making them at home because I can make a big batch for breakfast and also make some for the freezer.  On busy mornings it is a snap to pull one out, pop it in the microwave and head out the door with a hot breakfast in hand.  Use whatever fillings your family likes and enjoy a portable hot breakfast!
