Recipe #10 Easy, Storable Breakfast Burritos

It can be a stressful time each morning getting ready for school; getting up, cleaning yourself up, finishing that english paper you should have finished last night, and breakfast. While I cannot finish your english homework, I can help you make breakfast as easy pie. Or in this case burrito. This recipe is quite dandy because in under an hour, you can easily make a couple weeks worth of breakfast! Imagine not needing to cook breakfast for 3 weeks! Additionally, these burritos can heated up in your microwave for a quick and easy meal without having to splurge 15 dollars for 4 breakfast bowls from the local supermarket. Enjoy! 



(Prep Time: 10-15 minutes   Cook Time: 30-40 minutes   Serves: 20-25 burritos [depending on size] )

Ingredients: (might seem like a lot!)
  • 8 slices of Bologna (8 oz)
  • 1 Lb of Bacon
  • 1 Can of Spam (12 oz)
  • 1 Lb of Chorizo
  • 30-36 eggs
  • 24 Tortillas
Tools:
  • 1-6 large pans or Skillets (depends on whether you make all kinds of burritos or just one kind)
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Small bowl for whisking
  • Fork or whisk for eggs
  • Small butcher knife
  • Steak Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Lots of napkins or paper towels
Directions:
-Potatoes:
  1. Slice up about 2 potatoes on a small cutting board and place on well-oiled and hot skillet

  3. Flip the slices after they have begun to brown and cook the other side
  4. Set aside for use in the burritos

  1. Crack and scramble about 6-8 eggs with appropriate seasoning (go crazy)
  2. Brings a large pan or skillet to medium heat and squeeze chorizo into pan
  3.  Stir with a wooden spoon until the chorizo has begun to brown and sizzle
  4. Pour your egg mix and potatoes onto the chorizo and stir around
  5. To more evenly cook, smash the mix up with the spoon while mixing
  6. Once the egg and chorizo has cooked, turn off the heat and move the mix to a large plate
  7. Dab the chorizo-egg-potato mix with paper towels (you know which dab i'm referring to hopefully) and divide into even parts 
  8. Warm up some tortillas over a hot flame (use a pair of tongs if you are a beginner) and place your breakfast mix onto the tortilla
  9. Roll up in a tortilla, roll  the burrito in a napkin or paper towel and store/eat!

-Bacon Burritos
  1. Bring a skillet to medium-high heat and once heated, layer strips of bacon across the length of the skillet
  2. Using Long Tongs, flip the bacon every couple minutes until desired crispiness has been reached (warning: Hot Grease warning)
  3. Lay the bacon on a plate covered in napkins to absorb the grease away
  4. Cook eggs and potatoes in a large frying pan and lay on a separate plate
  5. Repeat steps 8 and 9 under Chorizo Burritos

-Spam Burritos
  1. Open a can of spam on a cutting board and cube it. Season and move to a hot skillet
  2. Fry up until the spam has begun to change from pink to dark red and the consistency has solidified throughout
  3. Repeat steps 4-9 of Chorizo Burritos

Tips:
-don't try to make too many burritos at a time unless you have lots of time! While the skillet can be reused over and over again with a simple rinse, pans will pile up and require constant cleaning
-Skillets usually wok better than pans for these recipes because they already come non-stick without the oily taste of cooking oil or butter
-Cheese can always be added to increase the weight of each burrito!

Reheating and Storage
-To store, wrap each burrito up in napkins or paper towels and store 5-6 burritos cooled in air-tight baggies 
Each bag of burritos can be stored up to a month in advance for eating
To reheat, simply microwave both side for about 30 seconds each and serve warm. Be careful, they will be hot!!!
