Breakfast Burritos

Ryan and I both love breakfast food. Whether it is eaten at breakfast time or as brinner, it's one of our top comfort foods. Give us some sausage gravy, biscuits, eggs, and hash-browns and we will be happy people! I was taught how to make these breakfast burritos by a friend when we were in college and they are the perfect food for a morning when you want a hearty breakfast but do not have time to cook.  For this recipe you will need one pound of sausage, one pound of hash-browns, eight tortillas, 4 large eggs, and a cup of cheese.
I multitask while I make these by cooking several things at once.  I fill a pan with a little bit of oil and start frying my hash-browns as I brown the sausage. When the sausage and hash-browns are most of the way cooked, scramble the four eggs. 

 When the sausage is done, drain the grease from it and add the hash-browns and eggs to the sausage. Stir them together to get a nice mixture in the pan.
 After combining them all together, spoon the mixture out into tortillas and sprinkle cheese over it before folding them. Then place folded burritos onto a grill, such as a Foreman to get the tortillas crispy and the cheese melted. 
Once they have cooled a bit, wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in the freezer. When you are ready to eat them, just thaw them out and reheat. They go well with hot sauce or maple syrup on them.
