Steer clear of hunger without hitting the brakes—simply zap one of these frozen morning morsels in the microwave. This is my family's favorite combination, but try replacing the bacon with cooked breakfast sausage. —Audra Niederman, Aberdeen, South Dakota

Ingredients

  • 12 bacon strips, diced

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 10 flour tortillas (8 inches)
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

These where OK nothing to much I just did not think they were a bid deal.

Well, i wanted to wait for the burrito to freeze so that i could thaw it to be able to fully write a review.

I made these with wheat tortillas and turkey bacon instead and they came out great. I would recommend making these with egg whites for a much healthier dish for those looking for one.

After freezing, i cooked these in my microwave (which is 900w) exactly to instructions but didnt notice the user used a 1100w. Oops. Anyways, it was still frozen. I cut the burrito in half and cooked for 30 seconds longer, full power. Still a bit frozen so I lowered the power and tried just a few seconds longer. Came out great. I love this recipe because i never thought of making breakfast burritos for freezing and using later! Thanks for informing me :)

For other 900w people, i would recommend maybe 70% power? Just experiment. You'll get it.

I made freezer food for members of my church for about 2years, when I lived in Calgary,& this is one of the food items most would have me make over & over again. When I asked them why they said that is was because they didn't have to make breakfast for their kids going on the bus, they just popped these in the oven on low to warm them up & they are ready to go. (plus their kids loved them.) I also did them for a big church function & had to make 24 doz. These went over like hot cakes!! I don't put in green onions, because some don't like them. But I do put salsa & sour cream on the side.

Very easy with ingredients I always have on hand! Haven't done the freezing thing yet-they eat them before I can freeze them!

I know it won't be the same, but I will use salsa instead of bacon grease to cut some of the fat and calories.
