Breakfast Burritos

Every now and then I get a craving for McDonald's Breakfast Burritos. It's a crazy craving for me because I used to work for McDonalds and pretty much think the idea of getting a breakfast burrito from them to be pretty nauseating. So... one night, I decided to make my own breakfast burrito. I think the real key to these ones are to BAKE them. They're amazing when they're a bit crispy rather than soggy. There's a real taste difference!

The recipe I came up with turned out to be the MOST AMAZING breakfast burritos I've ever had. It's true people, homemade trumps store bought every time! Give it a try! Enjoy!

Breakfast Burritos
16 oz Breakfast Sausage
1/2 cup Onion
1/2 cup Green Pepper
1/2 cup Picante Sauce
8 Eggs
1 Cup of Milk
1 1/2-2 cups of Shredded Cheese
12 Tortilla Shells
American Cheese slices (or more shredded cheese)

Preheat the oven to 350*

Brown the Breakfast Sausage. Add the onion and green pepper, cook until they are soft. When it's done cooking, add the sausage mixture, Picante sauce, and half the shredded cheese to a large bowl.

In the same pan that you browned the sausage in, combined the eggs and the milk and stir until you have made scrambled eggs. Make sure that they're done. They'll be a nice, light and fluffy consistency. When done, add the scrambled eggs and remaining shredded cheese to the bowl with the sausage mixture. Mix everything together.

Take a slice of cheese, split it in half and place it in a line on a tortilla. Spoon on the sausage and egg mixture. Fold up the tortilla and place in a pan.

Bake for 5-10 minutes or until the shells are slightly crispy.

** Note: I baked only five burritos for the husband and myself. The rest I didn't bake and I wrapped them up in plastic wrap to put in the freezer.
** If frozen, bake at 350* for 20-30 minutes or until the tortilla is crispy. It's recommended to flip the burrito over halfway through baking.
