Breakfast burritos are a whole food group to us Californians. It’s just a way of life! I mean, I was a pretty good girl at school but even I managed to wander off campus once or twice to walk to the local greasy cafe to have a delicious breakfast burrito (sorry Mom!). Then, when I went to college in San Diego I discovered the true passion that people carry for this rolled breakfast delicacy. There are restaurants that claim to have invented the breakfast burrito, the world famous California burrito and most other burritos are usually under contention as to their origins. The reason we enjoy eating these creations at little greasy cafes and restaurants is because they will make them for you quickly and well, with your rumbling belly soon to be subsided. But the one thing that no burrito connoisseur will deny is that they are time consuming to make yourself at home, and like I said at the start of this post, breakfast burritos are a food group. So, what’s a breakfast burrito craving California girl to do? Make Freezer Breakfast Burritos of course!
The first thing you need to do is prepare and cook all your ingredients so they have time to cool completely before rolling. This is so once you’ve rolled your burritos there is no excess steam inside, which makes a soggy burrito once microwaved! You’ll need:
Cooked, diced potatoes. You could also use hash browns!
Crispy smoked bacon lardons. You could also just cook up some crispy bacon and crumble it.
Sautéed onion. I used a mix of red and white onions.Fresh washed and dried spinach leaves.
