Breakfast of Champions

Breakfast isn't usually a "thing" in our house. Weekday mornings are spent scrambling for shoes, wallet, keys, etc and dashing out the door in hopes of making it to the office on time. On weekends we are faaar too lazy to think about cooking something first thing in the morning (and doing the dishes?!). 



However, when we do decide breakfast is necessary we make a mean breakfast burrito. After a particularly fun and "spirited" Saturday night, our angry stomachs were telling us that we needed to put something in them, fast, before they started to rebel. Sooooo, breakfast burritos it was!


Breakfast
·                     Breakfast Burrito
·                     Coffee
·                     Loads of Self Pity


Depending on the mood in the house, we have been known to couple these with a Bloody Mary for me (nutrients!) and a Mimosa for Max.

Breakfast Burritos

2 Potatoes
2 Tbs Oil
1/2 Small Onion
2 Eggs
2-4 Flour Tortilla Shells
Shredded Cheese
Salsa
Tin Foil
Anything Else Burrito Worthy in the Fridge

1.                  Start by cutting up the potato into 1 inch chunks. Cut up the onion into bits also (I like them bigger so Max can pick them out).

2.                  Add oil to a fry pan over medium heat, add potatoes and onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until the onions are just about soft, turn down the heat and cover the pan until the potatoes are cooked through and soft.

3.                  Turn the heat in the pan back up to medium. Crack the eggs into a bowl and mix them up (like you would scrambled eggs), pour into the pan, quickly mixing them with the potatoes and onions.

4.                  When the eggs are cooked through, pour in your salsa, mix it over medium heat until heated through and the salsa doesn't appear watery.

5.                  Heat up your tortillas and pour the mixture evenly between the tortillas, sprinkle with cheese, then wrap them up like burritos. 

6.                  Take a small piece of tinfoil and wrap the burrito in it, let it stand for about 3 minutes before eating (this will soften up the shell more, melt the cheese, and let all the ingredients "meet").
