Breakfast Burritos-Think Outside the Box

Breakfast time is always a rush. Getting kids ready for school and yourself off to work can take its toll. Breakfast doesn’t have to be cold cereal or even non-existent. Breakfast burritos are becoming a big hit and they can be quick and easy too. Think outside the box by adding ingredients that you might not think of for breakfast. You probable already have some of these items in the kitchen or better yet just use leftovers from the night before.

Warm up a tortilla and add honey and peanut butter. Roll them into an easy and quick breakfast on the run. They are delicious and healthy and who doesn’t want that for their family?

How about a hot tortilla with a couple of hot dogs wrapped in them? Add your favorite hot dog toppings like chili or cheese and yes, you have breakfast to go. It may not seem like a normal breakfast but still it is energy for the day. Who can argue with that?

Try some leftover spaghetti in a tortilla. You could be surprised at how good it tastes. No spaghetti noodles? Try the sauce wrapped with a hot dog in a tortilla and you still have a fairly healthy breakfast.

Try heating up that leftover chili and spreading it on a tortilla. Just roll it up and go. Who would think that this is a great taste sensation and so easy to do? Cook a couple of scrambled eggs and add the chili and you have another great choice for breakfast.

Do you ever have leftover baked potatoes? Slice and dice them, warm them in the microwave. Add some seasonings, onions or chives and sour cream. Wrap in a warm flour tortilla and you can eat on the run.

Take a can of refried beans and spread them on a tortilla, place in the microwave with some cheese and a little sour cream and you have a great Mexican tortilla. Beans have a lot of protein and can make a great morning eye opener.

Have leftover salad mix from the night before? Take the salad mix, place in a tortilla and add your favorite salad dressing, roll and eat. Not necessarily something you would choose for breakfast but it’s healthy and makes a great day starter.

Do you have leftover steak from last night? Slice, dice or cube it and add it to a tortilla for a great source of protein and a very easy breakfast meal.
