Breakfast Burritos

Make these easy breakfast burritos for a satisfying breakfast or brunch meal. They are made with scrambled eggs, Italian sausage, cheese and tomatoes.

If you like the breakfast burritos served at your local fast food joint, why not try making them at home? You can make these burritos in about 30 minutes.

This is a simple recipe and by making them yourself, you can save a lot of money and still provide a satisfying warm meal. You will also have the added benefit of homemade food, which in my opinion, just tastes better all around.

You can customize the recipe with other items you may have on hand like red peppers, different cheeses, and also add a bit of spice if that is what your tastebuds like.

If you need to stretch this recipe for those hungry teens in your family, scramble up a few more eggs than the recipe calls for
