Cooking: Well Planned Dinner = Better Breakfast

This summer my teenage boy discovered he loves breakfast burritos.  I'm pleased as punch with this culinary revelation since a breakfast burrito is a great way to get grain, protein and veggies in one convenient hand-held meal.  So when I mentioned that they keep well in the freezer, my son requested that I make some to have on hand for a quick breakfast before school.  Nice idea, but since he's the main consumer - I flipped the request back around to him and suggested he make it for dinner one night.  So on his night to cook, he made a really big batch of breakfast burrito components.

Since we only made a small dent with what we ate at dinner, we cleared the table and set the leftovers up on the kitchen counter - ready for some assembly-line action.  Here's how it went:

1. Grab a tortilla
2. Add some scrambled eggs
3. Add some hashbrowns
4. Add some sausage crumbles
5. Add some cheese
6. Salsa is an optional ingredient as well
7. Roll up burrito style (tucking in edges as you roll up)
8. Wrap in aluminum foil

As you can see - he ended up with a grundle of breakfast burritos.  We placed them in freezer-ziptop bags and he pulls one out once or twice a week for breakfast or even for an after-school or late-night snack.  Preparing one dinner ended up feeding him for a long time.  Hopefully he'll remember that when he's off on his own.
