Breakfast Burritos with a little kick from the Chipotle and full of flavor, frozen and enjoyed all week long!
Happy Friday! We’re so excited its Halloween this weekend! Since my kids have been counting down all month, they’re bouncing off the walls today! We’ve got lots of fun little activities planned for the next couple days. (starting with a quick trip to the mall this morning, because they need rain boots for the monsoon we’re going to have while trick or treating tomorrow! please don’t ask how we live in the rainiest state in the continental u.s and they still don’t have rain boots…#momfail)
So, my husband had back surgery back in May, and was put on restrictions for awhile of course, but he started PT back up every morning a couple weeks ago. Now his time in the mornings to get ready is cut a little shorter, not to mention hes usually pretty hungry after PT. A banana and piece of toast just wasn’t cutting it anymore! He’s a huge, huge lover of breakfast burritos. Always ordering them or stopping somewhere to pick them up. So I figured I’d make him some!
These are so easy. And SO GOOD. There’s a little prep work involved, and honestly, more pans are being used than I would like, however, the way I see it, I only have to do it once, and he gets almost two weeks worth of breakfasts out of it, (you could even double the recipe and get almost a months worth!), a filling, fairly healthy, incredibly delicious breakfast at that! I may have stole one the other morning to test it out, you know quality check and all! 😉
These chipotle breakfast burritos should definitely be part of your meal prep for the week!
