Happy Pig Breakfast Burrito

Breakfast burritos are very popular in our home. With all the eggs we get from our backyard chickens, I am always looking for ways to use up large amounts of eggs. These burritos are excellent for breakfast, lunch and dinner and even an afternoon snack. Loaded with lots of protein they are going to make everyone in the family happy. Which is why I call this recipe the Happy Pig Breakfast Burrito.

This burrito is loaded with the trifecta of breakfast meats – bacon, sausage and ham. I like to use thick-cut bacon so that when you chop it up it doesn’t turn into dust. I also prefer to use either a ham steak or a ham “roast”, basically chunk ham and not thin-sliced deli ham. Lastly I like to use a regular breakfast sausage, not a hot sausage or a sage sausage or even a maple sausage. That said, if you prefer one of those styles of sausage, they would totally work.

These burritos can be made ahead of time and frozen for later consumption. I suggest that you let each burrito cool on the counter for about 10 minutes, then wrap in plastic wrap. Then add them to a gallon sized zipper bag. If you want to make them in the morning for eating later that same day, I would suggest immediately wrapping in aluminum foil and place in refrigerator if more than a few hours before eating.
