Turkey Sausage Breakfast Burritos

(scroll down to the bottom to see the plain recipe)

I've been working at a new job and I end up starving by the time lunch hits.  So I started going to a fast food place to buy breakfast burritos every morning.  Well, I finally put my foot down for three reasons.  One, sometimes a long line at the fast food place would make me late to work.  Two, I had NO CLUE as to what was actually in that burrito.  Three, It would be so much cheaper to make them myself.

It began with the eggs.  A lot of eggs.  One dozen to be exact.  I put them in a bowl with a good amount of freshly ground black pepper, garlic, and 4 TBSP of small curd cottage cheese.  I'm serious about the cheese.  It makes eggs taste even better and it's good for you.  Plus, I promise you can't taste them after they're all cooked in.  I wisked it all together before scrambling it in my biggest frying pan.

After the hard part was done, I started constructing my breakfast burritos.  I put a decent sized scoop of eggs on each tortilla, 1 turkey sausage, and a spoonful of diced tomatoes and green peppers.  I rolled them up and bagged them.  I put two in the fridge and the rest in the freezer.

The thawed burritos I warmed for just 30 seconds in the microwave.  The frozen ones I heated for 1 minute on high, flipped it over, and then heated for an additional 45 seconds.  You can heat them more or less depending on your microwave and desired temperature.

Just for fun, I kept my receipt for this one.
$1.50 Dozen Eggs
$3.49 Turkey Sausage ($2.91 for 10 links)
$1.99 Cottage Cheese
1.99 Freezer bags ($.99 for 10 bags)
$1.00 Tortillas
$1.00 Diced Tomatoes with Green Peppers

Total Cost for 10 Burritos: $9.39
Cost of each Burrito: $.94

As a note, 1 of these burritos is about the same size as TWO burritos from the fast food place I went.  So I'm spending half as much on breakfast AND I know what's going into my stomach.
