McDonald’s Breakfast Burrito

1 lb. Rolled Pork Sausage (mild)
1/2 C. Yellow Onion (diced)
1/4 C. Fresh Tomatoes (diced)
1 Tbsp. Green Chili’s (diced those in a can)
10 – 12 CT Pkg. Flour Tortillas Shells (8″-9″ diameter)
9 Eggs ( 2 cups)
10 – 12 Slices American Cheese
Favorite Taco Sauce or Picante Sauce
Crumble and fry pork sausage, stir and separate meat so it will fry in small little pieces. Remove from heat drain and rinse with hot water, drain water from sausage. Place drained sausage in fry pan add onion, green chili’s and tomatoes, heat on medium temperature just until sausage and vegetables are heated through, stir frequently.
Measure 2 cups of eggs and beat. Add the eggs to the pan with the sausage mixture.  When cooked remove from heat. Cover and store the sausage mixture that is not used and refrigerate. It will keep for several days for your next breakfast. In the middle of one flour tortilla shell place one slice of cheese in the middle. Spoon one – two tablespoons of the egg mixture and roll up the shell. Place on platter and cover with plastic and pop in microwave just long enough to heat and melt cheese. Serve with your favorite taco or Picante sauce. You will find these are milder and relay great for breakfast. I like to place sour cream and little avocado in mine.

    one thing i wasnt sure was how to place the cheese. Does it go in the middle, or outside of the middle in the middle of the outside of the middle of the shell’s middle, or in the middle of the shell when folded outside of the middle’s middle?

    Thanks!

    I would build the burrito by placing the cheese on top of the tortilla, and then adding the egg mixture.

    A much easier cheese helper is the cheese sauce that comes in the cheese isle. When we make these we use sausage, bacon, eggs, onions, green peppers and shells. Then we use the cheese sauce to top it off. It works perfect and much easier. We do this all the time when we are camping, a big family hit!

    I have cooked the same recipes at home for my kids,my honey and myself when I eat,as far as cheese I use cheddar I’ve tried sour cream but have added some other spices to jazz it up.Also as we are talking about Mcdonalds I cook the various muffins,the egg Mcmuffin I do as a an assembly line so we can freeze them after everyone is full,I use the micro-wave to cook the eggs(about 50 seconds per extra large egg) with a round glass bowl and cooking spray topped with waxed paper,as this is going I cook sausage,canadian bacon,hame and regular bacon at the sametime that I’m toasting the muffins (you can use various cheeses it’s up to you The children enjoyed them so much I had to make extras so they could take them home.I’ts fast easy and fun I am in the proscess of teaching my grand daughter how to she loves to learn when she spends the night and we cook grand mom breakfast in the morning.

    At McDonalds, they fold the cheese in half and place just half of it in the center of hte tortilla, then place the mix on top of it.

    Why is this not safe? i know aluminum foil isn’t, but plastic wrap is fine.
    It is thought that off gassing, or there are gasses that are produced when you heat plastics in the microwave that may not be completely safe for you.
