Morning After Breakfast Burritos

¡vamos a comer!

(Let’s Eat!)

We have all experienced one of those days when we are just completely wore out, tired and need a quick pick me upper meal. Well this is it!

My Morning After Breakfast Burrito will provide you with what you need to get your day started.

Start with fingerling potatoes, if you don’t have fingerling a good Idaho potato would do the job.

Everyone always has eggs in the refrigerator, you can also substitute with egg beaters, I do this all the time.

If you want, you could just stop here and eat. That is how good these potatoes taste, they really don’t need anything else.

I tell you this is full of goodness, look at it, add some taco sauce, sour cream and cheese to really bring this burrito to another level.

I stuffed my burrito so big, I had to use a fork. Use your hands, no one is looking.
