Breakfast Burritos

Anyone else live with someone who is irritatingly chipper in the morning? 🤣🌝 I enjoy waking up early and getting my workout in before the sun rises but it's safe to say that no one would label me a "morning person". 

Early morning wake up calls are one thing - being cheerful about it, is an entirely different matter. 😴 That's what separates me from my better half.  😜 This guy leaps out of bed before the crack of dawn, ready to make important decisions, start serious discussions and sing show tunes - all without any caffeine assistance.  😳☕️ #marriage

Breakfast for me happens after my workout and shower.  It usually occurs much closer to brunch time which is my excuse for eating a much bigger meal than I should. 😅 Eggs and turkey bacon are a popular choice for me but I've also been known to grab granola and yogurt if I'm in a hurry.  I leave the pancake and waffle making duties to my morning-loving spouse.  🤣

I've made a simplified version of these breakfast burritos for years.  Rolling eggs and cheese in a tortilla qualifies as a breakfast burrito, right?  Then I discovered this upgraded burrito recipe.  A soft tortilla filled with spicy chorizo, eggs, cheese and tator tots?!?  I never would have put those ingredients together but let me tell you - it works.  And it's amazing!  😂

Tator tots for me, were something that I hadn't even thought about since I left elementary school.  I'm pretty sure that I've never bought them before so when my youngest child found the bag in the freezer, she loudly announced: "mom bought tator tots!"  🤣  It's not something that I'm used to but they are a delicious addition to these burritos.  And they're way easier than shredding my own potatoes.  

Ciao!
