Breakfast burrito style:
- – Take final prepared and cooked mixture, and add it 3 tablespoons at a time to a room temperature burrito. Fold burrito in on both sides, then fold in, tucking the long side underneath. Wrap in aluminum foil and place in freezer until needed! Once you’re ready to eat it, remove foil, and heat in microwave for 1.5 – 2 minutes, depending on your microwave. Serve with salsa on the side!
Breakfast frittatas style:
- -Preheat oven to 350. Add cooked veggie and beans into raw egg mixture. Spray a muffin with nonstick cooking spray, and add the egg mixture with veggies into each tin, filling about halfway per tin. Bake for 12-15 mins or until edges are golden brown and enjoy!
