Delicious Thanksgiving Wraps, with Tortilla Rolling Tips

We have a good amount of turkey and 'fixins left from Thanksgiving and in case you do, too, here is my new favorite way to enjoy them!

Thanksgiving wraps! 

So much less work than turkey pot pie or a turkey panini or even turkey soup! A tad bit more work than a turkey sandwich with mayo, but much more yummy.

Bonus points for being portable. We actually took a version of these to Colmar last year so we could still have "thanksgiving dinner" and they were great as a make-ahead meal. 

It's something you can make a bunch of at once and toss in the fridge for hungry scavengers to find! 

Tortillas, cream cheese, cranberry sauce, leftover deviled egg filling, and turkey. It's more of an "add what you have leftover still or add whatever you think will taste good" kind of thing. Not really a hard and fast recipe.

The cream cheese is important though. And also the turkey and stuffing. Otherwise I don't feel like you can call it a Thanksgiving wrap ;-)

We had some leftover veggies from the turkey tray and I've also used lettuce or spinach. I like a crunch in mine, and the green stuff makes me feel better about the boxed stuffing and the canned cranberry jelly ;-)

And that's it! Super easy! We're having them for dinner and lunches a couple times this week till the leftovers are gone. Hurray for not having to cook! I just wrap them in foil and pop them in the fridge.

Also, for those who are baffled about how to roll a tortilla tightly, fear not... 

This is the way I roll up our breakfast burritos, too. Helps keep everything together nicely!

I hope you're enjoying your Thanksgiving leftovers as much as we are!

Easy Portable Recipe | Frozen Breakfast Burritos

Behold, the humble breakfast burrito. 

A simple way to send My Love to work with something decently healthy every shift.

He loves them so much that he's practically begged me not to mess with them. (What, me? Experiment with a recipe? NEVER!)

I make them pretty much every week, then pop them in the freezer and know that I have at least one thing on hand for him to toss in his bag for work. Or if I'm having a marathon editing session and my tummy starts growling for something spicy. 

Jessica's Easy Frozen Breakfast Burritos

3 bell peppers, any variety
1 large onion
red pepper flakes, to taste
chili powder, to taste
cayenne pepper, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup pre-cooked meat of your choice (bacon, sausage, even chicken)

1 dozen eggs

large tortillas (whole wheat hold up the the freezing/thawing process better. Homemade if you're feeling ambitious this week - which is NOT me lately)

2 cups shredded cheese, any variety (we like cheddar) 

Finely dice peppers and onion and saute with seasonings until tender. Add meat and eggs and reduce the heat to medium-low. That's the trick for keeping my stainless steel pan from being stuck with a layer of eggs - low heat and LOTS of butter! Cook the eggs, stirring occasionally. Set the tortillas out on the clean counter with a bit of shredded cheese in the middle. Add your egg mixture and roll the tortillas into burritos!

Makes about 8-12, depending on how full you like them. 

Wrap them in foil and put them directly in the freezer, or in the fridge if they'll be eaten within a few days. Jesse actually likes them room temperature so he will pull them out of the freezer the day before he wants to eat them, to thaw. I will pop them directly from the freezer to the oven to heat up. 

The whole process takes about an hour. And I'm usually listening to good music and doing other things in the kitchen anyways, like dishes or dinner prep, so it's really not a bad gig.

If you're looking for some easy portable food to make ahead, these babies are it! We've even eaten them in the car on the beginning of road trips! And I sometimes make a batch for a friend who is going through a tough time or just had a baby.

So many possible uses for this easy frozen breakfast burrito recipe!
