Morning fiesta
Taco nights are standard in our households, and thanks to this make-ahead breakfast burrito idea by Iowa Girl Eats, all those mexi-ingredients don’t need to go to waste. Re-purpose your leftover tortillas, salsa and cheese into freezer-ready breakfast burritos. With the switch up of eggs and bacon, and 30 minutes on a Sunday night, you can have a brekky that only takes 90 seconds of your busy morning to heat and serve. Olé!
