Freezer Breakfast Burritos

I normally keep a supply of homemade bagels in our freezer in their own individual bags, ready to grab and go for a nice quick breakfast.  I wasn't feeling like making a batch of bagels over the weekend to replenish our stock and wanted to try something different.  I remember seeing a website that spoke of making your own frozen breakfast burritos that were individually foil wrapped and ready to unwrap and microwave in only 2 minutes...that was the something different I was going for!

I made these simply, but in the future I could see adding more ingredients like onion, mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, different cheeses, etc... And the best part, based on my calculations for my simple version of these, for 20 individual burritos, they are a delicious, hot and filling breakfast all for about .33 cents each!
