Yum...Breakfast Burritos!

I posted yesterday about the fast-food influence on Amish diets.  Sometimes the influence isn't all bad.  A popular item at a fast-food chain will capture the Amish imagination, but they'll take the food concept home and put their own touches and twists to it.  Breakfast burritos are a staple on the McDonalds and Burger King morning menu, but they've also become popular in Amish homes. The Amish  version is tastier, and I would imagine healthier.  This is how they look being made at her house on one of my visits.  Here is an Amish teenager (hence the bracelet) spooning the eggs onto the burritos. Below is the recipe so you can try it yourself. You can use either sausage or bacon with this recipe, but the usually uses bacon is used. The burritos can be put into freezer bags and frozen for quick reheating.
