Start with the tortillas. I make them the night before and stick them in the fridge, that way I don't have to wake up earlier than I already do!
4 c. flour
3 tbs. oil
2 tsp. salt
1 to 1 1/2 c. hot water
Combine all ingredients and stir with a fork until all the flour is wet and has formed a ball of ugly dough. Leave it alone and walk away for about 10 minutes. If you over work the dough before this rest period, it will make it tough and you won't get soft tortillas. After your rest time, work the dough and make it smooth by kneading it just a bit, about 3 minutes. Break the dough into 3 to 4 inch balls and get your griddle out. Your going to cook these on low/medium heat. Cooking them too fast will result in tough or brittle tortillas. The key is to keep the tortilla moving and cook it slow! Roll your dough balls out flat at about 1/4 inch thick and slap 'em on the griddle. You shouldn't need more flour to roll them out. The dough should have a tacky texture, but not sticky. If it is sticky, knead in a bit more flour, but not too much. Remember, turn them a lot to keep them soft. When you start seeing some brown spots, they are done. Don't over cook! Or they will get tough.
When these are done, wrap in a dish cloth and stick in the fridge. The next morning, or whenever you decide to eat them, warm them back up on the griddle, on low heat. Now, on to the filling!
Do you like Jimmy Dean? I think when it comes to breakfast meats, that man knows what he's talking about. However, portion control? Not so much his thing. Jimmy Dean makes this great little creation called Skillet Scramblers. The instructions say to use the whole bag with 6 eggs. That would mean you are spending about six bucks on that little package for one meal. That costs too much! I have a better solution to get the most out of you buck! You can get these in the freezer section with the other breakfast items. They come in sausage, bacon and ham. We prefer the sausage or ham.
Use about 1/2 cup of this mixture with 6 to 8 eggs, depending on how many you folks you need to feed. Add more JD Skillets or use less, make it fit you. If you do this, you can get about 6 breakfasts out of this one little bag! Now, buying this is worth it!
Scramble your eggs into the sausage mixture and there you have it. Easy Breakfast Burritos! Enjoy!
