• 8 slices bacon or 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 2 cans (15.5 ounces each) beans of choice (optional; drained and rinsed)
• 8 large eggs
• ⅓ cup milk of choice
• Salt to taste
• 8 10-inch flour tortillas (at room temperature)
• 2 cups shredded cheese (of choice)
• ½ tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade, divided)

For Breakfast Burritos with Tofu:

• ⅔ cup pico de gallo (store-bought or homemade)
• 16-32 ounces frozen tater tots (½ bag or 1 whole bag, as desired)
• 1 tablespoon neutral oil
• 1 pound firm or extra-firm tofu (pressed)
• 2 cans (15.5 ounces each) beans of choice (drained and rinsed)
• 8 10-inch flour tortillas (at room temperature)
• 2 cups shredded cheese (optional)
• ½ tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade, divided)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Pico de Gallo: Drain pico de gallo by placing it in a colander or fine mesh sieve. Use paper towels to blot out excess liquid.
2. Cook Tater Tots: Prepare tater tots according to package instructions. For extra crispiness, use an air fryer.
3. For Breakfast Burritos with Meat & Eggs:
   • In a large skillet, cook bacon or sausage over medium heat until crisp. Remove and set aside.
   • Whisk eggs and milk together, then cook in the same skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until fully cooked. Add salt and stir in the drained pico de gallo and beans. Let cool.
4. For Breakfast Burritos with Tofu:
   • In a skillet, heat oil and crumble tofu. Cook until the liquid evaporates and tofu begins to brown. Add pico de gallo and beans, cooking until the mixture is dry. Let cool.
5. Assemble the Burritos:
   • Lay out each tortilla. Add a layer of shredded cheese, then tater tots, followed by the egg or tofu mixture, and bacon or sausage (or tofu). Sprinkle taco seasoning.
   • Roll each tortilla tightly, placing seam-side down on a baking sheet.
6. Bake Burritos: Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake burritos for 10-12 minutes until crispy. Let them cool completely.
7. Freeze the Burritos: Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil. Freeze on a baking sheet for 1-2 hours, then transfer to an airtight freezer bag or container.

Reheating Instructions:

• Microwave: Remove foil, cover with a damp paper towel, and microwave for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Oven: Bake frozen burrito in foil at 375°F for 20-30 minutes until heated through.
