Protein-Packed Freezer Breakfast Burritos

I am not a morning person.  I have tried and it just doesn’t seem to work for me.  Something happens at night and I am transformed into this super-charged go-getter that can conquer a to-do list in 8 minutes flat (or at least it feels like 8 minutes until I look at the clock and see it is well past midnight).  Come the morning, I am tired, cranky, and in desperate need of coffee.  Sound familiar to anyone?

I’ve come to accept that mornings just aren’t my thing, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be a little bit easier.  One trick I’ve learned is to prepare a lot of breakfasts that can be made whenever you have time and then frozen for a quick morning meal.  These protein-packed freezer breakfast burritos are truly perfect; they’re healthy, tasty, and can be served in less than 2 minutes in the morning.
