I am always looking for ways to save both time and money and one of my favorite things to do is to repurpose leftovers into other meals. My daughter loves to eat a breakfast burrito in the morning (or really any time of day!) but the frozen ones in the grocery store can be pricey so I started making my own from leftovers and my kids all love them.
They are easy to make, save you time in the morning and save you money since you are using up all your leftovers. You can customize them to fit your own special food likes and dislikes but adding your own ingredients but I like to keep them pretty simple so my kids eat them.
Here is my Breakfast Burrito recipe–remember you can customize it any way you like!
