School is starting soon; and we in the Arkansas Test Kitchen couldn't be more thankful. Not just because Lil' Dude will be in school all day (that doesn't hurt), but because Football Season is almost here, Fall is almost here which means cooler temperatures, and Pumpkin Spice season is almost here! Yes, it is well documented how much both test kitchens enjoy pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks.
With school starting soon, that means rushing around the house in the morning, finding permission slips, packing lunches and making breakfast. For those mornings you don't want to fill your kids up with sugary breakfast cereal, we present you: Easy Breakfast Burritos!
Easy Breakfast Burrito
2 eggs
1 tsp butter
2 tsp milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 coffee cup
1 medium sized soft taco shell
Shredded cheese
Chunky salsa
Directions:
1. Butter the bottom of the coffee cup
2. In the cup, place 2 eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Scramble with a fork
3. Microwave for 45 seconds
4. Scramble again with the fork
5. Microwave again for an additional 45 seconds
*Place the tortilla shell in the microwave when you microwave the eggs for a second time
6. Place the egg mixture on the warmed tortilla shell, and top with shredded cheese and salsa
7. Fold into a burrito and enjoy
Cook time is less than 2 minutes; and this is a portable breakfast you can even take out the door with you. This is a protein packed breakfast that will fill your kids up, and give them the fuel they need for a busy day at school. And it's an affordable breakfast that can cost less per serving than a box of Frosted Flakes.
Cost Breakdown:
18 eggs 2.00 (on sale)
10 Tortilla Shells 2.50
Salsa 2.00
Shredded Cheese 2.00
Total Cost $8.50

Now that school is right around the corner, we look forward to sharing more kid-friendly, budget friendly recipes with you!
Stay Cool,
