Blue Ribbon Recipe

Unless you're serving a big crowd, there always seems to be leftover chili. This is a great recipe to use up the extras! This breakfast burrito is a savory and filling way to start the day. Green onions add a pop of fresh flavor to the burrito. Very yummy! If you don't have any leftover chili, no fear. Buy some pre-made chili in a can and these breakfast burritos will still taste great.

Ingredients

2-3 cups leftover chili (homemade, any recipe)
2-4 - flour tortillas
5-6 - eggs
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (medium or sharp)
- sour cream
- tomatoes (optional)
- green onions, chopped (optional)

How To Make leftover chili breakfast burritos

Step 1

Scramble up some eggs, mix with a little water or milk to make them fluffy. Or, just scramble them and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a saucepan or microwave, heat your leftover chili.
Step 3

Zap the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them soft.
Step 4

Place a tortilla on a microwave-safe plate. Spoon some chili onto the middle of the tortilla being careful to leave enough tortilla edge to fold up into your burrito. (I would suggest using a slotted spoon. You don't want too much soupiness or it will soak right through the tortilla and make it doughy and fall apart.)
Step 5

Layer some scrambled eggs on top of the chili. Then top with shredded cheese. Dollop with sour cream.
Step 6

Roll up into burrito.
Step 7

Put into microwave for about 30 seconds or long enough to melt the cheese.
