Recipe+for+Burritos

30-32 medium/large tortilla shells (they come in packs of 8-10). I use the larger "burrito size" ones, but you could probably use the soft taco size as well.
 * Recipe:**

54 eggs - and I add in a bit of milk (I basically use 18 eggs per 10 burritos) 3 pounds ground sausage (1 pound per 10 burritos) 3 cups grated cheese (about a cup or so per 10 burritos) 2 pounds shredded or cubed hash browns (optional) (they usually come in 2 lb bags. I use 2 lbs whether I'm doing 20 or 30) 1/2 of a green pepper (optional) chopped onion (optional) (I buy hash browns that already have peppers and onions in them)

A bit of salt and pepper

Scramble and cook the eggs and cook the sausage SEPARATELY. If you do cut up a green pepper, chop it and add into eggs while they cook - helps to soften the pepper.

Also cook the hash browns separately. When everything is cooked, mix it all together in a big bowl and add in the grated cheese. The heat of the cooked items will melt it enough.

Put tortilla shells on individual pieces of tin foil. Spoon out enough of the food mix to fill the middle of the tortilla, then fold up the sides first and then roll it back. You'll quickly see if you have too much (or not enough) food put in. I spoon out into all shells before I wrap them, to make sure I've allocated well. If you end up with not enough or too much at the end, you can make adjustments to others.

Wrap up each in aluminum foil. If you've made them more than a day before they will be delivered, freeze them. Otherwise, just refrig until you take to my house (or I can come pick them up).

If you're going with us to deliver, heat them up that morning. Preheat oven to 340 and then reheat for 30-35 minutes. Don't stack them on top of each other in the oven - lay out in single layers on cookie sheet - I normally have three full cookie sheets, on different racks, and I flip them over after 20 minutes just to better evenly distribute the heat and make sure the bottoms don't get burnt. Then I put them in my insulated backpack just before I leave the house. They'll stay hot for an easy 45 minutes.


 * IF YOU'RE A VOLUNTEER COOKING FOOD FOR OTHERS TO DELIVER, PLEASE PREPARE AS ABOVE BUT THEN BRING TO MY HOUSE SOMETIME FRIDAY SO I WILL HAVE THEM SATURDAY MORNING. If I'm not going and there is another leader for a given day, I will have it posted on the wiki p****age. Any help is appreciated!**
