Did someone say tailgate?

Here's the thing about tailgating...do you bring breakfast, brunch or lunch? Whatever it is, it has to be easy and compact to eat. When I found this recipe idea from Midwest Living, I tweaked it a little, added some things and once again was able to buy practically everything at La Grange Farmer's Market. One-stop shopping, fresh food from friendly merchants make your fall outing tasty and unique.

Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch Burritos

6-10 inch flour tortillas
Butter
1 c hash browns (I used already-prepared, but did find a good recipe by Alton Brown)
1/2 c breakfast sausage, bulk pork sausage, diced bacon, or diced cooked ham
2 slices bacon (Jakes's is the best!)
6 eggs
1/3 c milk
1/4 t salt
1/4 t chili powder
1/4 c chopped onion
1/4 c red sweet pepper
Jalapeno peppers, seeded and sliced
Cheese, shredded (queso, pepper jack)
Sour cream
Salsa (I had some spicy cilantro salsa)

Heat tortillas in the microwave for one minute. Set aside.

For filling: In a medium non-stick pan, melt butter. Stir in hash browns. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, carefully turn over to cook until brown and crisp. Stir in meat and bacon. Heat through. Set aside. Keep warm

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and chili powder. In a large skillet, melt the butter and add onion and red pepper. Cook over medium heat till tender. Pour in egg mixture and cook till mixture sets on the bottom and on the edges.

Gently fold the partially cooked egg mixture so all cooks evenly. Remove immediately.

Divide potato mixture among the tortillas, Top each with egg mixture, chilies, cheese. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream and salsa. Or you can keep warm in the oven, wrapped in foil.

Also - you can make these the day before and warm them up in the microwave. Or transport them wrapped in foil. They actually are good at room temperature too.
