My entire family loves breakfast burritos. We usually end up having them as a breakfast for dinner sort of thing though because I am not a morning person. Not one bit. I was pretty excited when I was given the opportunity to partner with El Monterey and try out some breakfast burritos. My family could actually have some breakfast burritos in the morning, like they are intended. We tried out the Egg and Bacon burritos because, well Bacon.
First off, I was so impressed because they are made with real ingredients. The eggs looked like eggs, and the bacon looked like bacon. Not all frozen food is that way, sad to say. Everything tasted as it should as well. In addition to the bacon and eggs, there was a hint of spice which was just perfect for a breakfast burrito. It is frozen Mexican food after all, it needs a little kick.
My favorite part though is knowing that my kids got a nice protein filled breakfast before a busy day at school. With toast, bagels, or cereal, I sometimes I feel like they aren’t really going to stay full and ready to learn all the way until lunch. It’s a nice that a burrito is ready in 3.5 minutes(1.5 heat, 2 rest) so I can prepare their burritos while they are getting dressed. It’s been a time saver for us in the morning. A quick and hearty breakfast that they actually enjoy feels like a real Mom win!
You can take your El Monterey breakfast burrito on the go, but I like to add a little salsa shredded cheese, and some low fat sour cream. I’ve actually enjoyed a few burritos for my lunches. While the kids are at school, my time is so precious to get as much work done as possible. I loved heating up a burrito and eating while I worked. Here’s one more close-up shot of the inside. It’s making me hungry just looking at the pictures!

I’ve had their bean & cheese as well as green chili (my favorite) but have always been afraid to try any frozen breakfast burritos. Your pictures made them look yummy …. Thanks for the coupon!!! I’ll have to the breakfast burritos… I think I’ll start with the Egg, Cheese and Jalapeño Breakfast Burrito
These look really Yummy! I’m excited to try these and am extra excited with $1 off! Thanks for offering this coupon and giving me more information on what is available!
