Make ahead Burritos Recipe

I have been introduced to the McDonalds Breakfast Burrito Sandwich by someone who shall remain nameless, I then progressed to the WW breakfast burrito and these seemed to be enjoyed by others in my house also. @ $3.99 for a box of 2 this could begin to add up after a bit. The Breakfast burrito is a great item to take on the go. So .... how can this be solved. The recipe below is a good start, but some adjustments will need to be made to bring the calories down.

Breakfast Burritos
To get you started on the road toward simple breakfasts, here's a recipe for easy Breakfast Burritos ... definitely one my family's all-time favorite make-ahead meals.

BREAKFAST BURRITOSFrom: Frozen Assets: How to cook for a day and eat for a month(24 burritos)
12 eggs, beaten
1 pound bulk sausage, cooked (or crumbled links)
1/2 cup chunky salsa (your choice of heat)
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
24 flour tortillas (you can also use whole wheat)

Scamble eggs in large skillet until done; stir in cooked sausage and salsa. Warm tortillas in microwave 20 - 30 seconds or until warm and flexible. Place 1/2 cup eggmixture into tortilla; roll burrito-style.Freeze burritos in single layer on lightly greased cookie sheet. When fully frozen, wrap burritos individually; place wrapped burritos in large zip-top freezer bags; freeze.

TO SERVE:Unwrap burritos from foil or plastic wrap that you used for freezing. Wrap in a paper towel. Cook in microwave until heated through (about 2 minutes). Or thaw burritos (remove plastic wrap if used in freezing), wrap burritos in foil, and bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes.

Optional Ingredients:
1 green pepper, finely diced
6 potatoes, shredded and fried until cooked through(or use hashbrowns)
