But they are especially good for that first week of back to school. When that alarm goes off before the sun is even up, I am going to be happy that I have a yummy, protein packed, quick breakfast ready for my boys on their first day back. And the whole first week for that matter!
It’s my back to school tradition, I always make up a ton of these burritos and pop them in the freezer for quick breakfasts to help us get back into our routine. It’s a time saver and they love them, so win win!
Chop up a whole 5lb bag of potatoes. You can use any kind you want. I go back and forth between these red ones, and the Yukon gold. I don’t even bother to peel them. Give them a good wash, chop into small cubes, toss in olive oil, salt, pepper and some seasoning salt. Then pop them in a preheated 450 degree oven for 25-30min. I line the pan with foil and a little cooking spray to make for easy removal!
Meanwhile, brown up your favorite breakfast sausage. I used two packs (2lbs total) of the Jimmy Dean Regular. I normally like to get the sage flavored or even the maple, but my store was out this trip so I just got the regular. Drain and set aside.
Crisp up the bacon. Again I used two packs. But can you ever have too much bacon? I think I could have had one more pack this time around but the two will just have to work. I usually cut it up first then throw it in the pan and crisp it up. I think it splatters less this way and is quicker. You could also bake it then chop it up, however you prefer. And depending on your oven space, mine was currently full of potatoes so I went with a stove top method. Drain and set aside.
Scramble up some eggs. A LOT of eggs! (I did 3.5 dozen) And if you can, get some cute little sous chefs to crack and mix them up for you. There is a huge possibly that you will have to then fish out little bits of egg shell, but at least if they complain about a crunchy bite later you can blame it on them right?
Mix everything together. I get a huge bowl and just pour it all together and give it a gentle stir. I figure if I just mix it all together before then I don’t have to be so accurate with the proportions as I make each burrito and run the risk of ending up with a bunch of potatoes or something at the end. Make sense?
Warm tortillas. I usually do about 5 at a time. I place the tortillas between damp paper towels them microwave them for about 45sec.
Fill your burritos. I use my 1/2 cup measuring cup as a scooper and fill each tortilla with a 1/2 cup of the breakfast mix and then top with cheese. You can use whatever kind of cheese you like. I took some help from the store this time and got the kind that was already grated. But feel free to grate whatever kind you like. Just make sure you put some cheese in there, that’s what gives it that yummy, gooey goodness!
After they are all filled I then wrap them individually in some plastic wrap and then place them in freezer bags and pop them in the freezer. I was able to make 53 burritos! That should last me at least a week or two! Ok hopefully more, but seriously, my boys love these and seem to eat them faster and faster each time I make a batch. Even daddy loves them too because he can pop one in the microwave and take it to go on his way to work.
Warm up tip: Once they are frozen, before you pop it in the microwave, (remove the plastic wrap first obviously) wrap it in a damp paper towel. This will help to keep the tortilla from getting hard as it heats up. I usually microwave for 1min, flip it over and microwave for 30-60sec more depending on your microwave and how hot you want it.
Oh and tip number two, try dipping them in your favorite salsa or sauce. Our go-to is this Frank’s Red Hot Wings Buffalo sauce. Just try it, it will change your life! So good!
Hire a maid to clean up the aftermath of your burrito factory! No but really, don’t let this mess scare you, it will be worth it I promise!
You can totally add in any other ingredients you would like. For example if I was making these just for myself and not my picky bland eating children, I would throw in some sautéed onion and peppers and maybe even some mushrooms. But like I said, for now I keep it pretty simple.
I am now officially ready for school to start. Well, not that I want it to, but it will happen nevertheless so at least I am prepared right?!
Chop potatoes into small cubes. Toss in Olive Oil, salt, pepper and seasoning salt to taste. Bake on a foil lined pan 25-30min. Set aside.
To eat burritos, remove plastic wrap, wrap burrito in damp paper towel and microwave for 1.5min- 2min turning over half way during cook time.
TEACHING THE CRISIS is an intensive program fostering international scholarly exchange and discussion around the ongoing political, economic, social and ecological crisis – in Europe and beyond. For the first time in September 2013, it convened students and faculty from eleven different countries and diverse disciplinary backgrounds (such as Anthropology, Political Science, Philosophy, Gender Studies, Management, Literature, Sociology and International Relations) over the course of thirteen days at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
The program also included faculty participation by Michael Hardt (Duke University), Stefano Harney (Singapore Management University), Jan Hutta (University of Bayreuth) and Ben Trott (Free University Berlin, as of October 2013) along with additional student participation from the University of Tirana.
We believe that in these times of crisis, socially, politically and culturally engaged teaching and research has an important function. For this reason, we organized a teaching and research encounter through which new and exciting processes can emerge. This encounter was a first step towards enabling critical, transnational interrogation into the complexities, causal relationships and consequences of the crisis, with view to emerging spaces for developing potential alternative courses of action.
In this initial encounter, we investigated the nature, manifestations and trajectories of the crisis in the fields and localities that inform our work. Participants, both faculty and students, shared insights and presented their most recent research in formats that included lectures, workshops, seminars, city tours and book presentations.
The two-week encounter was a success in terms of our broader goals of interrogating and developing appropriate methodologies and perspectives on the crisis and to mapping its geographies with a view to culture and everyday life; urban politics and transformations; logistics, labour and precariousness; migration and gender; social movements, cultural production and new subjectivities; the transformation of statehood; financial crisis, commons and democracy.
Full reports produced by student research groups, consisting of students at the MA and PhD levels from participating universities, can now be read on this website. Additional information regarding the continuation of TEACHING THE CRISIS will be posted in due time.
With the changes in Lipo's, traction compounds, bodies and even carpet construction, we've seen an on-going change is set-up philosophies over the past few seasons.
After lots of testing starting at the Snowbirds, continuing with the R.O.A.R. Carpet Nats, and finalizing over the Spring & Summer, we feel the Rev.7 is the very best combination of performance, efficiency and tuneability (is that a word?).
We were able to design an off-set in-line configuration but still keep the weight bias very close to our standard battery configuration found in the Rev.6 and like the 6 allow for weight jacking for tuning purposes.
The Rev.7 is very narrow, but still has plenty of room for electronics. So far, most the built 7's are coming in around 705 grams....that allows for almost a full ounce of weight to be used for tuning.
The other nice benefit of running the off-set in-line battery is it let us gain some chassis efficiency. We narrowed up the chassis and moved the pivot points & springs further inboard. The Polar Moment of Inertia is even lower than before. The Rev.7 changes direction quicker as well as rotates 180's faster and more efficiently. We've actually seen a drop in motor temps with 17.5 testing back to back.
Due to moving the links in further, we were able to remove a lot of material from the chassis and bottom plate while still maintaining a very rigid racing platform.
To try to satisfy more customers, we will offer several different variations on the conversions. So, even if you are coming from a Associated, CRC , etc., we will have something to get you going.
