Breakfast Christmas morning
With all the candy and treats around Christmas time my family loves something savory for breakfast. The burritos are a hit. But the cinnamon rolls are also a tradition and I can’t stop making them.
It was tradition for my mom to get up early on Christmas morning and make cinnamon rolls. I continued that on with my family. And some years I just used Rhodes frozen cinnamon rolls and life still went on like normal. 😅
The Best homemade cinnamon rolls
We make our burritos with hash browns, scrambled eggs, ground sausage, and bacon pieces. I put salt and pepper on the hash browns and eggs as they cook. Roll into a burrito tortilla and top with salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese.
