It’s Friday morning. You stumble into the kitchen after yet another rough Thursday night at Skeeps or Ricks (or STR, Skeeps then Ricks… ), and the thought of eating a stale bowl of cereal couldn’t sound less satisfying to your hungover stomach. All you can think about is having an extravagant all-you-can-eat brunch at Sava’s, but let’s be real — you are a poor college student and have no money to splurge (if you did, it would obviously be on food). However, there’s no need to resort to that 2-month old box of Special K just yet. With a few everyday foods, you can throw together the most deliciously giant breakfast burrito you’ve ever tasted. Watch out Sava’s, homemade burrito coming through.

7. Roll up the tortilla like a wrap.
8. Place back in the pan for you used to cook the veggies on low heat for 2-3 minutes to toast the tortilla.

9. Place the burrito on a plate with a spatula. (Half its guts fell out? No worries — top the burrito with whatever you lost from inside.)
