Christmas Breakfast Burritos

I made these a couple days before Christmas and just through them in the freezer. They were nice to have on hand because people could just help themselves and pop one in the microwave without muss fuss.  I adapted this recipe from a recipe Jane gave me, Tasty Breakfast Burritos. 
1 pound pork breakfast sausage (like Jimmy Deans)
1/2 pound Chorizo sausage
1 can diced Mexican-style tomatoes
16 eggs
1/2 C milk
2-3 jalapeño peppers, diced
20 (8 inch) flour tortillas
8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Brown sausages together in large skillet until fully cooked, breaking into small pieces.  Drain excess grease.  Add tomatoes with juice and mix well. Add the flour and cook until thickened.  Remove from skillet and set aside.

Beat eggs well and then mix in milk.  Add jalapeños.  Pour into skillet and cook until eggs are scrambled and set.

Stack tortillas on a damp dish towel and wrap.  Place on a plate and steam in the microwave for about 2 minutes (50% power).  This will soften them so they are less likely to crack when you roll them.

To assemble burritos, place tortilla on work surface.  Cover with portions of egg and then sausage mixture.  Top with cheese.  Roll up tortillas and wrap in foil.  Tortillas can be warmed in oven for 15-20 minutes or frozen and reheated in the microwave for a couple minutes.
