H‑E‑B Select Ingredients Flautas For Breakfast Sausage Egg & Cheese
These are pretty good. Most of the stuff you buy from the prepared frozen (or should that be frozen prepared?) breakfast items assortment are relatively bad. Mostly, they just do not taste the same as the fresh equivalent.
The example that comes to mind is a major brand English Muffin with Egg, Canadian Bacon and Cheese sandwich, which comes out of the microwave as a true mess. The biggest problem with all these products is that if they include anything that comes under the "bread" heading (bread, muffins, tortillas, pitas, etc.) then they are lost to the effects of a microwave oven.
I think is was Hot Pockets that pioneered the use of the "crisping sleeve" which only partially fixes the problem. The true answer is the toaster oven. Let me demonstrate.
The flautas above, which are a house brand of the HEB grocery chain which is very common in Central Texas, come with crisping sleeves. You put two flautas into the sleeve and put them in the microwave for 1:30 (minutes). They come out hot, all the way through, but all you have to do is touch the tortilla wrapper (carefully, they are hot) to know that the tortilla is not crisp by any reasonable definition.
So, take them and pop them directly onto the rack in your toaster over, and set it to one standard toast cycle. When the toaster oven dings, the tortillas will be crispy on the outside. Be careful, they are still very hot. A few minutes on a plate is all it takes to let them cool slightly to crispy delicious.
And they are really good. The eggs taste fluffy (can things taste fluffy?), and the ensemble is very satisfying. I think they could use a little picante sauce, but you will have to be the judge of that.
