  • Author: Karina
  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

Save time and reduce morning stress with these customizable, freezer-friendly breakfast burritos. Perfect for busy families, these burritos can be prepped in one session and reheated in just two minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or Mexican blend)
  • 2 cups hash browns or diced potatoes
  • 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach)
  • 1215 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce or salsa (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook proteins (bacon or sausage) until crispy, crumble, and drain excess grease. Set aside to cool.
  2. Sauté vegetables until soft and remove excess moisture. Let cool completely.
  3. Brown hash browns or potatoes until crispy. Let cool completely.
  4. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a skillet over medium-low heat until slightly runny. Spread on a plate to cool.
  5. Let tortillas sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to become pliable.
  6. Assemble burritos by placing eggs, cheese, and fillings in the center of a tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border.
  7. Fold the bottom edge up, fold sides in tightly, and roll upward firmly into a cylinder.
  8. Wrap each burrito tightly in heavy-duty aluminum foil, then place in a freezer bag, squeezing out air.
  9. Label with date and filling type. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  10. To eat, remove foil, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave on high for 1.5-2 minutes. Let rest for 1 minute.

Notes

Ensure all fillings are completely cool before wrapping to prevent soggy tortillas. Use heavy-duty foil to prevent tearing. Let tortillas reach room temperature before rolling to avoid cracking. For best quality, consume within 6 weeks.
