Prepare breakfast burritos in advance for easy grab-and-go meals. This recipe includes instructions for assembly, freezing, and reheating, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 12 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.
  2. While sausage cooks, whisk eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in eggs and scramble until cooked through.
  4. In a large bowl, combine cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well.
  5. Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  6. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling onto the center of each tortilla.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
  8. Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or foil.
  9. Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
  10. To reheat, remove from wrapping. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. For a crispier exterior, wrap in foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture.
  • Consider adding black beans or diced potatoes for extra heartiness.
  • These burritos are a great option for meal planning and can be customized with your favorite breakfast ingredients.
  • They are a convenient alternative to some meal delivery companies.
