Freezer Breakfast Burritos (Printable)
Hearty make-ahead burritos with eggs, sausage, veggies, and cheese for quick grab-and-go mornings.
# What You'll Need:
→ Meats
01 - 8.8 oz breakfast sausage, casing removed
→ Vegetables
02 - 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
04 - 3.5 oz baby spinach, chopped
→ Eggs & Dairy
05 - 8 large eggs
06 - 1/2 cup milk
07 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
08 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
→ Tortillas
09 - 8 large 10-inch flour tortillas
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove sausage to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, sauté the bell pepper and onion until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into the skillet with the vegetables. Scramble gently over medium-low heat until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked sausage.
04 - Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly divide the egg mixture among the tortillas, topping each with shredded cheddar cheese.
05 - Fold in the sides and roll up each burrito tightly. Allow them to cool slightly, then wrap each individually in foil or parchment paper. Place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
06 - Remove foil, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes from frozen, or bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until heated throughout.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- They genuinely taste like they were just made, not like something rescued from the back of a freezer
- You get a full hot breakfast in under three minutes on your most chaotic mornings
02 -
- Letting the filling cool before rolling prevents the tortillas from turning soggy and tearing
- Freezing them flat instead of tossing them in loose means they thaw more evenly in the microwave
03 -
- Scramble the eggs slightly underdone since they will finish cooking during reheating, keeping them from turning rubbery
- Place a sheet of parchment between each foil wrapped burrito in the freezer bag so they do not stick together
