Freezer Breakfast Burritos (Printable)
Hearty make-ahead burritos with eggs, sausage, veggies, and cheese ready from the freezer in minutes.
# What You 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 - ½ 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 Make It:
01 - Crumble breakfast sausage into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, cook diced red bell pepper and yellow onion until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
03 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour into the skillet over the vegetables. Scramble gently over medium-low heat until eggs are just set. Remove from heat and fold in the cooked sausage.
04 - Lay tortillas flat on a work surface. Divide the egg and sausage mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top each portion with shredded cheddar cheese.
05 - Fold in both sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to seal. Allow burritos to cool slightly before wrapping.
06 - Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper. Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container and freeze until needed.
07 - Remove foil, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until heated throughout.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You get a genuinely satisfying breakfast in under three minutes on your worst mornings
- The filling tastes just as good reheated as it does fresh off the stove
02 -
- Letting the filling cool before rolling prevents the tortillas from turning soggy and tearing
- Wrapping each burrito individually before bagging stops them from fusing together in the freezer
03 -
- Warming the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave before filling makes them far more cooperative to roll
- Sprinkling a little extra cheese right along the fold line acts like edible glue
