Step by step

work station for assembling breakfast burritos

Create a workstation for assembling your burritos. You will have the scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage if including, cheese, and any other add-ins you like (see below for suggestions.) Place 6 pieces of parchment paper below the center of your workstation for ease of wrapping individual burritos for freezing.
Lay a tortilla on the stack of parchment paper and add the filling ingredients. Keep the filling in the lower third of the tortilla.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the bottom up and roll. Wrap tightly in parchment paper. Repeat for all burritos.

veggies: chopped bell pepper, onion, spinach, diced tomatoes, pico de gallo, jalapeño
cheese: mozzarella, gruyere, pepper jack, feta, colby jack, swiss, cheddar
potatoes: diced or shredded hash browns, tater tots
amp the flavor: cilantro, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salsa, pesto, chimichurri sauce
toppings: sour cream, chopped green onion, guacamole

Tips

When making scrambled eggs for breakfast burritos, don’t salt the eggs until after they are cooked to avoid runny eggs (which make for soggy burritos!)
If making more than one kind of burrito label the parchment paper with what kind it is after wrapping.

Freezing breakfast burritos

The best way to freeze breakfast burritos is to lay them flat on a tray or plate and freeze. Once they are frozen transfer the frozen burritos to a freezer bag. Frozen burritos will last up to 3 months so be sure to date the bag or the individual burritos.

Reheating instructions

Unwrap the burrito and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave for 90 seconds. Check the burrito, if not warmed through continue to microwave in 30 seconds intervals.

Don’t overcook the burrito in the microwave or you risk the tortilla getting hard.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
