Breakfast Burritos for the Freezer (Easy Recipe)

Recipe by Bailey Sissom

Breakfast burritos for the freezer are simple to make, requiring just basic pantry ingredients. Easy to make, simple to customize and perfect for busy mornings.


  • Total Time30 minutes
  • Yield8 Burritos 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. ground breakfast sausage 
  • 12 eggs
  • non stick spray
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • (8) thin slices of white cheddar cheese
  • (8 ) 10 inch flour tortillas 

Instructions

Cook Breakfast Sausage:

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add breakfast sausage. Cook until meat is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.

Scrambled Eggs:

  1. Beat eggs, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until blended.
  2. Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with olive oil spray. Pour in egg mixture. As eggs begin to set, gently pull the eggs across the pan with a spatula forming curds.
  3. Continue cooking - pulling, lifting and folding eggs - until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Don't stir constantly. Remove from heat. Set aside.

Assembly:

  1. Place 1 slice of cheese in the center of each tortilla. Add about 1/8 of the eggs and 1/8 of the sausage to the tortilla. Fold the sides into the  center of the tortilla and then roll into a burrito. 
  2. Carefully wrap the assembled burrito in aluminum foil. Store wrapped burritos in an airtight bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

How To Heat and Serve (Oven): Heat  oven to 400 degrees. Place frozen, aluminum foil wrapped burritos onto a baking sheet and cook for 35-50 minutes or until the burrito filling is warm and the cheese is melted. 

How To Heat and Serve (Microwave): Remove the foil from the burrito. Wrap burrito in a damp paper towel  and microwave for about 2 minutes or until filling is warmed through. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your burrito and your specific microwave.
