Freezer Breakfast Burritos Mornings (Printable)
Prep ahead burritos loaded with scrambled eggs, sausage, peppers, and cheddar for quick mornings anytime.
# 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 - 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 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 and top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
05 - Fold in the sides and roll up each burrito tightly. Allow to cool slightly, then wrap each individually in foil or parchment paper and 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. Alternatively, bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until hot throughout.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- They genuinely taste like they were just made not like reheated leftovers from three weeks ago
- You get eight breakfasts sorted in one 45 minute session which is basically a superpower
02 -
- Let the filling cool before wrapping or condensation will make the tortillas soggy after freezing
- Salt the eggs a little more generously than you think you should because freezing dulls seasoning noticeably
03 -
- Warm the tortillas for 15 seconds in the microwave before filling to prevent cracking during rolling
- Certified gluten free tortillas work perfectly if you need to accommodate dietary restrictions
