These easy freezer-friendly breakfast burritos are a quick, convenient, and delicious solution for busy mornings, combining fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and melty cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, beaten (room temperature for fluffiness)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or diced ham
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing)
  • Salsa or hot sauce, optional
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Add cooked sausage or ham and cook for another 2 minutes to warm through.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat 8 large eggs with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into the skillet with sausage and veggies. Stir gently, folding eggs to cook evenly. Remove from heat when eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave or on a dry pan to make them pliable. Lay one tortilla flat and spoon about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture onto the center. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top, add black beans and cilantro if using.
  4. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Wrap each burrito individually with parchment paper or foil. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for 1-2 hours until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
  6. To reheat, unwrap the burrito and microwave on high for about 2 minutes, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, bake in a 350°F oven wrapped in foil for 20-25 minutes until heated through.

Notes

Do not overfill burritos to avoid bursting during reheating. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Cook eggs gently over medium heat to keep them fluffy. Freeze burritos on a baking sheet first to prevent sticking. Wrap individually to avoid freezer burn. Flip burritos halfway when microwaving for even heating.
