By now it isn't a secret that I do not like to make breakfast. Well, first thing in the morning that is.

I am all for making a batch of Banana Oatmeal Pancakes or these Green Chile Egg Taquitosin the AFTERNOON and freezing them for the following day or week. My brain just does not wake up early enough to be cooking on a hot stove or cutting things with a sharp knife.

Although, with our kids getting older, I am realizing that I need to start doubling the batches of food that I am freezing. I make these Banana Pancakes and freeze them for the week. Then the kids eat pancakes for breakfast, and in two days those pancakes are gone.

Egg Burritos

We had some sausage to use up last week, so I added it to scrambled eggs, peppers, hash browns, bacon, and cheese to make a batch of the best breakfast burritos.

Each burrito is a full meal. I stuffed each tortilla with a healthy portion of scrambled eggs. Eggs have a high-quality protein that helps keep you fuller longer. This also means more energy longer into the day. Our kids need this energy and protein to keep them from being hungry while they are in school.

Did you also know that eggs can help form muscle tissue, build muscle strength, and repair muscles after working out? Sounds to me like I should be preparing more eggsfor our hungry kiddos to start their mornings with.

Add filling the fridge with more freezer friendly breakfast burritos to my to do list.

What You'll Need

  • Eggs - one dozen eggs makes 12 burritos
  • Oil - to saute in
  • Veggies - onions, peppers, shredded hash browns
  • Garlic - for flavor
  • Meat - crumbled cooked sausage and crispy bacon
  • Cheese - shredded cheddar
  • Tortillas - 8 inch flour shells

How to make Loaded Egg Burritos

Let's get started and make some easy breakfast wraps. I love that the breakfast burrito filling comes together just by using one pan. Make a double batch of these egg burritos. One to eat now and one to freeze for later.

  2. Sauté the onion, peppers, and hash browns in a little bit of oil.

  4. Divide the egg mixture evenly onto 12 tortillas.
  5. Roll up making sure to tuck the ends in as you go.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate or freeze for later.

    doing food prep today and this is a great idea! do you let the eggs and other fillings completely cool before wrapping them in the tortilla?

    • Jocelyn

      We usually roll them up while everything is warm. Let them cool that way if you are going to freeze them though.

    These are really good for camping too! I wrapped each burrito in heavy duty aluminum foil before stuffing them into the plastic bags. Then into the cooler & we just threw them directly into the fire in the morning. Make sure to rotate & turn them so they don't burn. When they start to puff up, they're done. Everyone loved them!

    I also added a can of cream of mushroom soup to make them extra creamy inside.

    I prefer not to use microwaves. Do you know if these would heat up well in the oven or on the stove?

    Reply

    • Jocelyn

      I think they would be fine to heat up in the oven. Maybe thaw them first, then heat until warmed through. I haven't done it this way, so I can't give you an exact time. Keep me posted on how it works for you!

  5. Kelly

    So, I hate my microwave. Could these be frozen, thawed overnight, and heated in the oven?

    Reply

    • Jocelyn

      I don't see why not. You just need to heat them long enough to get hot through the center.

    These are very good, but definitely took longer than 20 min to make. They were worth it though.

    Thanks so much!

    I will definitely make this over the weekend. I'm going to switch it up a little, because of personal preferences, and use ham instead of the sausage. I think it will still be YUMMY!!!

    Amazing how much kids can eat as they get older, hunh? Love the idea of freezing things, so breakfast items don't have to be made every day and the kids aren't just eating cereal.
    These burritos look and sound delicious and I know my son would love them!
