These easy freezer-friendly breakfast burritos are quick to prepare, customizable, and perfect for busy mornings. Made with fluffy scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage, and veggies wrapped in warm tortillas, they freeze well and reheat quickly for a convenient, hearty breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, beaten (room temperature preferred)
  • 8-inch whole wheat or flour tortillas
  • Shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild), about 2 tablespoons per burrito
  • Cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (optional, about 2 tablespoons per burrito)
  • Diced bell peppers (red or green), about 2 tablespoons per burrito
  • Chopped onions (yellow or white), about 2 tablespoons per burrito
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or butter, for cooking
  • Salsa or hot sauce (optional, for serving or adding inside)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage and veggies: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté diced onions and bell peppers until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, beat 6 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until combined.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in the skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until fluffy and just set, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/3 cup (80 ml) of scrambled eggs onto the center.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of cooked sausage, followed by 2 tablespoons of sautéed veggies.
  7. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons (20 g) of shredded cheddar cheese. Add a small spoonful of salsa if desired.
  8. Wrap it up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other.
  9. Wrap each burrito in foil or parchment paper to keep them secure.
  10. Freeze: Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  11. Reheat: To eat, unwrap the burrito and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on high, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until heated through. Let cool slightly before eating.

Notes

Do not overcook the eggs; cook gently until just set to avoid rubbery texture after freezing. Let cooked sausage and veggies cool before assembling to prevent sogginess. Wrap burritos tightly to maintain shape and prevent freezer burn. Warm tortillas slightly if stiff before filling for easier folding. Burritos keep well up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw overnight in fridge for best flavor before reheating.
