Our Breakfast Burritos recipe is the ultimate make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings. Packed with eggs, sausage, cheese, and your favorite fillings, they reheat perfectly and make breakfast quick, hearty, and stress-free.
Breakfast Burritos that are ready to roll, and freezer-friendly!
These Breakfast Burritos are one of those meals I'm always grateful to have stocked in my freezer (right alongside our favorite Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches and Healthy Muffins). They’re protein-packed, hearty, and just plain DELICIOUS! My kids love them before school, they can be taken to work to heat up, or even for camping trips.
I like to make my own turkey sausage, for extra protein and less fat, and do a mix of egg whites and whole eggs. I also use these Carb Master Tortillas, that are only 110 calories, or I make flour tortillas from scratch.

How to make Breakfast Burritos:
Cook Hashbrowns: Cook hashbrowns in a hot greased skillet for several minutes, undisturbed, until golden and crisp on the bottom. Season with salt and pepper then flip and repeat on the other side. Set aside.
Sauté Veggies and Cook Sausage: Saute bell peppers and onion until tender. Set aside. Add ground sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Scramble Eggs: Whisk eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft scrambled.
Assemble: Sprinkle a big handful of shredded cheese on a tortilla. Add a spoonful of hashbrowns, sausage, veggies, and eggs. (If not eating right away I also add hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, and avocado). Fold tightly into a burrito. Before serving, toast burritos in a hot greased skillet until the tortilla is golden and crisp on all sides.
Freezing and Reheating Instructions:
To Freeze: Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap and place the burritos in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
To Reheat: Thaw in the fridge overnight, or rewarm for 45-60 seconds in the microwave, then toast in a skillet to crisp the tortilla on all sides. Alternately, reheat in the oven at 350 degrees until warmed through.
