Easy breakfast burritos
You can make your breakfast burritos and eat them right away, however I love this recipe because it's easy to make and easy to freeze for later. Once you make your breakfast burritos, freeze them and they'll be ready when you want to reheat them.
Reheating Tips:
- If the burritos are frozen, I pop them in the microwave, still wrapped in plastic wrap, and cook for 1-1.5 minutes. Let it cool for a minute to avoid any kind of steam burns.
- If the burritos have just been in the fridge, I would heat them up in the microwave, also covered, for about 45 seconds.
- The center should be thoroughly heated.
Note: Some people have asked about using something other than plastic. I keep the plastic on to the moisture stays inside the burrito and the tortilla stays soft. You could heat up the burritos in some kind of a container with a lid for the same result. A small casserole dish with a lid in the microwave OR aluminum foil in the oven should do the trick. I'm not a fan of freezing aluminum foil, but if you like it better than plastic wrap, it should work fine!
I like to store the burritos in a plastic tub. I make up a batch on the weekend and I put them in the freezer so they are easy to find for the kids the rest of the week. You can do the same thing with your regular burritos for lunches and cook ahead dinners too!
Recommended Supplies for Breakfast Burritos Made Easy
I use basic supplies I already have. I cook everything up in a large skillet, wrap up all the burritos and then place them in a casserole dish when I want to take them to the game or whatever activity. Here are some suggestions you can pick up if you don't have all the supplies already. The carrying case is on my own wish list… right now I'm just walking around with a casserole dish wrapped in a towel, ha!

Hi! I’m assuming bacon will work just the same as sausage? Can’t wait for this. I make homemade salsa and love breakfast burritos with salsa.
I think bacon would be amazing! Did you try it out? For bacon, I would cook up the bacon by itself first, and then add the other ingredients to it so that the mixture soaks up that yummy bacon flavor but you get crispy bites of bacon too.
Adds
Spinach
Roasted peppers
Sounds delicious!
Approximately how many burritos does this recipe make?
I can usually get about 6 burritos made with this, but just add more eggs and sausage for more burritos. (Or use smaller tortillas) Enjoy!
Y’all I just made this yesterday for my husband because he’s always buying gas station food for breakfast ? and MY GOD! ? y’all I did everything the same but added diced onions, diced green pepper, diced red pepper and a can of rotel with the green chiles in it and I got 16 burritos! Monay! ? I snagged some this morning to try and… They are to die for. ? try em! It’s worth the extra effort.
We are going camping can’t wait to put these together and take them with me
We love breakfast burritos. Thanks for the recipe
How long do they keep in the freezer
Ours don’t last very long because my boys eat them up pretty quick, but I think 1-2 weeks in the freezer would definitely work!
I was buying your breakfast sandwich from freezer. cheese and bacon. now I cant find them. where can I buy them?
I’m sorry Pat, I don’t sell the breakfast burritos, I am sharing the recipe so you can make them yourself if you’d like.
I made this, and my family and I love it! We will be revisiting this dish again and again. Thank you!
2keep warm for an outing: Heat up your empty cooler with heating pads or heated dry towels. Fill up cooler with space for your burritos.. … container or stored in a plastic bag.. they will stay safely warm up to 4 hours.
Great suggestions, thank you so much for sharing!
Would parchment paper be a happy medium between the plastic and foil? I’m nervous with the kids microwaving plastic wrap. Does it not melt?
Thoughts?
And thank you for the delish dish idea!!!
Hi Chanda, Parchment paper might work, but it’s more difficult to hold in place for a burrito. (Unless you have a trick you’d like to share!). I use the Press And Seal plastic wrap. It doesn’t melt at all, just be careful or steam while unwrapping. Let me know how that works.
Hi great idea can you eat these cold like if taken in a lunch cooler then eaten. I don’t mind cold stuff I wrap everything for lunches
Great idea! I don’t mind cold food either… especially if it’s got some great flavor. You could add all your favorite spices to make them extra delicious.
