Freezer Breakfast Burritos (Printable)

Hearty make-ahead burritos with eggs, sausage, veggies, and cheese for quick satisfying mornings.

# What You Need:

→ Meats

01 - 8.8 oz breakfast sausage, casing removed

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
04 - 3.5 oz baby spinach, chopped

→ Eggs & Dairy

05 - 8 large eggs
06 - 1/2 cup milk
07 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
08 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

→ Tortillas

09 - 8 large 10-inch flour tortillas

# How To Make It:

01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, sauté the diced bell pepper and onion until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into the skillet with the vegetables. Scramble gently over medium-low heat until the eggs are just set. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked sausage.
04 - Lay the tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly divide the egg mixture among the tortillas and top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
05 - Fold in the sides and roll up each burrito tightly. Allow to cool slightly, then wrap each individually in foil or parchment paper. Place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
06 - Remove foil, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes from frozen. Alternatively, bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until heated throughout.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They genuinely taste like they were made fresh the morning you eat them
  • You get eight breakfasts sorted in under an hour with almost zero cleanup drama
02 -
  • Let the filling cool before assembling or the tortillas will get soggy and tear when you try to roll them
  • Season the eggs more aggressively than you think you need to because freezing dulls salt and spice noticeably
03 -
  • Sprinkle a little extra cheese right at the fold line to act like glue when it melts
  • If your microwave has a turntable, rotate the burrito halfway through for even heating
