A couple of weeks ago it occurred to me that instead of focusing so much on freezer meals for dinner, I should do some breakfast freezer meals too.
We are so busy in the mornings that having a go-to meal in the freezer for breakfast would take a lot of the stress out of my day. The first thing I thought of was breakfast burritos. My husband LOVES breakfast burritos and so do my boys. They are easy for the boys to hold and eat and my husband is a burrito fanatic. Here is what I did…
Breakfast Burrito Ingredients
- breakfast sausage
- bacon
- ham
- potatoes
- cheese
- tortillas
- eggs
- milk
- olive oil
- seasoning salt

- Brown the sausage.
- Fry up the ham.

Warm Up Tortillas
Assembling the Burritos
Putting it all together:
- Set up an assembly line with all the ingredients.
- Place the tortillas on a large baking sheet or cutting board.
- Build your burritos – cheese, eggs, potatoes, meat.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla.
- Roll burrito up, making sure the seam is on the bottom and the burrito is tightly rolled.
How To Freeze Breakfast Burritos
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place burritos on the sheet, seam side down.
- Press down on the burritos again lightly making sure that the edges are tucked in.
- Place baking sheet in the freezer for an hour to flash freeze the burritos.
- Remove from freezer and wrap burritos in plastic wrap individually.
- Place in a freezer safe ziploc bag.
I ended up with 24 burritos.
Reheating Breakfast Burritos
- Remove plastic wrap.
- Wrap burrito in wet paper towel.
- Heat for 3 minutes on 50% power.
- Serve with fresh salsa – yummy!
FAQs
- Can these burritos be made vegetarian? Replace the meats with some sautéed peppers and onions.
- I want extra large burritos! Just use larger tortillas and increase the filling accordingly.
- Need even more flavor? Add in some sautéed veggies.
We enjoy these breakfast burritos with some fresh blender salsa or pico de gallo! Yum!
