Why You’ll Love This Make-Ahead Breakfast Burrito

They’re not only delicious and hearty, but they also solve the “what’s for breakfast?” dilemma in one swoop. You get a perfect balance of protein, carbs, and fats to keep you full and focused. Making a big batch ahead of time means you’ll save money, reduce stress, and skip the drive-thru. Plus, they’re freezer-friendly for up to 3 months and reheat beautifully.

Can I Freeze Breakfast Burritos With Eggs In Them?

Absolutely. Scrambled eggs freeze really well, especially when they’re cooked with a bit of dairy like milk or cheese to retain moisture. Just be sure not to overload your burritos with watery ingredients like tomatoes or raw greens. Let everything cool before rolling and wrapping tightly in foil or plastic to avoid freezer burn.

Ingredients for the Effortless Tasty Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos

Every great burrito starts with a simple lineup of ingredients that work in harmony to deliver flavor and texture. Here’s what you need to bring it all together:

Tortillas
A sturdy, soft flour tortilla is your best bet here. Go for 10-inch burrito-size tortillas that are flexible enough to roll without tearing.

Eggs
The star protein of the dish. Scrambled lightly with a touch of milk, they provide that soft, fluffy base that holds everything together.

Breakfast Sausage
Adds hearty, savory flavor with just the right amount of fat. You can also use bacon or a meatless crumble.

Shredded Cheese
Cheddar or a blend like Monterey Jack melts into the fillings, giving it that gooey, irresistible bite.

Hash Browns
Crispy potatoes add crunch and a comforting, hearty texture that balances out the softness of the eggs.

Bell Peppers and Onions (Optional)
Add color, sweetness, and a subtle crunch for extra texture and nutrition.

Milk
Used in the scrambled eggs to help them stay creamy after reheating.

Salt and Pepper
Seasoning matters. A light sprinkle enhances the natural flavors of every ingredient.

How To Make the Effortless Tasty Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos

Step 1: Cook the Fillings

In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, add diced bell peppers and onions (if using) and sauté until softened. Set aside.

Step 2: Scramble the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into the skillet and cook over medium heat until just set. Don’t overcook—they’ll finish cooking when reheated later.

Step 3: Cook the Hash Browns

In a separate skillet or oven, cook the hash browns until crispy and golden. You can also use store-bought frozen ones to save time.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

Lay out a tortilla. Spoon on eggs, sausage, veggies, hash browns, and cheese. Don’t overstuff! Fold in the sides and roll up tightly.

Step 5: Wrap and Store

Wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 6: Reheat and Enjoy

When ready to eat, unwrap and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes (or heat in a toaster oven) until heated through. Let cool slightly and dig in.

How to Store and Serve These Burritos

This recipe makes 8 to 10 burritos, depending on how full you stuff them. Store wrapped burritos in the freezer and simply pull out one when you need it. They reheat well in the microwave or oven, making them ideal for busy mornings or after-school snacks. If you’d like, serve them with a side of salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
