Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

large flour tortillas
large eggs
milk
salt
black pepper
olive oil or butter
breakfast sausage
shredded cheddar cheese
bell peppers, diced
onion, diced
hash browns or diced cooked potatoes
fresh salsa (optional)

Directions

I start by heating olive oil or butter in a skillet and sautéing diced bell peppers and onion until softened.
If I’m using sausage, I cook it in the skillet until browned and fully cooked.
In a bowl, I whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
I scramble the eggs gently in a skillet over medium heat until just set, being careful not to overcook them.
I warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
I layer scrambled eggs, cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables, hash browns, and shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla.
I fold in the sides and roll each burrito tightly.
I wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper.
I place them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze.

To reheat:

I remove the foil and microwave the burrito for 1–2 minutes if thawed, or 2–3 minutes if frozen, flipping halfway through. I can also reheat them in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

Servings and Timing

This recipe typically makes 8 burritos.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

Variations

I sometimes add black beans for extra protein and fiber. If I want a spicier option, I include diced jalapeños or hot sauce inside.

For a lighter version, I use turkey sausage and whole wheat tortillas. I also enjoy adding spinach or avocado just before serving.

storage/reheating

I store the wrapped burritos in the freezer for up to 2 months.

When reheating, I prefer microwaving for convenience, but I sometimes finish them in a skillet for a crispy exterior. Effortless & Tasty Freezer Breakfast Burritos

FAQs

Can I freeze burritos with salsa inside?

I prefer serving salsa fresh to prevent the burritos from becoming soggy.

How do I prevent them from getting soggy?

I let the cooked ingredients cool completely before assembling and wrapping.

Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs?

Yes, I can substitute egg whites if I want a lighter option.

Should I thaw them before reheating?

I can reheat directly from frozen, but thawing overnight in the refrigerator shortens the reheating time.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Yes, I simply skip the meat and add more vegetables or beans.

Conclusion

I truly enjoy making these freezer breakfast burritos because they make mornings easier without sacrificing flavor. They’re hearty, customizable, and convenient to have on hand. Whenever I want a stress-free breakfast option that still feels homemade, this is the recipe I love to prepare.
