Tips for Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos!

  • You can make them with turkey bacon, bacon or crumbled sausage whichever you prefer
  • Customize your veggies – almost any veggies work here.  I like to use the spinach because it is less work; no chopping and I can fold it into the eggs or put it in raw.
  • Gluten Free: use your favorite gluten free tortilla – Siete Foods makes a burrito size.  Note: you need to warm this up before you roll them.
  • Dairy free use your favorite dairy free cheese!
  • If you prefer breakfast sandwiches over wraps check out my make ahead breakfast sandwiches.
  • If you prefer less carbs check out my turkey bacon, egg and cheese muffins.

Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos

Make your busy mornings easier with these easy make ahead breakfast burritos that are freezer friendly and protein packed!

  • 10 eggs
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 6 burrito size tortillas
  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite blend
  • 1/2 lb or 6-8 slices of turkey bacon (alternative you can do crumbled sausage or regular bacon)
  • 1 – 2 cups veggies (optional – spinach or cooked onions and peppers)

Cook Turkey Bacon – skip if using sausage

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy clean up
  2. Lay out the bacon evenly on the sheet pan
  3. Bake on the bottom rack for 10 minutes.
  4. Rotate pan and move to the top rack and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes

Cook your Eggs + Sausage & Vegetables if Using

  1. Heat a large skillet to medium/high heat. Then grease with olive oil or cooking spray. If using bacon skip to step 3.
  2. If using onions and peppers or breakfast sausage: season with 1/4 tsp of salt and cook them first (can do all 3 together) in the heated skillet until lightly browned and vegetables are soft.
  3. Crack 10 eggs into a medium size bowl and then salt and pepper (optional). Whisk until combined.
  4. Pour eggs into the same heated pan and use a spatula to scramble until fully cooked. Set aside to cool.

Assemble

  1. Lay out a tortilla and scoop about 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs into the center, sprinkle with about 2 tbsp of cheese, crumble a slice of bacon and add veggies if you are using (see photo above). Note if you are using a gluten free tortilla you need to warm them before assembling – they cracked and fell apart if I tried to use them straight from the fridge.

  2. Make your burritos by folding two sides in and then rolling.
  3. Tightly wrap each burrito in Saran Wrap or tin foil, making sure there are no pockets of air. Then, write the name and date on each burrito for later!
  4. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  5. Eat right away or place in a sealed Tupperware or ziplock. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze until you are ready to eat (up to 1 month).

To Reheat:

  1. Unwrap and place on a microwave safe plate.

  2. Place in the microwave for 2 minutes, flipping every minute. Every microwave is a little different so if it is not hot continue to heat for increments of 30 seconds.
