Freezer Breakfast Burritos (Printable Version)

Packed with eggs, sausage, veggies, and cheese, these make-ahead burritos freeze beautifully and reheat fast for busy 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:

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 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, then top each with shredded cheese.
05 - Fold in the sides and roll up each burrito tightly. Allow to cool slightly, then wrap individually in foil or parchment paper. Place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
06 - To serve, remove the 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 Hints:

01 -
  • They reheat so evenly you would swear they were just made if you did not wrap them yourself
  • The sausage fat seasons the eggs from the inside out so every bite tastes rich without extra effort
02 -
  • Let the filling cool before assembling or the steam will make the tortillas soggy and they will tear when you roll
  • Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach after wilting because water is the enemy of a good frozen burrito
03 -
  • Warm the tortillas for fifteen seconds in the microwave before filling to make them pliable enough to roll without cracking
  • Place the cheese on top of the filling rather than under it so it melts into the first bite when you reheat
