Make-Ahead Freezer Breakfast Burritos
If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I love breakfast foods. Not necessarily at breakfast times, but eggs, bacon, sausages, hashbrowns… I love it all - so why not put it in a burrito? I threw some veggies in there to make it a bit healthier too, don’t worry. Either way, they’re delicious.
The best part is that they freeze and re-heat really well! They’ll keep in the freezer for about a month (I wrapped individually in tinfoil and then into a large Ziploc bag - just remove the tinfoil before microwaving!)
Ingredients
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 bell peppers, diced
1 small white onion, diced
1/2 package maple breakfast sausage, casing removed
4 slices of bacon, chopped
4 hash brown patties (I would’ve preferred to use smaller breakfast potatoes but didn’t have any on hand, if you do, use about 1 1/2 cups)
12 eggs, whisked/scrambled
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt & pepper
red pepper flakes
hot sauce (optional)
10 large flour tortillas
Steps
Preheat your oven to 425F (skip this step if you’re using small breakfast potatoes instead of hash brown patties). Once preheated, bake hash brown patties for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
Heat olive oil in a large pan or pot. Add bell peppers and onions and cook until softened, about 5-10 minutes.
Add bacon & sausage, breaking up the sausage into smaller pieces as it cooks. If you are cooking with small breakfast potatoes, add them in at this point (not shown). Season with salt & pepper.
Once the sausage and bacon are cooked through, add your eggs to the pan (make sure you whisk them well, unlike me lol) - add the shredded cheese
Continue to stir frequently as the eggs cook to thoroughly incorporate all ingredients. Season with salt & pepper. Add red pepper flakes and hot sauce to taste.
If you’re using hash brown patties, once they’re cooked, remove from oven, allow to cool until you can handle them and cut or break into small pieces (they won’t cut nicely, that’s okay). Add them to the pan and stir.
Build your burrito - if you’re eating them right away, top with desired toppings. If freezing, don’t too with any wet ingredients like salsa or hot sauce and allow all ingredients to cool to room temperature before preparing, to avoid them getting soggy.
Wrap in tinfoil and place inside a freezer bag. Burritos will keep for about a month in the freezer.
To reheat: microwave in 30 second intervals until warmed through or, my preferred option to warm in the air fryer for a few minutes at 180 C (I don’t know why my air fryer is in C and my oven in F)
Enjoy!
