They're super simple and customizable.
Ingredients
15 eggs
Whatever you use to flavor eggs - I use garlic powder, onion salt, & dry mustard
1 pound pork sausage or ground meat of choice
2 small or 1 large can diced green chiles
Finely shredded cheese
burrito size tortillas (two packs of eight, I typically get 12-14 burritos out of this depending on how heavy handed I am in filling them)
Instructions
Brown meat until cooked through. Drain and set aside. do not clean pan, use it for eggs.
Beat eggs well. Pour into greased, warm non-stick pan and add spices. Scramble, adding diced green chiles about halfway through. When eggs have reached desired consistency, set aside to cool.
Lay tortillas out on clean surface. Lay down a little cheese, top with some egg, add some sausage, bam. Roll up into a burrito and secure in wrap.
Continue until the egg mixture is gone.
Stack wrapped burritos in a gallon-size freezer bag and freeze. To prepare, unwrap burrito and place on microwave safe plate with the folded side down. Heat in microwave for 30-45 seconds, flip over, and heat for another 30-45 seconds.
Sometimes I look at my calendar and see very little time for food prep. So I need to make adjustments. One of those adjustments is using a weekend where I have more time to do some make ahead meals I can freeze. For breakfast, my favorite freezable option is the breakfast burrito.

ahhh, you got recipage to work! yay!
ReplyDeleteI make these every once in awhile, but usually just for Scott and/or if we have company. I froze some once and then definitely forgot about them.
Snowed in right now and wishing I was eating that for breakfast LOL! xo, Biana - BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteI have never really made ahead meals and frozen them, but I love the idea. This looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteYes to anything that combines Mexican and breakfast food!
ReplyDeleteMaking the burritos ahead of time is such a great idea. I do it all the time with extra pancakes, but I never thought of doing it with egg dishes. If Jimmy Dean can do it, so can I. Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to make a bunch and freeze them. I'm going to have to see when I can do this and try it out!!
ReplyDeletei have been trying to find a way to make my recipes printable! I feel like the heavens have parted for me today hahaha
ReplyDeleteThose look yummy! That's great that you are so organized with your meal planning. I wish I could get my act together and start so I'm not just grabbing a NutriGrain Bar.
ReplyDeleteA good friend of mine, Lane at supperforasteal.com, has a few make ahead breakfasts like this on her site. I make egg muffins a lot and freeze but these burritos look wayyyy good (also, I am sort of over the egg muffins, lol), so I need to try some variation for sure!
ReplyDeleteUmmm this is just plain brilliant. yum.
ReplyDeleteCan you come live withme and be my chef? Seriously, you are amazing. Steve and I had your beef barley veggie soup for dinner last night, and it was perfect and filling and hearty and delicious. We plan on having leftovers for our snow day lunch with some crusty bread!
ReplyDeleteI love breakfast burritos especially ones that are super easy like that to grab and go in the morning! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea!! I also need to learn how to make printable recipe cards for my blog. Still haven't managed it lol!
ReplyDeleteI love freezer burritos. I usually make a lunch option with beans and quinoa. It's seriously so easy!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to try doing something like this and prepping my breakfasts for the week other than boiled eggs. looks good!
ReplyDeleteYum, I love breakfast burritos! I *finally* found tortillas that don't have soy in them, too...at Trader Joe's. Guess whose mother sends her air mail groceries... ;)
ReplyDeleteI need to make some of these -- breakfast burritos are my hubby's fav breakfast, but he hardly ever eats bfast bc he claims he doesn't have time. (I disagree, but anyway...) Maybe if he could grab these and reheat at work, he would eat? (Also I love not having a cooking mess to clean up in the morning.)
ReplyDeleteYUM! Perfect for on the go weekday breakfasts :)
ReplyDeleteI can't eat burritos, womp womp - but I have been wanting to try these for KC. I've seen ones that have black beans in them, but I'm too scared to try in case they turn out bad. Might have to make these ones first! and yay for printable recipes!
ReplyDeleteOMG, that haiku. I think it's one of my favorites you've done.
ReplyDeleteI love a good breakfast burrito. I typically use eggs, peppers, onions, cheese, and bacon. So delicious. I think I need to make some this weekend.
Printable recipes? Well aren't we Iggy?! (Fancy, duh!) I need more coffee....
ReplyDeleteAnyways, breakfast burritos sound so fun and easy! I am on this kick where I hate eggs right now though, so I will pin this and come back when I can stomach them again.
Minus the spinach, they are delicious! I love them for dinner too! Everyone can spice it up their own way!
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe! Being from Texas, breakfast burritos are a huge thing and definitely my favorite make-ahead breakfast.
ReplyDeleteYum, yum yum! We are having breakfast for dinner tonight and this made me extra excited because I realized we have salsa at home too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. This would be wonderful to have in my freezer for kids breakfast too. Grab and go on the way to the bus! I need that printable recipe jazz too. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI used to make and freeze breakfast burritos all the time!! I might have to get back into it. It's so easy to just grab and go!!
ReplyDeleteThis is borderline brilliant!! They look so tasty and I love that it's something you can make ahead!
ReplyDeleteYUMMY!
ReplyDeleteOh man this looks yummy! I feel like I say that on all your food posts but its so true!
ReplyDeleteHow long do you think these could freeze for?
