  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 burritos

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large flour tortillas (preferably whole wheat for healthier options)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or cooked bacon strips
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
  • 1/2 cup cooked hash browns or breakfast potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sautéed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: salsa, avocado slices, hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Scramble the eggs in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Cook the breakfast sausage or bacon until crispy. Chop into small pieces and set aside.
  3. Sauté diced bell peppers, onions, and spinach until tender. Prepare hash browns or breakfast potatoes until crispy.
  4. Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for easier rolling.
  5. Place a large tortilla on a clean surface. Add a scoop of scrambled eggs, followed by protein, vegetables, and cheese. Add salsa or avocado if desired.
  6. Fold in the sides and roll from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling. Wrap each burrito tightly with foil or plastic wrap.
  7. Wrap individual burritos in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Place in an airtight container or resealable freezer bags. Label with the date.

Notes

  • Ensure to drain excess moisture from cooked vegetables to avoid sogginess.
  • Use high-quality tortillas for durability and flavor.
  • Double-wrap if planning to store longer than one month.
  • Feel free to customize fillings with different proteins or vegetables.
