Print Recipe

These make-ahead breakfast burritos are perfect for camping or busy mornings, combining savory sausage, fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and veggies wrapped in warm tortillas. They are easy to prepare, portable, and can be frozen for convenience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, beaten, room temperature
  • 1/2 pound (225g) breakfast sausage, ground (mild or spicy)
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 flour tortillas, 8-inch diameter
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup frozen hash browns (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil or butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a large nonstick skillet. Add ground sausage and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add diced bell peppers, onions, and hash browns to the skillet. Sauté until veggies soften and hash browns turn golden, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with milk, salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the skillet with sausage and veggies. Let eggs sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently scramble until just cooked but still soft.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese and chopped cilantro if using.
  6. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them flexible.
  7. Lay one tortilla flat and spoon about 1/3 cup (80g) of the filling down the center. Fold sides in and roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  8. Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil or parchment paper. For freezing, place wrapped burritos in freezer-safe bags, squeezing out air to prevent freezer burn.
  9. To reheat, unwrap foil and warm burrito in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side or microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Notes

Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Drain excess fat from sausage to avoid greasy burritos. Do not overcook eggs initially as they will continue cooking when reheated. Double wrap burritos if freezing to prevent tearing. Burritos can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
