Scramble eggs, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Start by adding the eggs to the center of the tortilla.

How to Freeze Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos

To freeze, wrap each individual burrito in plastic wrap tightly to ward off freezer burn. Place wrapped burritos in a freezer safe ziploc bag. Label and date each one before placing in the freezer for up to 3 months. 

What to Serve with Breakfast Burritos

Breakfast burritos can be served with a variety of accompaniments. ​​Some of our favorites include hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, applesauce, Hash Browns, fruit salad or yogurt.

How do you reheat frozen breakfast burritos?

When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and either cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until heated through or place on a baking sheet in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until warmed throughout. 

For best results, when warming up from frozen, let the burritos defrost in the fridge the night before. But if you forget, remove from plastic wrap, wrap a damp paper towel around the frozen burrito, and microwave for 1 min. This will steam the burrito as it heats up and the tortilla won’t be hard.
Burritos will be good for up to 3 weeks in the freezer.
