Ingredients
  

  • 8 large flour tortillas burrito size
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage or 1 can black beans, drained
  • 1 cup frozen diced potatoes or leftover hash browns
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 cup diced bell peppers or onions

Method
 

  1. Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat (5–7 mins), then drain excess fat.
  2. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.
  3. Pour eggs into a nonstick skillet, scramble until just set (2–3 mins).
  4. Cook frozen potatoes according to package directions (or sauté fresh ones).
  5. Lay tortillas flat, divide sausage, eggs, potatoes, cheese, and optional veggies evenly among them.
  6. Fold in sides, then roll tightly like a burrito.
  7. Let burritos cool completely before wrapping individually in foil or parchment paper.
  8. Place wrapped burritos in a zip-top freezer bag, remove air, and seal.

Notes

  • To reheat from frozen: microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 1.5–2 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • For crispy oven reheat: unwrap, bake at 375°F for 15–18 minutes from frozen.
  • Avoid adding salsa or sour cream before freezing (add after reheating to prevent sogginess).
  • Burritos last 3 months in the freezer.
  • Label the bag with the date and “breakfast burrito” for easy identification.
