Freezer burritos get hard when you reheat. Make these breakfast burrito packs instead! They’re easy to make and reheat much better!

When I usually make breakfast burritos for the freezer, I run into a problem.

Assembling them is just fine. But once I’m ready to eat one, reheating is horrible.

I’ll defrost the burrito for a short while, then I’ll have to microwave it a few more times to get it hot enough to eat. But then the ends of the tortillas are rock hard, and the very middle is still cold. And a lot of times I end up with a soggy burrito.

I suppose I could get the burrito out the night before, but what if I forget?

These Breakfast Burrito Packs are an easy alternative to wrapping whole burritos and freezing them. They have healthy ingredients and make a great addition to your meal plan! Scroll to the bottom of the post to get to the recipe card, or keep reading for more tips and ingredient ideas!

A great meal prep breakfast

I love spending an hour on a Sunday afternoon preparing breakfasts and snacks for the week. It’s never anything huge; but any little thing I can do will help big time during the week.

These healthy breakfast burritos are full of nutritious ingredients, which will help keep you full during those busy mornings.

And they’re easy to heat! My husband John gets to work at 6:00 AM, so he needs a breakfast he can easily pull out and eat. Thinking that early in the morning is not our strong suit, so taking time the day before will save your sanity!

Are breakfast burritos healthy?

As with anything, this all depends on the ingredients you use! For me, a healthy breakfast includes foods that have plenty of protein and are filling enough to last me a few hours.

• If you want extra fiber (Keeps you full longer!), use a whole wheat tortilla instead of a white flour tortilla.
• If you want less fat, use a low-fat cheese or turkey sausage, or other types of lean proteins.
• If you want extra nutrients, add some veggies!

Whether your goal is weight loss or even just a healthier lifestyle, breakfast burritos can be a great way to add nutrition to your diet.

Ingredients

Eggs

Milk

Ground sausage (Pork sausage or turkey sausage would work)

Flour tortillas

Shredded cheddar cheese

Other additions/substitutions

Eggs: Use egg whites instead if you want less fat, or use an egg substitute

Black beans or pinto beans, for a vegetarian breakfast burrito

Cheese: Any kind of cheese would work great in this!

Fresh vegetables: Green peppers, red peppers, mushrooms, roasted sweet potatoes, hash browns

How to make

Whisk together the eggs and milk.

Add the uncooked sausage to a large nonstick skillet and cook fully on medium heat.

Pour the egg mixture into a different pan and scramble.

Combine the cooked eggs and sausage together and let cool for 30 minutes.

Add a half cup scoop of mixture to 10 sandwich bags and add 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.

Roll up the bags, place on a baking sheet and put in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer the bags to a gallon-size freezer bag to help prevent freezer burn.

How to store

You can store these burrito packs in a few different ways. I’ve done all of them and they all work well!

• Freeze individually in small sandwich-size bags
• Pour individual burrito filling in a small airtight container and freeze or place in the fridge
• Add to the tortillas! Place the mixture in the middle of the tortilla and wrap tightly, closing both ends. Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and place in a gallon-sized freezer bag in the fridge or freezer.

How to reheat

If the burrito mixture is frozen, let it defrost in the fridge overnight. Then microwave in 30-second increments until hot, and add to your tortilla.

To heat from frozen, use the Defrost setting on the microwave and stop every 30 seconds to stir.

What to serve with it

You can add a ton of different toppings to breakfast burritos!

• Sour cream
• Salsa
• Hot sauce
• Avocado or guacamole

And side items can include:

• Fresh fruit
• Cottage cheese
• A baked good, like muffins

Honestly, I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And why not fill it with something nutritious like a make-ahead breakfast like this?
