These easy loaded breakfast burritos are a quick, flavorful, and freezer-friendly meal prep solution packed with sausage, eggs, cheese, and veggies. Perfect for busy mornings, they reheat quickly and keep well for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

  • Large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • Breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled (spicy or mild)
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Bell peppers, finely diced (red or green)
  • Onion, finely chopped
  • Salsa, your favorite chunky style
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or butter, for sautéing vegetables and cooking eggs

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and crumble in the breakfast sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. Sauté the veggies: In the same skillet, add a teaspoon of olive oil or butter. Toss in diced bell peppers and onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened but not mushy. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
  3. Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs until combined. Pour them into the skillet over low-medium heat and gently scramble until just set but still moist (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
  4. Assemble the filling: Combine cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar, and a few spoonfuls of salsa in a mixing bowl. Stir gently to distribute everything evenly.
  5. Prepare tortillas: Warm each tortilla slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 seconds to make them flexible and easier to roll.
  6. Fill and roll burritos: Spoon about ½ cup (120g) of the filling onto the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form a burrito.
  7. Wrap for freezing: Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place them on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze for 1-2 hours until firm.
  8. Store: Transfer the wrapped burritos into freezer bags or airtight containers. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Do not overcook the eggs to keep them fluffy after freezing. Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking. Drain excess sausage fat to avoid soggy burritos. Freeze burritos on a baking sheet before bagging to prevent sticking. Reheat by microwaving in short intervals flipping halfway or bake wrapped in foil at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
