Freezer Breakfast Burritos
Hello! My Man works early in the morning and he has about an hour drive. I don’t know how many times he would call and tell me he already ate his lunch, and it was only 9 or 10 AM. So I decided to start making him things for breakfast that he could eat on his way to work, or when he got hungry after being there for awhile.
One thing he really likes is breakfast burritos. So on Sunday I make some and put them in the freezer. Then he can grab one, microwave it and eat. I like to know he’s not sitting around hungry.
It’s really simple to put these together, and I like knowing he’s fed! I just cook up the filling, wrap it in a tortilla, wrap it in foil and put it in a freezer bag. I always put a little sticker (messages or hearts, etc) on them to make him smile. Yes, I know I’m a dork.
So, if you’d like to make these for a quick, filling and easy breakfast, here’s what you’ll need:
1 dozen eggs
1/4 – 1/2 cup milk
1 pound breakfast sausage (crumbled)
1/2 bag potatoes o’Brien (frozen)
1/4 bag diced red and green bell peppers (frozen)
1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
10-12 flour tortillas (burrito size)
3 TBSP cooking oil
Salt, pepper and Lawry’s seasoned salt to taste
Ok. Let’s do this!
Start by cooking potatoes o’Brien (potatoes with onion, green and red peppers) in a large skillet with about 3 TBSP oil heated to 300°.
Sprinkle with Lawry’s seasoned salt to taste.
Add green and red bell peppers. I add these because I feel like there aren’t quite enough in the potatoes o’Brien.
When potatoes are almost done, add crumbled sausage.
Cook until sausage is browned.
Pour off any excess oil.
Whisk together eggs and milk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Pour eggs into skillet and allow to set.
Scramble the eggs with the potatoes and sausage.
When eggs are done, add cheese.
Remove from heat and allow cheese to melt.
Let the scramble filling completely cool.
Place a tortilla on a piece of foil.
Spoon as much as you’d like of the filling onto the tortilla.
Fold in the ends of the tortilla and roll it burrito style.
Place the burrito seam side down on the foil.
Wrap burrito tightly in foil. I roll mine with the foil turned into a “diamond” shape, with a corner at the top and bottom. I don’t know why I do it that way, but you do it however you want.
Place burrito in a quart sized freezer bag. Remove as much air from the bag as you can when closing.
I insert the heating directions into the bag, and I always add a sticker!
Place in freezer for up to 3 weeks.
To heat the burritos, simply remove the foil, wrap burrito in a damp paper towel (this keeps the tortilla and eggs soft) and microwave for 90 seconds – 2 minutes.
You can use any type of meat that you wish. Ham and bacon are good! You can also add whatever vegetables you prefer. Of course cheddar cheese is just a suggestion, too! A Mexican blend would be delicious. Use what you like!
This will get your week off to a great start! At roughly $1.00 per burrito, it saves you money compared to going to the drive thru. Believe me, these are better for you and better tasting than what you’ll get at a fast food place. You get a lot more per burrito, too!
