What You’ll Need

You might just have some of these breakfast burritos ingredients already on hand! A full list of ingredients with measurements for this recipe is available in the printable recipe card below.

• Bulk sausage – You want to make sure to cook all the way through, and then set aside on a paper towel lined plate to remove excess oil and moisture. you can also use breakfast sausage.
• Eggs – Always assume a recipe is calling for large eggs. For even more protein, try adding in cottage cheese.
• Whole milk – You can really use any percent of milk fat here. I just like the texture it gives the scrambled eggs.
• Seasonings – I used a simple blend of coarse kosher salt, ground black pepper and dry ground mustard to season my eggs.
• Flour tortillas – I find that flour tortillas hold up the best when folded into a burrito. But if you try corn tortillas, let me know in the comments!
• Shredded hash browns – You want these to be cooked according to package directions. I like mine a little crispy.
• Cheddar cheese – I prefer freshly shredded I monterey jack cheese or cheddar cheese, but you can use whichever type you prefer.
• Pico de gallo – You can either serve this on the side for dipping or add it straight to your burrito.
• Toppings – I like to top my burritos with fresh avocado, cilantro and salsa, but all are optional. Choose your favorite toppings!

1. Cook sausage. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook until cooked. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and set aside.
2. Whisk eggs, milk and seasonings. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper and dry mustard.
3. Cook eggs. Pour the eggs into the same hot skillet and cook through. Remove from the heat.
4. Assemble. Assemble the burritos by layering the hash browns, egg mixture, topping with the cheese, pico de gallo and avocado, if desired.
5. Roll, fold and sear. Roll up tightly, folding in both ends and sear on both sides in the hot skillet.
6. Serve with favorite toppings. Serve immediately with your desired toppings.

Make It A Meal

We eat these breakfast burritos as a meal by themselves! But you can certainly pair it with other things to make it a well rounded meal.

Try serving your burritos with a fresh fruit salad. You could also serve with a yogurt parfait or smoothie bowl. If you’re really trying to hit your protein goals, some extra scrambled eggs or bacon couldn’t hurt!

Storage and Freezing

There really is no right or wrong way to heat these up. Just make sure they are warm in the middle. You do not want to take a big frozen bite of burrito, that would not be fun.

How to Store

These breakfast burritos will last in the fridge for about 3 days. If you’re a small family and won’t eat a lot, I would make a ½ dozen at a time. If you’re a large family, you can double or triple this recipe.

Can I Freeze Breakfast Burritos?

If you’re wanting to freeze them, it’s very simple. Just make sure you’re freezing only the ingredients that are truly freezable. In my experience, it’s harder for items like tomatoes and avocado to be frozen. You can always add these in when it’s time for them to be warmed up!

Also, make sure they’re in proper freezer containers, proper to freezing. Burritos can easily become freezer burnt if they aren’t stored properly. No one likes to crave a delicious breakfast burrito, only to find out that they are freezer burnt.
