Units
Scale
- Flour tortillas: 4 large tortillas (about 8-10 inches in diameter)
- Eggs: 6 large eggs
- Breakfast sausage (or bacon): 1/2 lb (about 225g) of sausage or 6 slices of bacon
- Shredded cheese: 1 cup (about 4 oz / 115g) of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- Fresh veggies (bell peppers, onions, spinach, etc.):
- 1 small bell pepper (diced)
- 1/2 medium onion (diced)
- 1 cup fresh spinach (optional, can use more or less)
- Optional: 1/2 cup mushrooms, diced (or other vegetables you like)
- Salsa (optional): 2-3 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Cook Your Breakfast Meat:
- Brown breakfast sausage or cook bacon in a pan. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute with veggie sausage. Drain any excess fat after cooking.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- Whisk eggs and cook them in the same pan. Scramble gently over medium heat until fully cooked but still soft. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Your Veggies:
- Chop your veggies and sauté in a little oil or butter until tender. Remove from pan once done.
- Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay out flour tortillas. Add a layer of scrambled eggs, followed by cooked meat, sautéed veggies, cheese, and optional salsa. Don’t overstuff.
- Wrap and Freeze:
- Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll tightly. Wrap in foil or parchment paper and freeze in a storage container for later use.
Notes
- Ensure ingredients are not too wet to prevent sogginess in the burritos. Drain excess moisture from veggies or meats.
- Double wrap burritos with foil and plastic wrap for longer freezer storage.
- Burritos can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
