A warm breakfast sometimes takes too much time in the morning. These breakfast burritos can be made ahead of time and frozen individually. This is a simple recipe that your family will love. Change the types of meat, cheeses or vegetables to your family’s taste to create your own! On a busy morning these can be taken directly out of the freezer and warmed in the microwave for a quick, filling breakfast.
Freezer Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
- 18 eggs
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 onion diced finely
- 1/2 green pepper diced finely
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 lb sausage browned and fat drained, or cooked bacon, copped ham, etc.
- 1/2 of a 26 oz bag frozen hash browns-shredded potatoes
- 2 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded
- salt & pepper to season
- 20 flour tortillas
Instructions
-
Brown the sausage with the onion and pepper until browned.
-
Drain excess fat from pan.
-
Add the butter and the hashed browns and cook until browned.
-
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and milk.
-
Pour egg mixture into the pan with the rest of the ingredients.
-
Cook on Medium-High heat.
-
Season with salt and pepper.
-
Constantly stir until eggs are scrambled like and set. This may take a bit, you are cooking a lot of eggs, so be patient....you don't want to burn them.
-
When eggs are set and scrambled, continue to stir a few minutes to get rid of any wetness.
-
Add cheddar cheese and stir gently.
-
Let cool until just warm and assemble.
-
Warm tortillas in the microwave because you want them soft to work with.(I put 10 on a plate for about 1 1/2 minutes- but your microwave times may vary.)
-
Fill tortillas with egg mixture and tuck the ends in and roll up tightly.
-
If these are all being served right away, you can put in a 9x13 baking dish,sprinkled with more cheese is desired and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. You can serve these with salsa and sour cream.
-
If freezing, you can wrap each burrito in a paper towel individually and then place all burritos in a gallon sized freezer bag. When ready to eat, take out a burrito with paper towel still on, place on microwave safe plate and heat for about 1 1/2 minutes depending on your microwave.
