Freezer Breakfast Burritos (Print)
Make-ahead burritos stuffed with scrambled eggs, sausage, veggies, and melted cheddar, ready from the freezer in minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Meats
01 - 8.8 oz breakfast sausage, casing removed
→ Vegetables
02 - 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 small yellow onion, diced
04 - 3.5 oz baby spinach, chopped
→ Eggs & Dairy
05 - 8 large eggs
06 - ½ cup milk
07 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
08 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
→ Tortillas
09 - 8 large 10-inch flour tortillas
# How To Make It:
01 - Crumble breakfast sausage into a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, cook diced bell pepper and onion until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
03 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour into the skillet with vegetables and scramble gently over medium-low heat until just set. Remove from heat and fold in the cooked sausage.
04 - Lay tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly divide the egg and sausage mixture among the tortillas, then top each with shredded cheddar cheese.
05 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly. Let burritos cool slightly, then wrap each individually in foil or parchment paper. Place in a freezer-safe bag or container.
06 - From frozen, remove foil, wrap in a paper towel, and microwave on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes until heated throughout.

02 -
- Let the filling cool before wrapping or condensation will make the tortillas soggy in the freezer

03 -
- Warm the tortillas for fifteen seconds in the microwave before filling to prevent cracking when you roll
- Press the filling tightly together before wrapping so the burrito holds its shape in the freezer
