Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos
These hearty Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos are great for busy mornings. They’re freezer-friendly and filled with sausage, hash browns, peppers, eggs, and cheese.
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground breakfast sausage
1 ½ cup frozen cubed hash browns
¼ cup yellow onion finely diced
¼ cup green or red bell pepper or a combination, finely diced
8 large eggs lightly beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Mexican or Monterey jack cheese
8 each, 10-inch flour tortillas
COOK BURRITO FILLINGS:
Heat oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until simmering.
Cook hash browns until golden brown, then remove them from the pan onto a paper towel-lined plate.
Add sausage, onion, and peppers to the skillet and cook until no pink remains. Drain off the grease.
Add the hash browns back to the pan.
Pour the lightly beaten eggs into the skillet and cook until they are set, stirring frequently.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the burrito filling from the heat.
ASSEMBLE BURRITOS:
Heat each tortilla in the microwave for 8-10 seconds to make it easier to roll.
Spoon the filling onto the bottom ⅓ of each tortilla.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Fold the sides and then the ends over and roll up the burrito as tightly as possible.
Serve immediately or freeze the burritos. (See freezing and reheating instructions in the notes below).
TO FREEZE:
Wrap the burritos in foil or parchment paper. Add to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
TO REHEAT:
Place 1 burrito on a microwave-safe plate or dish and cook for 2 minutes or until heated through. Let rest for 30 seconds before eating.
