Breakfast Burrito Ingredients
For the full recipe including all ingredients and measurements, see the recipe card below. These breakfast burritos are such a great answer. They are easy to throw together, and they freeze really well. I have great instructions for reheating them. This is such a great recipe for when you need something that will keep you satisfied throughout your morning as you run out the door.
Tortillas: Large flour tortillas labeled “burrito-sized” are best for holding the delicious sausage burrito filling. Be sure that your tortilla shells are new and unopened for best rolling. Eggs: Scramble the eggs just until set for the best texture. Overcooking can make them rubbery. Sausage: Italian pork sausage brings a savory and slightly spicy flavor to your breakfast burritos. If your family doesn’t eat pork or you want to cut down on some fat, you could use Italian turkey sausage. Mushrooms: Sautéd with the sausage to enhance their flavor. Onion: Adds another great layer of flavor to the burritos. Cheese: Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly and has a better flavor than pre-shredded, so I always recommend buying a block of cheese and shredding it yourself.
Make the eggs. Whisk the eggs with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Pour them into a hot skillet and allow to set for a minute. Pull the edges of the eggs towards the center of the pan and keep doing this until the eggs are light and fluffy. Remove from the heat. Cook the sausage. Add the pork sausage to a different skillet. When it starts to brown, add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent, about five minutes. Put the burrito filling together. Add the scrambled eggs to the skillet with the sausage then add the shredded cheese and stir to combine. Put the burritos together. Divide the mixture amongst the eight tortilla shells and roll the tortilla into burritos. Enjoy or store for later!
Make it vegetarian: Skip the sausage and add vegetarian sausage, black beans, or more veggies. Avocado, diced bell peppers, or spinach would be delicious. Mix up the meat: Replace some or all of the sausage with diced cooked bacon or ham. Add hash browns: Add some hashbrowns or leftover grilled potatoes. Add a sauce: Serve with salsa, taco sauce, or sour cream for dipping or hot sauce if you like a spicy kick.
Reheating Burritos
When you’re ready to enjoy your frozen breakfast burritos, remove the plastic wrap and microwave for three to four minutes. If you are reheating a burrito that has been in the fridge, you could put it in the air fryer for a few minutes to heat up and slightly crisp the tortilla.
