Meal Prep Breakfast Burritos
You all know that I’m a huge advocate of easy meal prep recipes like these breakfast burritos. Thanks to the freezer, we can make them ahead, from start to finish, and keep on hand for a meal that’s ready to reheat and eat.
Since they last up to 1 month in the freezer, I recommend doubling the recipe so there’s plenty on hand. Here’s how to make and freeze breakfast burritos for later:
- Prepare the burritos.
- Wrap each burrito with parchment paper.
- Transfer the wrapped burritos to a gallon-size zip bag.
- Refrigerate for 1 week and freeze for up to 1 month.
When you’re ready to eat, reheat them in the microwave until heated through and serve for breakfast or pack in a lunch box.

I love breakfast burritos but they’re a hassle to make until now. Wow I can make them ahead keep some in the fridge for lunch and some in the freezer for a different meal I love that idea.
When I make my breakfast burritos I had about a teaspoon or so of sour cream in the raw eggs and then beat the eggs and sour cream together if I don’t have sour cream around water does it same thing. It seems to make the eggs alot fluffier.
Another thing I like is I’ll cook up breakfast sausage and put it in my burritos. With the cheese and the veggies it’s a complete meal.

My burrito was soggy when it came out of the microwave, anyway to prevent this?
MOMables
was there salsa or other wet ingredients in it?

Can you reheat the frozen ones in the oven? If so, how? Thank you very much!
MOMables
usually at 350F for 10-15 minutes once thawed.
