No reviews

Egg burritos are a quick, protein-packed breakfast option filled with eggs, veggies, cheese, and savory meats, all wrapped in warm tortillas. Perfect for meal prep, they can be frozen and reheated for a convenient grab-and-go meal.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 burritos

Ingredients

10 large eggs

½ tablespoon olive oil

½ cup diced onion

1 cup shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed

1 cup diced red peppers

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 cup cooked ground sausage

½ cup cooked crumbled beef

1 ¼ cups shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

8 tortilla wraps (8 inch, whole wheat or preferred type)

Instructions

  1. Scramble the eggs in a large skillet. Remove from the pan and keep warm in a covered bowl.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté onion, hash brown potatoes, and red peppers in olive oil for 2-3 minutes until the potatoes are cooked.
  3. Add garlic, sausage, beef, scrambled eggs, and cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas. Roll each, folding in the ends to secure.
  5. Heat a skillet or panini press and brown burritos seam-side down for 30-60 seconds per side.
  6. Serve immediately or cool and freeze for later. To freeze, place burritos seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, freeze for 1 hour, then store in freezer bags.
  7. To reheat, wrap a burrito in a damp paper towel and microwave 1-2 minutes, or reheat in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side.

Notes

  • Make-ahead friendly: freeze burritos for up to 3 months.
  • Vegetarian version: omit meat and add spinach, mushrooms, or black beans.
  • Customize with different cheeses or tortilla types.
  • Add jalapeños or chili powder for extra spice.
  • Best reheated in microwave with damp paper towel or in a skillet for a crispier texture.
