Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Breakfast Burrito Recipes

Time 54m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (12 ounce) package bacon
10 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes with peppers and onion (such as Ore-Ida® Potatoes O'Brien®)
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
10 large flour tortillas
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup salsa, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bits. Keep skillet warm.
  • Whisk eggs, milk, and salt together in a bowl. Pour into the hot skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen potatoes, garlic salt, and pepper. Fry until browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 4 to 5 minutes more. Let cool.
  • Cut 10 squares of aluminum foil slightly larger than the tortillas. Lay 1 tortilla on each square; evenly distribute Cheddar cheese on top. Add eggs, bacon, salsa, and potatoes to each tortilla, in that order. Tightly roll the burritos, tucking tops and bottoms in first.
  • Wrap aluminum foil tightly around each burrito, covering it completely. Place in resealable plastic bags in a single layer. Remove as much air as possible from the bags before sealing. Store in the freezer until ready to reheat.
  • Reheat by removing the aluminum foil, placing the burrito on a microwave-safe plate, and topping it with a paper towel. Heat in the microwave until evenly warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Tips

  • Meal prep ahead: Prepare the burritos in advance and store them in the freezer for a quick and easy breakfast option during busy mornings.
  • Customize the fillings: Feel free to mix and match the fillings according to your preferences. Some popular additions include diced bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, or crumbled tofu.
  • Make it a vegetarian or vegan option: For a meatless version, replace the ground sausage with plant-based alternatives such as crumbled tempeh, tofu, or lentils.
  • Control the spice level: Adjust the amount of diced jalapeño pepper according to your desired level of spiciness.
  • Freeze the burritos properly: Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. This will prevent freezer burn and help maintain the burritos' freshness.
