How to Make Make-Ahead Freezer Breakfast Burritos

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes

Heat a little oil in a skillet and cook the diced potatoes or hash browns until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Meat

In the same pan, cook your breakfast sausage or bacon until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then cook them over low heat, stirring gently until just set. Avoid overcooking so they stay soft when reheated.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

Lay out the tortillas and layer on the scrambled eggs, cooked meat, crispy potatoes, and shredded cheese. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.

Step 5: Wrap and Freeze

Wrap each burrito in foil or parchment paper, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
