Your plans for breakfast meal prep just got a lot easier! These freezer breakfast burritos are not only easy to make but will last you for months. Filled with eggs, breakfast sausage, and peppers, they’re the best way to start your busy day.
Add 1 TBSP olive oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium-high. When hot, add the bell pepper and onion and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until beginning to soften.
Add the sausage, chili powder, cumin and garlic powder and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned.
Transfer the browned meat and vegetables to a large bowl and drain off any excess liquid. Allow to cool slightly.
Return the skillet to medium-low heat and add the remaining 1 TBSP olive oil. Once hot, add the whisked eggs and salt and pepper. Scramble until just barely cooked. Then, add the eggs to the bowl with the sausage and stir to combine.
Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds.
To assemble:
Sprinkle each tortilla with cheese, then top with the meat-egg mixture.
Wrap your burritos by folding the sides over, wrapping from the bottom and tucking in the sides.
To store:
Wrap each burrito tightly in parchment paper or foil, then store in a freezer bag. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Heating
From the fridge:
To bake: 350 for 15-20 minutes.
To air fry: Air fry at 350F for 6-10 minutes, or until the burritos are crispy and golden brown.
From the freezer:
For the best results, allow the burritos to thaw overnight in the fridge, then cook as directed above. If necessary to cook from frozen, air fry at 250-degrees for 30 minutes, then increase the temperature to 350-degrees and cook for 2-3 minutes, until crispy. Or, bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes.
