How to Make Quick and Easy Breakfast Burritos

Jen Goode · April 21, 2018 · 61 Comments

Hi friends! I have two recipes for easy breakfast burritos you can try.

Turn a skillet full of yummy breakfast food into heat and go quick and delicious breakfast burritos. You can adjust the ingredients to include your own favorites. I like to make a big batch of easy breakfast burritos and then freeze them so the kids can easily have a hot meal first thing in the morning even when we don't have a lot of time. This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes because it's so versatile! I have all kinds of little tricks for cooking meals ahead of time, it's a great way to make meals for the family with a busy schedule!

Easy Breakfast Burritos

I love making these breakfast burritos, they are one of my favorite breakfast recipes. They are so fast and easy to create, I can mix up the ingredients and the kids can even help! I like to make up a big batch and then everyone can grab a hot breakfast every morning without my help, just grab a burrito, pop it in the microwave and heat it up! These recipes also work great with homemade tortillas or even gluten free wraps.

Pick which breakfast burrito recipe you'd like to try:

This might just become your goto breakfast from here on. That said, if you don't want to make your own breakfast burritos… or breakfast at all, I recommend checking yelp for a nearby breakfast stop.  But it might be quicker to just make these burritos and be on your way. I'd love to hear what flavor combinations you come up with!

      I can usually get about 6 burritos made with this, but just add more eggs and sausage for more burritos. (Or use smaller tortillas) Enjoy!

    Y’all I just made this yesterday for my husband because he’s always buying gas station food for breakfast 😷 and MY GOD! 😍 y’all I did everything the same but added diced onions, diced green pepper, diced red pepper and a can of rotel with the green chiles in it and I got 16 burritos! Monay! 💰 I snagged some this morning to try and… They are to die for. 💎 try em! It’s worth the extra effort.

    2keep warm for an outing: Heat up your empty cooler with heating pads or heated dry towels. Fill up cooler with space for your burritos.. … container or stored in a plastic bag.. they will stay safely warm up to 4 hours.

    Would parchment paper be a happy medium between the plastic and foil? I’m nervous with the kids microwaving plastic wrap. Does it not melt?
    Thoughts?
    And thank you for the delish dish idea!!!

      Hi Chanda, Parchment paper might work, but it’s more difficult to hold in place for a burrito. (Unless you have a trick you’d like to share!). I use the Press And Seal plastic wrap. It doesn’t melt at all, just be careful or steam while unwrapping. Let me know how that works.

      September 19, 2016 at 11:11 pm

      Hi! I’m sorry the tortillas are giving you a hard time. A couple things to try: 1. make sure you are using flour tortillas. Flour tortillas tend to be the softest and bend the easiest. 2. Heat up the tortillas a bit to make sure they don’t crack. I place the tortillas between two damp paper towels and heat in the microwave for maybe 15 seconds. Let me know how these tips work for you!

Can I ask what kind of sausage you recommend using? last time I used actual sausage links and cut them up, the chunks were a little bigger than I would like, do you have any suggestions??

    thanks again!!

      Hi Mollie, I am so glad you like this recipe. It’s definitely an easy to make family favorite around here! I usually use Jimmy Dean pork sausage. Sometimes I get the Maple sausage, that’s usually our favorite.

    • Jen Goode says

      August 25, 2016 at 3:31 pm

      PS – if you use sausage links, I would just cut them up smaller or smash them as you cook them so they are more like ground meat.

      Hi! You should be able to head them up in the oven or a toast oven. I would wrap them in aluminum foil and then heat for maybe 15 to 20 minutes at about 350. I haven’t personally heated them up that way… but I do cook up regular burritos in the oven all the time. Let me know how it goes!

    Do you let them cool before putting everything onto the shell? I feel like they will make the shell soggy if added when warm??

    Thanks

    • Jen Goode says

      July 9, 2016 at 1:18 pm

      I do not let the filling cool… by putting the filling in the tortilla right away, the cheese melts nicely. That said, I use flour tortillas, not corn. Also, if you’re worried about soggy burritos, make sure to use a slotted spoon to scoop out the filling so any juices will drain before adding to the tortilla.

      Hi Amy, I’m going to have to get back to you on this. I’m going to say about 8-10 burritos. I’m completely guessing here… the last batch I made I used the smaller tortillas and over stuffed them. I ended up with about 10 in that round. I’ll report back next time I make them, great question, thank you!

      Great question! I’ve updated the recipe with some measurements. You can adjust the quantities to fit your own liking, but I suggest 5-6 eggs and 3-4 medium potatoes. I use red potatoes because then I don’t have to take the skin off.

    Great ideas. The only negative is that you are not doing people any favors by recommending plastic wrap in the microwave with the food. The chemicals from the plastic are leaching into your family’s food……just because products say microwave safe, doesn’t mean they do not have chemicals. Use unbleached paper towels that are dampened slightly for the best result when heating frozen burritos. Also don’t put hot or warm food in plastic containers. Best to just buy glass and get used to it.
    Peace.

      Chemicals? Leaching into food? Plastic wrap is easy and microwave safe (emphasis on safe and everything has chemicals).

      Don’t make someone feel guilty or less than for trying to make their life easier and glass containers are not cheap!!

      I am sure if they didn’t use the right paper towels you would say something negative about that.

      I don’t use much seasoning. Because I cooke up the sausage and the eggs, the sausage adds most of the flavor. You can add in most any extra seasoning you’d like.. spicy or a little bit of salt.. or salsa would be delicious.

      Hi Rachel, they stay soft when I reheat them. If you find they are getting soggy, leave a little space open in the plastic wrap, or try unwrapping completely, place on a plate and cover with the plastic wrap. This would leave a little more air around each burrito, allowing it to stay dry. Let me know how that works out. Another option is to remove the plastic and wrap in a paper towel before heating. 😀

      I just pop them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes… keep them wrapped in plastic wrap to keep the moisture in. I prefer the Press n Seal plastic wrap, it’s more sturdy, but you could also put in a microwave safe dish, covered.

          Not in the microwave, my plastic wrap didn’t melt. But, if you want to be safe, unwrap and then wrap with a paper towel. I also like to use Press n Seal which works great in the microwave.
