These Meal Prep Breakfast Burritos will change your mornings! Packed full with sausage, hash browns, eggs, veggies, cheese and ready for you to add your favorite toppings. 

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals, but I have to admit on busy mornings sometimes I skip this meal.

And while I love cooking big breakfasts on the weekends, during the week I need to have something I can just grab and go.

Over the summer I’ve been making these healthy smoothies, which take no time at all. But I’ve been looking for something that I could make ahead of time and actually eat instead of drink. 

And batch cooking for meal prep is a huge time saver. I like being able to spend an hour in the kitchen to make 2-3 dishes, like these air fryer breakfast potatoes, that we can enjoy the rest of the week.

So I combined my love of Mexican food with the first meal of the day, which turned into these meal prep breakfast burritos. The best thing about this recipe is that the filling and serving options are totally customizable and almost endless in terms of options.

Ingredients for Meal Prep Breakfast Burritos

Bell pepper – red or green

Eggs

Salt and pepper

Cheddar cheese – the shredded blend or shred yourself for extra freshness

Flour tortillas – make sure you get the burrito size (10-12 inches)

• Picante sauce
• Green onions, thinly sliced

How to Make Breakfast Burritos – Meal Prep Style

Heat your oil in a large skillet and add the hashbrowns, cooking until they are golden brown. Transfer them to a small plate. 

Add the ground sausage, peppers and onions to the heated pan and cook until the meat has browned and is no longer pink (I use a meat chopper for ground meats because it gives an even chop on the meat). Then drain the grease if needed. 

Put the hashbrowns back in the pan. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl, then add to the hashbrown mixture. Season with salt and pepper if desired and cook until the eggs are done. 

In the meantime heat your tortillas in the microwave then start assembling your burritos. 

Add the hashbrown mixture to the bottom section of the tortilla, sprinkle with cheeses and any other additional toppings. 

Then fold in the sides and bring the bottom up and roll tightly. 

Your burritos are ready to be served or ready to freeze! 

Can Breakfast Burritos be Frozen and Reheated? 

Yes and we prefer doing that to make meal prep easy. 

To freeze, wrap cooled burritos individually in parchment paper, then foil. Add to a freezer-safe resealable bag or container (don’t forget to label the container). Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

To reheat from thawed, remove the foil wrapper and place 1 burrito on a microwave-safe plate or dish. Cook for 1-2 minutes, flipping at the halfway mark until warmed through. Let rest for 30 seconds before eating. 

Frozen burritos can be reheated in a 400 degree F oven: place on a baking tray and heat for 30-35 minutes.

How Long Do Breakfast Burritos Last in the Refrigerator?

As long as they are wrapped properly they will last 2-3 days in the fridge.
