A couple of weeks ago it occurred to me that instead of focusing so much on freezer meals for dinner, I should do some breakfast freezer meals too.
We are so busy in the mornings that having a go-to meal in the freezer for breakfast would take a lot of the stress out of my day. The first thing I thought of was breakfast burritos. My husband LOVES breakfast burritos and so do my boys. They are easy for the boys to hold and eat and my husband is a burrito fanatic. Here is what I did…

We’re pregnant with twins so I want to prep some meals that will last for a few months in the freezer. How long will these stay good for in the freezer? Can I make them now?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Congratulations! You must be so excited 🙂 Yes! Make them now, they’re good for at least 3 months. Enjoy!
Shirley Coleman says
These are really good also with a little sausage gravy spooned over them.
Rosie Rivera says
Looks easy I will try thank you
Tom B says
Thanks for the recipe. I put in a little of everything. Plus a little sour cream and enchilada sauce. Turned out great. Gave some to a few folks at work. They all wanted the recipe. Will use many times in the future.
Chika says
Will surely make it this coming holidays. Thanks for the recipe
Schroomer says
REDUCED CALORIE VERSION. Ok, first, many thanks. Good solid recipe, easy to make, and tasty. We were looking for a make ahead warm breakfast option low calorie and high in fiber. I subbed 1# venison turkey breakfast sausage for the 3 pounds of mixed meats, used an 80 calorie – 8 grams of fiber wrap, used all egg whites, and used 8 ounces of good cheddar. Follow directions with those changes. Used Trish’ s suggestion to freeze first. With our microwave it took 3 minutes at 70%. These changes got the burrito to 300 calories and 10 grams of fat. Recipe allows for lots of changes based on individual preferences. Thanks again Trish.
Schroomer says
Follow-up. That should read 300 calories and 10 grams of fiber.
Old people and auto-correct. Not a good mix.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I LOVE this! So awesome!
April says
ÃŒAny suggestion on how to heat a large number (ar least10) in the oven? They will probably be thawed since we are taking them 8 hours from home.
Jo Kolstee says
Our son and daughter in law have three children ages 4, 3, and 2 and one on the way so I like to make freezer meals for them to grab and go on their crazy days. This way I know they are eating well. These will be perfect. I will make them tomorrow. Thank you very much for sharing.
Estella E. Thomas says
Hmmm, Yummy.Great cooking taste is as a result of the great recipes. Break fast is very important to the development and repair of the body system. I will choose the Freezer Breakfast to the dinner. Which you you prefer?
Katie says
Do you know nutrition facts for these?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I don’t. It really depends on what ingredients you use, bacon vs. ham, tortilla size, etc. When you make them you can input your ingredients into a nutritional calculator and find out.
whimbly says
has anyone put salsa inside them and then freezing them.
Marge Rienzo says
I am 77 and live alone..These will be great for me. where is the salsa recipe?

Karen says
I am going to make these this weekend! What is the benefit to heating the tortillas before rolling the burritos since we are going to freeze them? Thanks!
Echo says
Since no one replied, I thought I’d speak up! Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable so you can roll them up without them tearing. I love breakfast burritos and I’m looking forward to trying this variation!
