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…

  • breakfast sausage
  • bacon
  • ham
  • potatoes
  • cheese
  • tortillas
  • eggs
  • milk

  • seasoning salt
  • salt and pepper

FAQs

  • Can these burritos be made vegetarian? Replace the meats with some sautéed peppers and onions.
  • I want extra large burritos!  Just use larger tortillas and increase the filling accordingly.
  • Need even more flavor?  Add in some sautéed veggies.

We enjoy these breakfast burritos with some fresh blender salsa or pico de gallo! Yum!
