MAKE-AHEAD BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the potatoes, onion and pepper; cook and stir for 6-8 minutes or until tender. Add eggs; cook and stir until set., Spoon filling off center on each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up. Serve with picante sauce and sour cream if desired., To freeze and reheat burritos: Wrap each burrito in waxed paper and foil. Freeze for up to 1 month. To use, remove foil and waxed paper. Place 1 burrito on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 2 to 2-1/4 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°, turning burrito over once. Let stand for 20 seconds.

FREEZE-AND-REHEAT BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bits. Keep skillet warm.
• Whisk eggs, milk, and salt together in a bowl. Pour into the hot skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen potatoes, garlic salt, and pepper. Fry until browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 4 to 5 minutes more. Let cool.
• Cut 10 squares of aluminum foil slightly larger than the tortillas. Lay 1 tortilla on each square; evenly distribute Cheddar cheese on top. Add eggs, bacon, salsa, and potatoes to each tortilla, in that order. Tightly roll the burritos, tucking tops and bottoms in first.
• Wrap aluminum foil tightly around each burrito, covering it completely. Place in resealable plastic bags in a single layer. Remove as much air as possible from the bags before sealing. Store in the freezer until ready to reheat.
• Reheat by removing the aluminum foil, placing the burrito on a microwave-safe plate, and topping it with a paper towel. Heat in the microwave until evenly warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

MAKE-AHEAD FREEZER FRIENDLY BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large/deep skillet. When hot, add bell pepper, onion, garlic powder, and chili powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ground meat and cook thoroughly, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat into small pieces as it browns. Once the meat is completely cooked through, remove the pan from heat. Pour the meat and veggie mixture into a large bowl, drain any excess liquid and set aside to cool.
• Use a paper towel to wipe out your pan, or use an alternative pan. Reduce heat to low and return the pan to the heat. Add butter to the pan and move it around to coat. Add all eggs to the pan over the melted butter and stir continuously until the eggs are just barely cooked through. Do not overcook - eggs will cook a tiny bit more when your burritos are reheated. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside to cool. Let everything cool completely to reduce moisture in the burritos (at least 15-20 minutes).
• Set up a burrito assembly line. If tortillas are cold, wrap in a damp paper towel and heat them for 20 seconds in the microwave to make them more foldable and less likely to rip. Make 8 burritos, each with a sprinkle of cheese, 2 scoops of meat mixture and one big scoop of eggs. Wrap your burritos by folding the sides over, wrapping from the bottom and tucking in the sides (see photos in the post above!).
• Wrap each burrito tightly in parchment paper or foil, then store in another airtight container or freezer bag. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3-6 months for best quality. If freezing, make sure to label the bag with the name and date.
• There are lots of ways to heat breakfast burritos, here are some of my recommendations: Air fry at 350F for 6-10 minutes, or until the burritos are crispy and golden brown; Reheat in a toaster oven for 7-8 minutes (depending on your toaster oven); Or, you can also toast for 4-5 minutes to get the outside crispy, then microwave for 30-45 more seconds to ensure it's heated through. I would not recommend completely microwaving, they'll probably be a bit soggy that way.
• For the best results, take a burrito out of the freezer the night before you plan to eat it so it can thaw. If necessary to cook from frozen, air fry frozen burritos with a spritz of avocado spray oil at 250F for 30 minutes, then increase temperature to 350F and air fry for 2-3 more minutes until crispy and golden brown.

MAKE AHEAD FREEZER BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• 1. Brown ground sausage or ham in a 10-inch skillet. Drain and rinse the sausage. Remove from pan and set-aside. 2. Add cooking oil, onions and peppers to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until just starting to soften. Remove from pan and set-aside. 3. Place eggs into a large bowl. Whip until light and fluffy. Add the black pepper (and whatever other seasoning you like) to the eggs and stir again. Pour egg mixture into the skillet. Cook for 5-8 minutes, frequently scrapping the bottom of the skillet until the eggs are set. 4. Add the cooked sausage or ham, onion and peppers to the eggs and stir. Your egg mixture is ready! When I am preparing the burritos for the freezer, I usually let the eggs cool to room temperature to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy. 5. Place about 1/3 cup of egg mixture onto a tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Fold up one end of the tortilla and then roll the other sides up. I like to place a toothpick through the burritos to prevent them from unrolling in the freezer. 6. Continue until your egg mixture is gone. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months in the freezer. If you have more than one layer of burritos, put a small piece of parafin or wax paper between them to prevent them from sticking together. 7. Remove from the freezer when ready to eat and microwave one burrito 1-2 minutes until warmed throughout. Served with a glass of milk and some fresh fruit, these are a quick, hardy breakfast that will stick with the kiddo's all day! Enjoy!

MAKE-AHEAD FREEZER BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a large skillet (I use a large cast iron skillet), over medium-high heat, brown the sausage for 5 minutes. Make a well in the center of the skillet. Add the bell pepper and sweet onion and cook for 1 minute. Stir the vegetables into the ground sausage. Saute the veggies, mixed with the sausage, until the onions are translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Strain the fat from the sausage and veggies, then place the mixture in a bowl and set aside.
• In the same skillet, melt the butter. Whisk the eggs and milk together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the eggs into the skillet and scramble until the desired consistency. Remove the eggs from the heat. Add the sausage mixture to the eggs, gently stir to combine the ingredients.
• To assemble the burritos, place a few tablespoons of shredded cheese (or 1 slice) in the center of each tortilla. Add the egg and sausage mixture. Fold the sides into the center of the tortilla and then roll into a burrito. The burritos can be individually wrapped in parchment paper or foil; or simply place the burritos in a Ziploc bag (my preferred method).
