why breakfast meal prep?

If you are anything like me, breakfast is not your main priority when you first wake up.

Coffee. Coffee is a priority. Food is not a priority.

That being said, we all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and your body needs that caffeine fuel to function at it’s best.

So why get on the breakfast meal prep train?

• You are saving money by not hitting up the drive-thru.
• Breakfast is ready and waiting for you.. just reheat! 
• You control the ingredients in your meal prep breakfast.
• It only takes about 30 minutes to set you up with breakfast for the rest of the week.

Freezer breakfast burritos solve all of your morning problems because they are already made the way YOU like them.

You are just a quick 3 minute reheat away from a warm, savory, satisfying breakfast instead of eating dry cereal out of a box.

freezer breakfast burrito ingredients

Let’s take a minute to go over what ingredients you will need to make these meal prep burritos:

• Eggs
• Milk or cream
• Shredded cheese
• Diced jalapenos (fresh or jarred)
• Canadian bacon
• Onion
• Parsley (fresh or dried)
• Tator tots
• Flour tortillas
• Olive oil / butter

how do you make breakfast burritos?

Start by prepping your ingredients first so you can assemble quickly and efficiently.

Dice your onions and jalapenos, shred your cheese, cut up your Canadian bacon.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

Cook tator tots according to package instructions and set aside to cool.

Add olive oil to skillet over medium-high heat.

Add diced Canadian bacon and heat for 1 to 2 minutes until warmed through. 

Stir in diced onion and cook for additional 1 to 2 minutes.

In a separate mixing bow, whisk eggs also with a dash of salt and pepper.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to skillet and once melted, lower heat to Low and add eggs.

Gently whisk in milk/cream and cook until eggs are thick and fluffy with no visible remaining liquid, stirring frequently.

After about 3 to 5 minutes your eggs should be cooked, remove from heat and stir in parsley. Let cool slightly before using.

Lay out a tortilla and line up tator tots.

Top with eggs, shredded cheese and diced jalapeno.

Fold in opposite sides of the tortilla, then roll the tortilla up tightly to make a burrito.

Wrap each breakfast burrito in aluminum foil and repeat until ingredients have been used.

Move foil wrapped breakfast burritos to the freezer to freeze in a single layer before moving them to a large zip top bag for easy freezer storage.

Your frozen breakfast burritos are good in the freezer up to 3 months.

To reheat, remove from freezer bag, remove foil and microwave for 2 to 4 minutes, flipping burrito over halfway through heat time OR leave wrapped in foil and heat in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes.

pro tips for perfect freezer breakfast burritos

• Too much moisture will lead to a soggy breakfast burrito. Be sure to sauté high moisture vegetable before adding them to your meal prep burritos.
• Be sure to let your breakfast burrito ingredients cool to room temperature before building your freezer burritos. This also helps avoid soggy burritos.
• Customize these make ahead burritos any way you like. Go wild!
• Grab the large tortillas for this meal prep breakfast idea. You want 8-12 inch burritos, anything less won’t be large enough to hold your ingredients.
• Corn tortillas are tasty but won’t work for these breakfast burritos. They don’t freeze well in this capacity.
• Freeze your burritos in a single layer before moving them to your zip top bag. They will freeze faster and it helps avoid a soggy burrito.
