Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Stock up on these staples before you start assembling your burritos:
  • 12 large eggs – Fresh eggs give you the best texture and flavor.
  • ½ cup milk – Helps create soft fluffy scrambled eggs.
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage – Cooked and broken into small crumbles.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – Sharp melty, and classic.
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese – Mild and creamy for balance.
  • 12 large flour tortillas 10-inch – Slightly warmed so they don’t crack.
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil – Keeps the eggs from sticking.
  • Salt and black pepper – Season to taste.

Method
 

Step 1: Scramble the Eggs

Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk with milk, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, stirring often. Take them off the heat while they’re still slightly soft—this keeps them from drying out after reheating.

    Step 2: Warm the Tortillas

    Heat tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave until flexible. This prevents tearing when rolling.

      Step 3: Assemble the Burritos

      Lay out a tortilla. Add eggs, sausage, and a mix of both cheeses. Don’t overfill. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly into a burrito shape.

        Notes

        Freezing & Storage Tips

        Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap, then cover with foil. Store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Properly wrapped, they’ll keep well for up to 3 months.

        Best Way to Reheat Without Sogginess

        Unwrap completely. Wrap the burrito in a lightly damp paper towel and microwave on high for 1–2 minutes, flipping halfway if needed. This method heats evenly and keeps the tortilla soft—not mushy.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        How long do freezer breakfast burritos last? Up to 3 months when wrapped well and stored properly.
        Can I change the fillings?
         Definitely. Beans, cooked vegetables, or different cheeses all work—just avoid anything watery.
        Why use a damp paper towel when reheating?
         It adds just enough moisture to prevent dry edges while avoiding sogginess.

        Pro Tips for Perfect Results

        • Fully cook and crumble sausage before assembling.
        • Slightly undercook eggs for better reheating texture.
        • Roll burritos snugly so fillings stay put.
        • Always double-wrap before freezing to prevent freezer burn.

        Serving Ideas

        These burritos are filling on their own, but they pair well with fresh fruit, salsa, sour cream, or crispy hash browns if you want something extra.
