“Just a few more minutes, please.” “I am so tired.” “Hurry mom, I have to leave.” These are some usual phrases that I hear in our home in the morning. Everyone just wants to hit the snooze button and when ready to go, we are always in a hurry.

Without a doubt, weekday breakfasts can be one of the biggest meal struggles for busy families. Now everyone no longer has an excuse to skip breakfast.

This is why making breakfast burritos is one of our favorite portable meals. They be can be personalized to suit all tastes. We like to batch cook on our meal prep day (typically Sunday afternoon after church).  After batch cooking, I roll & wrap each one individually and place them in the freezer for the week ahead.

How to make an easy breakfast burrito

STEP ONE: Scrub the potatoes clean under running water to remove any dirt or debris, but avoid peeling them as the skin adds a nice touch of texture to the final dish.

STEP TWO: Next, it’s time to chop the potatoes. Dice them into small, bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Aim for cubes around half an inch in size, as this allows for a nice balance between tender insides and a slightly crispy exterior.

STEP THREE: Dice onion. Then place in a non-stick skillet pan with just enough oil to coat.

STEP FOUR: Add your taco seasoning. Cook on medium-high heat until potatoes are browned and onions are tender. Set aside.

STEP FIVE: In a separate bowl, scramble eggs and milk until combined. In the same pan, add diced red pepper and jalapenos (can be optional) and cook until tender. Then add the egg mixture, and cook until fluffy. Continue stirring until the eggs are just set, being careful not to overcook them. This method yields light and airy scrambled eggs.

STEP SIX: Once the eggs are done, add shredded cheese, basil, and potato mixture and stir to combine and serve on warm tortillas with sour cream. Salt & pepper to taste. 

Time to enjoy or freeze for later.

Breakfast Burrito – From Freezer to Plate

Freezer burritos are easy to prep in advance, can be frozen for up to three months, and only take about three to five minutes to reheat in the microwave. Just make sure you wrapped your burritos in aluminum foil to remove the wrapping before cooking.

I am leaving this reminder here for myself. When you are asleep and pending your coffee in the morning, you can do lots of corky things without realizing it.

To reheat the burritos: Unwrap the burrito from foil and microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once halfway through. At that point, the burrito will be hot and you could eat it as is. Serve with extra salsa or sour cream, if desired.
