Quick Breakfast Burrito Recipe

“Just a few more minutes please” “I am so tired” “Hurry up 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 you guys really don’t have an excuse to skip breakfast.

That 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.

 Burritos have to be one of the most comforting food on the planet

Here is our favorite take. It is suited as an easy on the go or eat at home, Mexican inspired breakfast dish. Loaded with flavor and jammed packed with protein to energize the start of your day.

After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Let’s Get Cooking

Dice potato and onion.  Place in a non-stick skillet pan with just enough oil to coat. Add in taco seasoning. Cook on medium-high heat until potatoes are browned and onions are tender. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, scramble eggs and milk until combined. In the same pan, add diced red pepper and jalapenos (can be optional) cook until tender.  Add egg mixture, cook until the fluffy.

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

Time to enjoy or freeze for later.

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 if 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 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.
