Breakfast Burrito Variations

Breakfast burritos are incredibly versatile and the ingredient combinations are endless. Try these variations on our protein breakfast burritos:

Veggies: For veggie-packed burritos, add another pepper (bell, poblano, or jalapeño), some fresh spinach or arugula, mushrooms, or any other leftover veggies you have on hand.

Bacon: Replace the bacon with cooked breakfast sausage, or skip the meat altogether.

Cheese: Use your favorite type of shredded cheese. Any kind works!

Tortillas: Choose any tortilla or wrap that won’t break when folded. For true breakfast sandwiches, try our recipe for freezer breakfast sandwiches.

FAQ

Can you make a double batch?

Absolutely! For 8 breakfast burritos, simply double all of the ingredients. Just make sure the pan you use is big enough to cook 16 eggs.

How can you make these burritos dairy free?

Use non-dairy milk and vegan cheese (or omit the cheese completely).

Freezing Breakfast Burritos

Enjoy these breakfast burritos straight off the stove or freeze them for later (you could even make a double batch!). To freeze, wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and squeeze out as much air as possible. Wrap again with a layer of foil. Label each individually wrapped burrito and freeze for up to 3 months.

To Reheat

  • From Frozen: Unwrap the frozen burrito and place it on a plate in the microwave. Use the defrost setting and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping every minute. Then, microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until hot.
  • From Thawed: Transfer the breakfast burrito from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before. When ready to warm, unwrap the frozen burrito, place it on a plate, and microwave on high for 60-90 seconds, or until hot.

These were great I did mine without bacon because I’m a vegetarian. Thanks for a great recipe.

If you want to try another idea with these wraps for lunch that does well in the fridge (never tried freezing) take a wrap warm it in a fry pan tthevadd one scrambled egg a thin layer of humus grilled zucchini and grilled tofu. Put as much or as little spices as you like with the tofu and veggie cookie. It will blow your mind with the flavor combination. I had anti tofu eaters gobbling them up a few weeks ago at a picnic.

Could you leave the flatbread out and cook everything else like the eggs and bacon etc. And put that into foil. Could you then just microwave that? Or does the flat bread help keep everything fresh?

Hi, your ingredient list seems to be missing cheese. How much do you use, and what blend? Thanks!
