Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? But how many of us skip breakfast regularly?
*Raises hand*
I am terrible about eating breakfast! I just never want to take the time to make something! I want something that is going to be fast, easy, and still be hearty and healthy. So the last couple times that I made breakfast burritos, I froze some.
It’s so easy to just grab one and throw in the microwave on mornings when all I want to do is drink my coffee and wake up! ha ha!
I made another batch the other day. Here’s how I do it!
Ingredients Print this recipe!
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 a medium sweet onion, chopped
1- 16oz roll of breakfast sausage (I use turkey sausage)
9 eggs
1/3 milk or water
2 packages of fajita size tortillas, room temperature (because 1 package generally has a 10-count…you need 14)
1 package of Mexican style shredded cheese
S&P to taste
Plastic wrap
Plastic wrap
Freezer storage bag
Directions
First chop up the pepper and onion. I dice them to keep the pieces small.
Heat a medium fry pan over high heat with NO OIL. You want this to be hot and stay hot so the onion and pepper will release their liquids, but not completely cook. Keep stirring them over the high heat.
Once the liquid evaporates and the onions start to stick, they are done. Remove them to a large bowl.
Add the breakfast sausage to the same pan, NO OIL, and cook over med-high heat until it’s done. I break it up constantly as I’m cooking it to get it into small pieces.
No matter what kind of sausage you use, it’s going to create a lot of grease. So once it’s done cooking, drain all of the grease! After draining, I like to put it back on the heat for a few minutes to burn off any extra grease that didn’t drain. Add a little salt if you wish.
Once that’s finished, you can leave it in the pan and set it aside to cool slightly.
Now onto the eggs! Use a large bowl to combine the 9 eggs and 1/3 c. milk. I use milk, but water works just as well.
Then beat them silly with a whisk!
Use a large fry pan over med-high heat with just a little bit of oil added. Add the egg mixture and stir constantly, releasing any egg from the sides and bottom as you go. Salt and pepper them as you like.
Once your eggs are scrambled, you can add them and the sausage to the bowl with the pepper/onions. Stir to mix them all up!
Let the bowl sit on the counter for about 10 minutes to cool slightly. Then put the bowl, uncovered (or cover lightly with a paper towel) in the refrigerator to cool completely! I let it sit in there for a few hours.
Then once it’s cold like leftovers, bring it back out, along with your cheese and your room temperature tortillas. I like fajita size because they are not too big or too small. And the yield for this recipe (14) is based off of fajita size.
I use about a half cup of filling for each burrito, then a generous pinch of cheese on top.
Then wrap it burrito style!

| First fold half over and tuck it tight, then fold in the sides, and roll it over the other half to finish! |
Try to keep all the filling in and keep it tight!
Then wrap it in plastic wrap in the same manner.
After you’ve got them all wrapped up…
Place them in a freezer storage bag and into the freezer! This will make 14 burritos if you use the same size tortillas that I do.
To reheat, remove the plastic wrap and wrap it loosely in a paper towel. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, then flip it over and cook another 45 seconds.
I may or may not have eaten one as I was writing this. The world will never know! 😉

Oh, YUM! Those look really good. 🙂 They sure would be convenient in the mornings and keep from eating crap once I'm out the door!
