Why These Breakfast Burritos Are a Morning Game-Changer

Choosing and Prepping Your Burrito Fillings

Breakfast burritos adapt to every palate and dietary need. Include classic ingredients like eggs, cooked sausage or bacon, shredded cheese, sautéed onions, and bell peppers, or branch out with black beans, spinach, and salsa. For easy, uniform vegetable prep, the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes quick work of chopping onions and peppers.

If using potatoes or hash browns, you can air fry them for a crispy texture using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt, keeping everything light and tasty.

Cooking and Assembling the Burritos

Start by cooking your proteins and vegetables. Use a nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to evenly scramble eggs and sauté your fillings without sticking. Lay out your warm tortillas, pile on the fillings, and roll tightly.

For assembly, having a set of Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 makes it easy to prep, fill, and roll each burrito while keeping ingredients organized.

Freezing and Reheating Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos

To keep your burritos fresh and easy to reheat, wrap each one individually in a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet. Then, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They’ll last up to three months in the freezer.

To reheat, microwave a burrito (still wrapped in parchment) for 2–3 minutes, or crisp it up in the air fryer for 5–8 minutes until heated through and lightly browned.

Serving Suggestions for a Complete Breakfast

Serve your warm breakfast burritos with sides like salsa, avocado slices, or fresh fruit. For breakfast on the go, toss one in a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, Khaki Green along with some fruit, or pack in your favorite insulated tumbler full of coffee or tea.

Customize each batch for the week ahead—add hot sauce for zing, or swap out meats and vegetables based on what’s in your fridge.
