This post was originally published in 2013. Be sure to check the comments for loads of tips and ideas for these egg & sausage burritos.
In an effort to alleviate the morning rush, I make a big pan of these breakfast burritos for our freezer. And after nine years, this Egg & Sausage Burritospost continues to be my most popular recipe, and my family continues to request that I make them.
These burritos are easy to prepare and the recipe is easily adaptable. Don’t like breakfast sausage? Add ham or bacon. Add YOUR favorite cheese and salsa…make these tasty to your family’s preferences.
From the freezer to the plate, these burritos take a minute or two to warm in the microwave and that’s it for breakfast prep on school mornings or work mornings, or any morning when you don’t have a lot of time.
Egg & SausageBurritos
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 12 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper
- your favorite shredded cheese
- salsa (optional)
- 10-12 medium or fajita-sized tortillas. You can also use the larger tortillas.
Supplies that you might need:
- Wax Paper
- Aluminum Foil
- Freezer Bags
- Mix N Chop– This is the BEST tool for browning meat.
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook thesausage, pepper, and onion, by breaking up the sausageinto tiny pieces while cooking.Set aside. (I have also used leftover cooked ham instead of sausage.)
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter all over the pan. Add the eggs and scramble until cooked through.
3. Warm the tortillas per the package instructions. Layer 1/2 cup scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup cooked sausage, 1-2 Tbsp. shredded cheese and a little salsa on a warmed medium-sized tortilla. Fold up into a burrito. Don’t know how to fold a burrito, let wiki-how show you.
4. Place each burrito on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and flash freeze in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Store the burritos in a plastic freezer bag.
5.At breakfast time, place a frozen burrito on a plate and cover with a cloth napkin or paper towel—microwave for 30 seconds. Cut burrito in half and cover back up. Heat for 30-60 seconds or until warm all the way through.
Side note: I wrap a few in foil to store in the freezer for my husband to take to work. Remember to remove the foil before heating it in the microwave. Heat through and wrap back up in the foil to keep the burrito warm.
