FREEZER BREAKFAST BURRITOS



Freezer Breakfast Burritos image

Rise and shine with fix-and-freeze breakfast burritos. Sausage, cheese, potato tots, and scrambled eggs. Sounds like a great meal, right? Delicious breakfast burritos have quickly become one of the most popular items at fast-food restaurants and, when packed with all these satisfying ingredients, it isn't hard to understand why. Spend a little time in your kitchen and you can make your own sausage burritos for a family-style breakfast or lazy brunch, and even stash some in the freezer for on-the-go meals. Here is how to freeze a breakfast burrito: once you have assembled them, wrap burritos individually in foil. Freeze in a single layer until solid, about 2 hours. Place frozen burritos inside a plastic freezer bag, seal, and keep up to 3 weeks. To reheat a freezer breakfast burrito, remove foil from a thawed burrito, place it on a paper towel-lined plate and microwave on HIGH until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup milk
1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
6 large flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
¾ cup cooked vegan chorizo
½ cup prepared salsa verde
hot sauce or salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Roast sweet potatoes until tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Fold left and right sides over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom of the tortilla to form a burrito. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas, and freeze for up to 1 month. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to three days.
  • To serve: Remove burrito from plastic or foil and place on a plate in the microwave. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, until filling is hot and tortilla is tender. Serve immediately with your choice of hot sauce or salsa. If reheating from the refrigerator, microwave on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

  • Season your fillings well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of flavor to your fillings. This will help them stand out once they're wrapped in the tortilla.
  • Use a variety of fillings: The more variety you have in your fillings, the more interesting your breakfast burritos will be. Try mixing and matching different proteins, vegetables, and cheeses.
  • Wrap your burritos tightly: This will help to keep them from falling apart when you're reheating them.
  • Freeze your burritos properly: Place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the bag or container with the date and contents.
  • Reheat your burritos gently: The best way to reheat breakfast burritos is in the microwave or oven. If you're using the microwave, heat them on low power for 1-2 minutes at a time, until they're heated through. If you're using the oven, preheat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the burritos for 15-20 minutes, or until they're heated through.
