Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. From Classic Crepes to the traditional Breakfast Sandwich, a good meal for breakfast can really kick start the entire day.
What’s a breakfast burrito-
A breakfast burrito (also known as a breakfast wrap) is a flour tortilla filled with breakfast ingredients that is then rolled up like a burrito.
The ingredients can be personalized to taste though we love the classic sausage with fluffy eggs and cheese.
How to make burritos-
- Prepare the filling– In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and season with salt and pepper.
- Brown the sausage breaking it up as it’s being sauteed, add the onion and red pepper and cook until tender. Remove from the skillet.
- Saute the eggs with butter until cooked, back in the sausage along with tomatoes.
- Add the egg mixture to the tortilla and top with cheese.
- Assemble the burritos– Roll the wrap tightly by folding over the sides of the tortilla then rolling the tortilla into a log.
- Cook burritos– Lightly grease a skillet. Once hot, add the burritos seam down. Cook the burritos turning them over so all sides are browned and golden.
What to serve with Breakfast Burritos-
Though the wraps are great as is, we enjoy the burritos with homemade guacamole and the kids really enjoy them with sour cream and ketchup.
How to freeze burritos-
Once the burritos are assembled, add the burritos into a single layer into a gallon freezer bag. Freeze the burritos up to 3 months, thaw overnight in the fridge and cook per instructions.
