How to make DIY Frozen Breakfast Burritos

My Little Son loves having eggs or a protein for breakfast, but most mornings I just don’t have time to cook up some eggs. So this totally helps with that. He can get one out of the freezer, microwave it for 1 minute and he’s good to go! I love to have them too.

Tips for making frozen breakfast burritos:

To make the breakfast burrito process faster, scramble your eggs with any extras like sausage, bacon bits, onions, peppers, or hashbrowns.

Use a large pan to get all the eggs scrambled at once.

Get the family to help and everybody does one part of the burrito-making process. One person scoops the eggs, another adds the cheese, another person folds the tortilla, and the final person wraps the breakfast burrito.

If you have time, make a variety of breakfast burritos so they are not all exactly the same. Keeps it from getting boring!

To make it healthier, add veggies, use whole wheat tortillas, use egg whites, use turkey sausage or turkey bacon. So many possibilities!

For Frozen Breakfast Burritos you will need:

1-2 dozen eggs, scrambled

1 lb turkey sausage, crumbled and cooked

1 bell pepper, diced

2-3 packages of tortillas (10 inch size works well)

salt and pepper to taste

Optional: shredded cheese, hash brown potatoes, jalepenos, crumbled bacon.

Here’s how you make DIY breakfast burritos:

Cook up a big ‘ol batch of scrambled eggs. We added turkey sausage and bell peppers. Add whatever you love. 1 1/2 dozen eggs ($2.00) and 1 lb or turkey sausage ($3.50)

Get a bunch of tortillas. I do whole wheat and white flour tortillas. The whole wheat are healthier, but it’s nice to switch it up sometimes. I got mine for $2.08 per package of 10.

Get your kidlets to help make an assembly line. And fill ’em and wrap ’em in plastic wrap. The fold-top baggies work well too.

I scoop about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of eggs onto each burrito. You could add cheese or salsa here too.

We wrap ours in plastic wrap and then store in a large Ziploc freezer gallon size bag.

Store individually wrapped burritos in large Ziplocs to keep them fresh longer.

So here’s how we got our cheap breakfast burrito price:

1 1/2 dozen eggs $2.00

1 lb turkey sausage $3.50

1 bell pepper (from the garden, but can cost up to $1.00)

2 1/2 packages of tortillas $2.08 each, so $5.20 total

2.00

3.50

+5.20

= 10.70 (without the cost of the bell pepper)

We got 25 burritos out of this batch. So $10.70 divided by 25 burritos is about .43 cents! You can make it cheaper or a little more depending on your prices or what you add. Enjoy a quick, cheap, full of protein breakfast.
