Breakfast burritos are a convenient and delicious way to start your day. Whether you’re in a hurry or just looking for a quick and easy breakfast option, these homemade burritos are sure to satisfy your cravings. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of making and freezing breakfast burritos, so you can enjoy them whenever you want.
Ingredients
To make breakfast burritos, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 8 large tortillas
– 8 eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheese
– 1 cup diced bell peppers
– 1 cup diced onions
– 1 cup cooked bacon or sausage
– 1 cup salsa
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling:
– Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your desired consistency (scrambled, fried, or over-easy).
– In another skillet, cook the diced bell peppers and onions until they are soft. Add the cooked bacon or sausage to the vegetables and cook for an additional minute.
– In a separate bowl, mix the shredded cheese with the salsa and sour cream.
2. Assemble the Burritos:
– Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture on one end of the tortilla.
– Add a layer of cooked eggs, followed by a layer of the vegetable and meat mixture.
– Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on top of the filling.
– Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges as you go, to form a burrito.
3. Cook the Burritos:
– In a non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip the burrito and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4. Freeze the Burritos:
– Allow the cooked burritos to cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, place them in a freezer-safe container or a resealable plastic bag. Lay them flat in the container to prevent them from sticking together.
– Freeze the burritos for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, simply thaw the burrito in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave for a few minutes.
