Easy Breakfast Burrito Recipe

Breakfast burritosmade with eggs, bacon, and tater tots are perfect to meal prep in advance or enjoy for any meal.

Breakfast Burritos

I am not a lover of cereal for breakfast. On the occasion that my kids eat cereal, I find that they are asking for snacks an hour later. I like to provide them with something that will stick to their bones a bit before heading to school or going about their day.

We’ve had breakfast burritos in the morning or for a quick and easy dinner. I like making a few extra so we can grab and go for a quick meal in the morning too. Or I’ll throw some in the freezer to eat later.

The addition of cooked tater tots in this recipe is so great. It takes the flavor to the next level in my opinion.

Breakfast burritos are one of my favoriteMexican-flavored breakfast-for-dinnermeals. They are quick, easy, and freeze well if you want to make a double batch for later.

Can breakfast burritos be made vegetarian?

Yes! You can make breakfast burritos vegetarian by replacing the protein with sautéed vegetables and onions.

What goes with a breakfast burrito?

I think breakfast burritos can stand alone, but they would be great served with salsa, avocado, or a side of fruit.

Here’s how to freeze breakfast burritos:

If you’d like to freeze these:

1. Omit the tomatoes and any salsa, they don’t freeze well and can be added when you reheat and serve them.
2. Add your ingredients to the tortilla and roll them up tight.
3. Place the rolled burrito on a square of foil and roll it up in the foil and tuck in the ends.
4. Place multiple prepared breakfast burritos in a zipper-topped freezer bag. Label and freeze.
5. See the post for details on three different ways to reheat the breakfast.

1. To reheat, thawed overnight in the refrigerator: (Best results and great if you remember)
   Transfer burrito to the refrigerator the night before. Bake in foil, in a preheated oven 425 F 20 minutes, turning halfway. Unwrap foil and bake uncovered 5 minutes. Optional, you can also broil 2 to 3 minutes at the end to toast.
2. To reheat direct from freezer to oven: (Best results if you forget to thaw the burritos, but takes longer)
   Bake in a preheated oven 425 F 45 minutes turning halfway. Unwrap foil and bake uncovered 5 minutes. Optional, you can also broil 2 to 3 minutes at the end to toast. Let stand 2 minutes before eating.
3. To reheat direct from freezer to microwave (Least favorite results, but quickest option)Remove the burrito from the foil and place on a microwave safe dish, cover with a paper towel microwave 1 minute. Turn then cook an additional 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes before eating. (optional, brown on a skillet 2 minutes on each side to toast, or broil 2 to 3 minutes.
