I am a huge fan of make ahead breakfasts that my kids can prepare by themselves in the morning. 

We almost always have a few choices on hand that my kids can choose between. Our current favorites are rainbow veggie breakfast egg muffins, Instant Pot egg bites and chorizo frittata freezer breakfast sandwiches

These breakfast burritos have become a huge, huge staple for us. We make them A LOT, and everyone loves them. In fact, sometimes I wish they would last a little longer because 20 seem to disappear in my household very quickly.

Thank you to Iowa Egg Council for sponsoring this post. And thank you for supporting the brands that support me and allow me to continue to grow my blog. All opinions, recipes and photographs are my own. 

These make an easy make ahead breakfast or a ready made snack to keep on hand! We often use them as a quick bite to eat before we head to the barn for lessons.  

My kids love that they can make them on their own (yay independence!), and I love knowing that eggs are a great addition to their meals.

Easily versatile, simple to make, and so flavorful – these meat lovers burritos are so easy to love!

How to make meal prep breakfast burritos

This recipe is simple to make! For the full set of directions, please scroll down to the recipe card below. This is just a general overview on how to make it to help you plan.

Make the burritos:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  3. Place the bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the bacon is done but not overly crispy.
  5. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off excess grease.
  6. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. 
  7. Add 1 Tablespoon of butter to the pan and let it melt.
  8. Add the diced onion to the pan and saute until translucent, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
  9. Add the sausage to the pan with the onions and break up into smaller pieces as it cooks, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. 
  10. When the sausage is done, transfer to a bowl and wipe out the pan with a paper towel.
  11. Return the pan to the stovetop and turn on to low heat. Add the remaining 3 Tablespoons of butter to the pan and allow it to melt. 
  12. In a large bowl, crack the eggs and give them a nice stir with a fork or a whisk to blend the egg yolks and whites together. 
  13. Pour the eggs into the pan and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are cooked through but not too dry.

  5. Repeat with the sausage, bacon, and cheese, evenly portioning out each ingredient amongst the 20 tortillas, and leaving space on the edges.
