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.
Step One: Make the burritos:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Arrange the bacon on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake until cooked but not overly crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt some of the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausage mixture to a bowl.
- Wipe out the skillet and return it to low heat. Melt the remaining butter. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then season with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until softly scrambled.
- Chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside until you’re ready to assemble the burritos.
Step Two: Assemble the burritos:
- Chop the bacon and grate the cheese.
- Lay the tortillas out on a clean work surface. Divide the scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheese evenly among the tortillas, placing the fillings down the center and leaving a small border around the edges.
- To roll the burritos, fold in the sides, then fold the bottom edge up and over the filling. Continue rolling tightly until the burrito is sealed. Place seam-side down.
- Wrap each burrito in freezer paper or aluminum foil, then transfer to the freezer until ready to enjoy.
Step Three: Reheating
- To reheat, remove the burrito from the foil and wrap loosely in a paper towel.
- Place on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 1 minute.
- Flip the burrito to the other side and microwave for an additional 1 minute.
- Allow to sit for 30 seconds before enjoying it.
Burrito storage information:
Store burritos in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Remember to label and date all burritos with date and information. Use within 6 months.
Build a simple breakfast:
One of the easiest ways to reduce morning stress is to have a few reliable breakfast options ready to go.
I like to keep a mix of freezer breakfasts on hand so my kids can choose what sounds good that day. Along with these breakfast burritos, we often stock our freezer with egg muffins, egg bites, and breakfast sandwiches.
When breakfast is already planned, there’s one less decision to make during a busy morning, and those small routines can make a big difference.
If creating simple routines around meals is something you’re working on, you’ll love my Dinner Rhythms Workshop, where I teach families how to create flexible meal systems that work with real life.

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the bacon strips on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the bacon is done but not overly crispy.

- 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.

- Chop the bacon into small pieces and grate the cheese.
- Wash the counter or table you want to use to assemble the burritos.

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