Freezer Breakfast Burritos

Step 1

Cook the potatoes in a large skillet, according to the package directions. Once brown and crispy, remove to a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Add the sausage to the same skillet and cook while breaking up into crumbles until browned and cooked through. Remove to a bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Add the tablespoon of butter to the same skillet (or use non-stick cooking spray if needed) and scramble the eggs to your liking, then set aside in a bowl. Wipe out the skillet and remove from the heat.

Step 4

Place the tortillas on a board or work surface. Add a portion of the eggs, potatoes and sausage to each tortilla, and then top with the shredded cheese.

Step 5

Fold the tortillas up burrito style, ending with the seam down. Heat the skillet up over medium heat and add non-stick cooking spray or a little oil to the pan. Once hot, add a few of the burritos to the skillet, seam side down and let the burritos crips until brown on each side. This should only take about 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining burritos.

Step 6

Let the burritos cool completely, then wrap in plastic wrap and store in a resealable freezer bag. Slicing the burritos in half before freezing helps to reheat the burritos faster. When ready to reheat, remove a burrito from the plastic wrap and wrap in a paper towel.

Step 7

Place the burrito on a microwave safe plate and cook on the defrost setting for 2 minutes. Now cook the burrito on full power for 45 seconds to 1 minute depending on the size of your burrito. Just give it a few more seconds if the filling isn’t warmed through.
