Homemade Frozen Breakfast Burritos for On the Go

The ingredients are as simple as it gets, and so is the process. These burritos need to be assembled in advance for best results. If you want more than one serving, we recommend doubling up on all our recipes!

The “reheating frozen breakfast burritos in oven” is a technique that can be used to make homemade frozen breakfast burritos for on the go. The heat from the oven will thaw out the tortilla and allow it to be wrapped around the filling without becoming soggy.

A delicious morning burrito is one of my favorite foods.

They’re fantastic for on-the-go eating, and if you load them generously, they can really fill you up.

But, if you’re like most busy American guys, you just don’t have time in the mornings to make a breakfast burrito. Sure, you could make one with just an egg and cheese, but we all know the greatest part of a morning burrito is the generous serving of flavorful, meaty sausage, which takes a little time to prepare. So you either grab a morning burrito from a fast food establishment or microwave a frozen type from the grocery store.

Stopping at a QuickTrip for a morning burrito may not save you much time or money (the going fee for a QT burrito right now is $2.50). And what about those pre-made burritos from the store? They’re teeny-tiny. To fill me up, I have to eat two of these, and the sausage is usually sparse.

Furthermore, you’re receiving a lot more chemicals and preservatives from fast food and store-bought breakfast burritos. Consider the following components for El Monterey breakfast burritos:

Yellow no. 6, sodium steroyl lactylate, sodium metabisulfite, L-cysteine…… Is anybody hungry?

I spent an hour and a half one Saturday morning a few weeks ago cooking a batch of 14 man-sized, sausage-stuffed, egg and cheese burritos that I could freeze and re-heat later, in an attempt to save time and money as well as obtain the sort of breakfast burrito I prefer to eat in the morning. Now, if I want a morning burrito, I just take one from the freezer, reheat it up, and eat it.

I’ll walk you through the steps I took to create my frozen breakfast burritos ahead of time.

Preparation Time and Ingredients

These burritos may be as basic or as elaborate as you want. Keep in mind that the more components you use, the more costly and time-consuming they will be to prepare. I used the following components in my batch:

18 eggs
14 tortillas (flour)
1 shredded cheese bag (the pic above has two bags, but I ended up just using one)
2 packets (16 oz.) breakfast sausage
1 onion, white
2 bell peppers, green

The above yielded 14 large breakfast burritos.

Ingredients cost a total of $15.54.

Burritos are $1.11 each.

It took 1 hour and 30 minutes to prepare everything (including clean-up).

Compare that to the price of El Monterey breakfast burritos from the store:

The total cost for 12 burritos was $10.98.

Burritos are $.91 per.

When you compare it to the price of a McDonald’s breakfast burrito, you’ll notice a significant difference: $1.00

Yes, the El Monterey burritos were $.20 less expensive than the McDonald’s burrito. The handmade burritos, on the other hand, have a significant benefit in that they are, well, larger. When you compare pricing per ounce, my burritos are at least 1.5X the size of comparable rivals, so you really save money. In addition, I receive less chemical ingredients and more meat in my burrito, which is just how I want it.

Burritos: How to Make Them

Step 1: Prepare the onion and peppers and cook them.

Grandma’s tip: chew gum while cutting onions to avoid tears.

Cook for about 10 minutes, or until softened.

Step 2: Prepare the Sausage

Cooking 28 ounces of sausage is a large task, and it will take some time. While you’re waiting for it to cook, you may start preparing the eggs. Then, in preparation for feeding your stomach, go through a copy of Manvotionals to feed your soul.

Eat a piece of sausage after it has been cooked because sausage is delicious. After that, place it in a bowl and keep it away for subsequent use in the burrito-making step.

Scramble the eggs in the third step.

In a large mixing basin, crack 18 eggs. Look to those those chicken embryos that were prevented.

Season with salt & pepper and a splash of milk. Scramble.

Large, thick egg curds may be made by cooking eggs at high heat.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

Now that we’ve prepped all of our supplies, it’s time to begin constructing. On a medium-sized piece of foil, place a tortilla.

Toss in as many ingredients as you like. I began with an egg layer, then a good portion of sausage, followed with some onion and pepper, and then some cheese.

Step 5: Make a Burrito Wrap

Years of observing Chipotle employees wrap huge burritos served as a reference for my wrapping method.

That breakfast burrito looks fantastic. Wrap the burritos in foil as soon as possible. Allow them to cool slightly so that condensation does not form within the foil and ice crystals form on your burrito. Naturally, this means your whole kitchen counter will be covered with burritos laying on foil squares. Alternatively, you may let all of the components cool before wrapping them in foil. But I lacked the patience to do so. Regardless of whatever method you choose, keep creating burritos until you’ve used all of your ingredients.

Step 6: Put in the freezer

With a marker, write the date you made your burritos on the foil. They have a three-week lifespan.

Step 7: Warm up your burrito and enjoy it!

Wrap your frozen burrito with a paper towel loosely.

Warming up these burritos seems to be best done between 2:30 and 2:45 p.m. Halfway through, flip it over. Allow for a minute of cooling time after removing it from the oven.

Take a look at all of that eggy, sausagey deliciousness. Isn’t it great that you may have a nice and substantial meal even if you’re short on time in the morning? This man-sized burrito will fill you up with muscle-building protein and good cholesterol, and will start your day off right.

Homemade frozen breakfast burritos are a great option for on the go. They are healthy and delicious. Reference: frozen breakfast burritos healthy.
