Easy Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos (My Morning Game Changer)

Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos That Changed My Morning Routine

If you have kids or a job or honestly, if you just breathe air…you probably know what it’s like to wake up and be instantly running. No matter how organized I try to be, mornings are always chaos. I wake up hungry, busy, and already behind.

Enter: My breakfast burritos. These bad boys are absolute game changers.

The Easy Prep

It’s basically just an egg mixture with chicken sausage and a bunch of veggies. I cook everything in one big pan (so easy), then roll it all up into tortillas.

Once they’re rolled, I wrap them up and store them (some in the fridge, some in the freezer) and boom, I’ve got breakfast ready for a week and a half.

In the morning, I just toast, air fry, or crips them on a skillet. Honestly, the skillet is the best way to do it if I have the energy. It takes barely any time, and I’m eating a delicious, protein-packed burrito without having to think.

The Tortilla Secret

If you’re looking for good tortillas, I have to share this. My friend Betsy got me hooked on Tortilla Land tortillas when I was in Montana last year (I get mine at Costco!).

Before these, I didn’t really care about tortillas. But now? These are next-level. I’ll swear by them forever. They’ve got that authentic flavor and texture that just makes everything better. I cook them right on my gas stovetop or flat-top skillet. Just a quick heat-up and you’re good to go. Life-changing. Truly.

You’ll need:

1 package of Tortilla Land tortillas (or your favorite tortillas)
8–10 eggs
½ cup cottage cheese (I love Good Culture)
Salt and pepper, to taste
3-4 chicken sausages, diced (or swap in bacon, ham, or breakfast sausage)
1-2 sweet potatoes, diced
1-2 bell peppers, chopped
½ onion, diced
1 TBS of olive oil
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
Any other veggies you have on hand – spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, etc.
Parchment paper or foil for wrapping

Directions:

Cook your veggies and protein. Toss your chopped veggies (I usually do sweet potato, onion, and peppers) and chicken sausage into a glass cooking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and your favorite seasoning. Pop it on your grill or in the oven and let everything cook until softened and slightly browned.
Blend your egg mixture. In a blender, add your eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. This makes your eggs extra fluffy and protein-packed.
Combine and cook. Pour the egg mixture over your cooked veggies, top with shredded cheddar cheese, and continue cooking until the eggs are set and cooked through.
Cut and fill. Once cooled slightly, cut the egg and veggie mixture into even squares. Grab your tortillas, fill each one with a portion of the mixture, and fold in the sides and top before rolling it up tightly.
Wrap and store. Wrap each burrito in parchment paper (or foil if you plan to reheat them in the oven). Store some in the fridge and the rest in the freezer. They’ll last up to a couple of weeks.
Reheat and enjoy. In the morning, just toast, air fry, or sizzle one on the cooktop until the outside is crispy and golden. The skillet method is the best if you have the time…totally worth it.

Hot Tips:

Veggie hack: My veggie chopper is a total game changer! Throw all your veggies in, and it chops everything perfectly consistent. It saves so much time and makes prep a breeze.

Make it sweet: Drizzle a little pure maple syrup over your burrito before you roll it if you like a sweet-and-savory combo and it’s unexpectedly amazing.

Turn up the heat: Add your favorite hot sauce, salsa, or jalapeños to the filling if you like it spicy.

Kid-friendly twist: Skip the spicy stuff and cut them in half for perfect little mini burritos. Great for lunchboxes or after-school snacks.

Camping favorite: Wrap them in foil and toss on the campfire grill. They reheat perfectly in minutes!
