Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 8 burritos. It takes around 30 minutes to prep and assemble the batch.
Variations
Sometimes I make them vegetarian with black beans, peppers, and avocado, or go spicy with pepper jack cheese and hot sauce. I also switch up the meats—using chorizo, turkey sausage, or even leftover ham. For a lighter version, I use egg whites and whole wheat tortillas.
storage/reheating
I freeze burritos for up to 3 months. To reheat, I remove the foil, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway through. Or, I bake them (still wrapped in foil) at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes straight from frozen.
FAQs
Can I use corn tortillas?
Corn tortillas tend to crack when frozen and reheated. I stick to large flour tortillas for best results.
Do I have to cook the filling before freezing?
Yes, everything should be fully cooked before freezing to ensure it reheats safely and evenly.
Can I reheat these in the oven?
Definitely. I bake them in foil at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until heated through.
How do I keep them from getting soggy?
I let all the fillings cool before assembling, and I avoid adding watery ingredients like raw tomatoes.
Can I add cheese after reheating?
Yes, if I want fresher flavor, I sprinkle extra cheese on top after heating and even melt it under the broiler for a few seconds.

Effortless & Tasty Freezer Breakfast Burritos are the breakfast upgrade I didn’t know I needed. They’re filling, flavorful, and incredibly convenient—perfect for busy mornings or feeding the whole family with minimal effort.
