Easy Freezer Breakfast Burritos

Of course I know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I mean, it’s been drummed into my brain for as long as I can remember. But in reality? Yeah, not happenin’…

There are FAR too many days when breakfast looks like a cup of butter coffee that I’m slurping while trying to shoo all of my kids out the door for school. And inevitably, what seems like merely an hour later, I glance at the clock and realize it’s nearly 1:30pm (almost time for them to get home!) — and I’m absolutely ravenous.

You too? Well, I’m aiming to solve this problem over my next few posts with some simple meal prep breakfasts, starting with these freezer breakfast burritos. Together, let’s make breakfast skipping a thing of the past!

My criteria for these easy meal prep breakfast recipes:

• Minimal ingredients that I typically already have in my kitchen or are easy to source locally
• Simple recipes that don’t take a lot of time to prep
• Recipes that refrigerate or freeze well and reheat easily
• And they have to taste good!

Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos

These make ahead breakfast burritos check off every box on my list. The ingredient list is super short (just 4 ingredients plus a bit of milk and butter), the prep time is fairly minimal, and they’re delicious when reheated!

I attribute the amazing flavor to the Hillshire Farm® Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham that I used in these freezer breakfast burritos. This new premium deli meat is truly like buying from a butcher or carving from a baked rotisserie item — except you can just grab it from the packaged lunch meat section in Walmart and be on your way!

Or in my case, I used Walmart Online Grocery Pickup to place the order for the ingredients for these easy breakfast burritos, which saves me a TON of time and headaches… My husband truly HATES shopping with me, because I almost always end up backtracking 2-3 times to pick up items I forgot. OOPS!!! So yeah, OGP is a total sanity saver for me.

How To Make Breakfast Burritos

As I mentioned, I kept this easy breakfast burrito recipe super simple — just scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and the Hillshire Farm Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham, all wrapped in a flour tortilla. But even with the minimal ingredient list, these freezer breakfast burritos pack a ton of flavor.

Making them is as simple as preparing a batch of scrambled eggs on the stovetop, pan-frying the ham to give it a bit of caramelization, and then assembling the breakfast burritos. How’s that for easy prep?!

A Few Quick Tips For Best Results:

1| Tortillas vary widely in size. I recommend using flour tortillas in the 10-12″ range to prevent the burritos from falling apart while you’re eating them.

2| Don’t overcook the eggs. Just scramble the eggs until they’re mostly set but not completely cooked through. No one likes rubbery reheated eggs!

3| Don’t skip pan-frying the ham. It adds such a tasty boost of yumminess! Is that even a word, LOL?

4| Allow both the eggs and the ham to cool before assembling the breakfast burritos. This prevents the tortillas from becoming soggy.

5| Wrap the breakfast burritos in aluminum foil and freeze in one layer on a baking sheet. When they’re completely frozen, you can transfer them to a zip-top freezer bag.

How To Reheat Frozen Breakfast Burritos

Reheating freezer breakfast burritos can be done one of two ways: in the microwave or in the oven. Obviously, reheating them in the microwave is the quickest and easiest way. Just remove the aluminum foil, place them on a plate, and microwave for 4-6 minutes or until heated through, turning once.

I haven’t owned a working microwave in years, so I place a still-wrapped frozen breakfast burrito on a quarter-sheet pan in my countertop oven and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes. If I remember to pop it in as soon as I wake up, the timing is just right for me to sit down to a hot and fresh breakfast burrito after getting my four oldest kids out the door!

That’s it! One 30-minute meal prep session to make this easy breakfast burrito recipe should yield 12 frozen breakfast burritos, which lasts me quite a while since I’m rotating them with some of the other breakfast meal prep ideas I’ll be sharing soon.

By the way, my favorite way to eat them is topped with lots of restaurant-style fresh salsa from the refrigerated produce section!

Ingredients

• 1 (11-oz.) container Hillshire Farm Premium Carved Slow Roasted Seasoned Ham, roughly chopped
• 14 large eggs
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 12 (10- to 12-inch) flour tortillas, at room temperature

Instructions

1. Pan-fry ham until browned. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
3. Add the butter to a large skillet set over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost set. Set aside to cool, then fold in the browned ham.
4. Tear off 12 squares of aluminum foil. Place a tortilla on top of one piece of foil. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheese on top, and then top with 1/2 cup of the ham and scrambled eggs mixture.
5. Roll the burrito by folding the sides in and then rolling tightly from the bottom up. Wrap the burrito snugly in aluminum foil, and repeat the process of filling, rolling, and wrapping the remaining burritos.
6. Freeze the burritos in a single layer on a baking sheet. Then transfer them to a gallon sized zip-top freezer bag. 

To reheat frozen breakfast burritos:

Unwrap and place the burrito on a plate. Microwave for 4-6 minutes or until heated through, turning once. Or place a still-wrapped frozen breakfast burrito on a sheet pan, and bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes.

Notes

Storage: Frozen burritos can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
