Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Tortillas: Choose large flour tortillas for better wrapping or corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
  • Eggs: Fresh eggs add protein and richness; consider using egg whites for a lighter version.
  • Cheese: Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack adds creaminess; feel free to mix your favorites!
  • Sausage or Bacon: Use pre-cooked sausage or crispy bacon bits; turkey sausage works great too.
  • Bell Peppers: Chopped colorful bell peppers enhance flavor and nutrition; use any color you prefer.
  • Onions: Sautéed onions provide sweetness; red onions add a nice tangy bite.
  • Seasonings: A pinch of salt, pepper, and perhaps some cumin can elevate your flavor game significantly.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by chopping your vegetables. Dice the bell peppers and onions into small pieces so they cook evenly. Set them aside as you get ready to scramble those eggs.

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of oil and toss in the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté until soft and fragrant—about five minutes will do the trick.

Scramble the Eggs: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and pepper until frothy. Pour the mixture into the skillet with sautéed veggies. Cook until just set but still fluffy—the goal here is creaminess!

Add Protein & Cheese: Stir in your choice of cooked sausage or bacon bits along with shredded cheese into the egg mixture. Let it melt slightly before removing from heat—this is where the magic happens.

Wrap It Up!: Lay out your tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon an even amount of the filling onto each tortilla before folding in sides like a present—don’t worry if it looks like an amateur gift wrap job!

Freeze Those Burritos!: Wrap each burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Mark with dates because we all have that one friend who thinks three months past expiration means it’s still good.

Enjoy making these delightful Freezer Breakfast Burritos that will transform your mornings!
