Published 9/25/2023 Here at Fit Foodie, we love breakfast and we love meal prep. These protein-packed breakfast burritos combine both for an easy grab-and-go breakfast option to enjoy any day of the week. These homemade breakfast burritos are a team favorite and come together in just 15 minutes on the stovetop. They freeze wonderfully, too!
What is in breakfast burritos?
Just a few simple ingredients needed for these protein-packed breakfast burritos:
Eggs + Milk: The base of the burrito filling. Veggies: Onion, garlic, and red pepper add flavor. Bacon + Cheese: For protein and creaminess. Tortillas: To keep it all together!
Breakfast Burrito Variations
Breakfast burritos are incredibly versatile and the ingredient combinations are endless. Try these variations on our protein breakfast burritos: Veggies: For veggie-packed burritos, add another pepper (bell, poblano, or jalapeño), some fresh spinach or arugula, mushrooms, or any other leftover veggies you have on hand. Bacon: Replace the bacon with cooked breakfast sausage, or skip the meat altogether. Cheese: Use your favorite type of shredded cheese. Any kind works! Tortillas: Choose any tortilla or wrap that won’t break when folded. For true breakfast sandwiches, try our recipe for freezer breakfast sandwiches.
Freezing Breakfast Burritos
Enjoy these breakfast burritos straight off the stove or freeze them for later (you could even make a double batch!). To freeze, wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and squeeze out as much air as possible. Wrap again with a layer of foil. Label each individually wrapped burrito and freeze for up to 3 months.
