What’s in Breakfast Burritos?
Inspired by our favorite Mexican flavors, this freezer-ready breakfast burritos recipe is packed with eggs, ham, sausage, hashbrowns, and cheese, then seasoned with taco seasoning. Every bite is delicious, and they are plenty filling.
Olive Oil: Helps the hashbrowns cook without burning. You can use canola, vegetable, or avocado oil instead. Hashbrowns: Frozen hashbrowns are an easy hack for quick burritos. Diced Ham: Adds salty, rich flavor and protein. Crumbled Sausage: Adds fat and flavor. Feel free to swap this out for any ground meat. Eggs: Form the base of this burrito. Cilantro: Add fresh flavor. You can swap it for parsley if you’re not a fan. Taco Seasoning: Cheesy taco seasoning pumps up the cheesy flavor. You can use regular taco seasoning if you prefer. Mexican Blend Cheese: Adds classic Mexican flair. You can use Monterey jack, pepper jack, or mozzarella instead. Tortillas: I like flour tortillas, but wheat, corn, or cassava also work.
These are the perfect freezer-friendly breakfast. I always have a few on hand!
