These easy freezer breakfast burritos combine fluffy eggs, savory sausage, and melty cheese wrapped in warm tortillas for a quick, comforting breakfast perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • 1/2 cup diced onions (yellow or white)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Optional: Salsa or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté diced onions and bell peppers over medium heat for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Remove and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and cottage cheese until smooth. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over medium-low heat. Let sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir occasionally until softly scrambled and moist, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove eggs from heat and fold in cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly mixed and cheese begins to melt.
  6. Warm tortillas until pliable (about 15 seconds in microwave). Spoon about 1/2 cup filling onto each tortilla, fold sides, and roll tightly to form burritos.
  7. Wrap each burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper. Place on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours. Transfer to freezer-safe bags or containers and label.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture.’, ‘Do not overcook eggs to avoid rubbery texture after freezing.’, ‘Cool filling before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas.’, ‘Wrap burritos tightly and store in airtight bags to prevent freezer burn.’, ‘Reheat frozen burritos covered with a damp paper towel in microwave or wrapped in foil in oven for best texture.’, ‘Substitute almond flour tortillas for gluten-free option.’, ‘Replace sausage with sautéed mushrooms or tempeh for vegetarian version.’, ‘Use dairy-free cheese and coconut yogurt instead of cottage cheese for dairy-free adaptation.’]
