Sausage and Egg Breakfast Burrito Recipe Tips
- If you prefer to bake the burrito rather than pan-fry it to crisp up the outside, you can bake it in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes instead.
- To give your bacon breakfast burrito some heat, add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapenos to your eggs. Or, you can swap the breakfast sausage for spicy Italian sausage.
- Use your favorite kind of cheese if cheddar isn’t your favorite. Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend is great.
- Sautéed peppers and mushrooms would be a great addition!
- I have a great recipe for fried breakfast potatoes you might want to try in your burrito.
What to Put in a Breakfast Burrito
- For the scrambled eggs: Butter, eggs, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.
- Tortillas: Use large tortillas so they’re better able to hold all the fillings. Stack them on a plate, microwave them to warm them up, and then cover them with a damp paper towel to keep them soft.
- Potatoes: Diced pan-fried or roasted potatoes. From the freezer section or homemade breakfast potatoes can be used.
- Cheddar cheese: Freshly grated cheddar cheese melts nicely and adds a sharp cheddar flavor.
- Breakfast sausage: Cooked and cut into pieces.
- Bacon: Cook them in the oven for less splatter and mess!
How to Make Breakfast Burritos
Step 1: Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl. Feel free to add a bit of milk or water to make them extra fluffy. This is completely optional.
Step 2: Melt the butter in a large skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for a minute. Use a rubber spatula to move the edges in towards the center of the eggs, doing this until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through. Season with spices.
Step 3: Lay out a tortilla onto a flat surface or platter. Add ½ cup of fluffy scrambled eggs, ½ cup of the golden crispy potatoes, and ¼ cup of shredded cheese to the middle of the tortilla shell.
Step 4: Next, add ¼ cup of crispy bacon bits and sausage. Take the outer edges of the burrito and fold them into the middle. Then, roll the burrito up nice and tight.
Step 5: To the hot skillet, add a bit more butter or oil and cook the bacon egg cheese potato breakfast burrito seam side down, and once golden and crisp, flip it to brown the other side. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Serve with sour cream and salsa and enjoy!
Make Ahead and Freeze
Once the wraps are assembled, allow the filling to cool completely. Then, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in freezer bags. Keep frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw them overnight and then reheat them in the oven, the air fryer, or the microwave.
Recipe FAQs
There are about 578 calories in one breakfast burrito.
It’s pretty filling all on its own, but we always have ours with a morning glowing green smoothie! If we’re having ours for lunch or dinner, we’ll usually pair it with a side salad.
The best way to do this is to allow the filling (the eggs, potatoes, and bacon) to cool before adding them to the burrito.
That way the heat won’t get trapped inside, creating steam and moisture. It’ll warm back up again once you heat it in the pan.
