Description
These Breakfast Burritos are designed for meal prepping, offering a convenient and satisfying breakfast option throughout the week. Packed with scrambled eggs, savory sausage, cheese, and vegetables, they are perfect for busy mornings when you need a quick, grab-and-go meal.
Ingredients
– 8 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
– 12 large eggs
– 1 lb cooked ham, crumbled (or substitute with cooked sausage, bacon, or plant-based protein for a vegetarian option)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup diced yellow onions
– 1 bell pepper, diced
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional add-ins: sautéed spinach, mushrooms, black beans, avocado slices, salsa
Instructions
1. **Prepare the filling:** In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Sauté the diced onions and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the crumbled ham (or chosen protein) and cook until heated through. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. **Scramble the eggs:** In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until just set. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. **Assemble the burritos:** Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer a portion of the scrambled eggs, the ham and vegetable mixture, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Add any optional ingredients as desired. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
4. **Store:** Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
5. **Reheat:** To enjoy, remove the wrapping and wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
Notes
– **Customization:** Feel free to customize the fillings based on your preferences. Adding vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or black beans can enhance the nutritional value. For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños or hot sauce.
– **Storage:** These burritos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months. Ensure they are tightly wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
– **Dietary Adjustments:** To make these burritos vegetarian, omit the meat and add more vegetables or plant-based proteins. Use dairy-free cheese if needed.
