Make Ahead Freezer Breakfast Burritos Recipe
These Make Ahead Freezer Friendly Breakfast Burritos are another effort to fulfill my New Year’s Resolution to try new and healthier breakfast recipes. I love how easy it is to pull a burrito or two out of the freezer to warm up in the morning.
I also did the math and by shopping at ALDI it cost less than $8 to make the whole recipe which makes them about $0.40 per burrito – much cheaper than a McDonald’s Breakfast Burrito!
And may I add that ALDI’s new Simply Nature Black Forest Ham is so yummy? Oh my. I had to hold myself back from snacking on it. (And at just $2.99 for a 7 oz. package, you gotta try it.)
Do yourself a favor and double this recipe. Grabbing one of these from the freezer is even easier than pouring a bowl of cereal and these are a great way to get that protein we need to start the day!
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup chopped green pepper (optional)
- 18 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup chopped ham
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 20 flour tortillas
- Salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Saute onions and peppers (if desired) in butter. Beat eggs and milk together and add them to the skillet.
- Add the ham, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally. When eggs are set, mix in cheese and let melt.
- Scoop 1/2 cup egg mixture onto tortillas. Fold ends under and roll up.
- If you prefer not to freeze: Put all burritos in a baking dish, top with extra cheese (if you’d like) and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until heated through.
- If you prefer to freeze: Wrap burrito in a paper towel and then in a sheet of foil. Seal tightly and place in freezer bags. Freeze.
- To serve: Remove foil and put paper-towel-wrapped burrito in microwave. Reheat for around one minute. If still cold, heat up at 10 second intervals until heated through. Serve with salsa, if desired.
