School Days Breakfast: Frozen Breakfast Burritos

September 11, 2013
Frozen Breakfast Burritos are easy to make, store in the freezer, and heat up on busy mornings. A fantastic go-to breakfast that is just as quick as cereal or a poptart.
Moms can prep a ton of these in about a half hour, and kiddos can heat them in the microwave in a minute and devour them just as quickly.
Frozen breakfast burritos are a must-have around her for busy school mornings.
School has started and we’re working on getting a good routine started.  This is the second full school year my step-daughter has been living with us, but this year she will be walking to school instead of going to morning daycare.
We have been trying to get things organized so she can get herself her breakfast in the morning. I have a meal plan on a dry erase board on the back of a cabinet door in the kitchen, so she can check each day and know exactly what to make herself.
Breakfast on the menu:
  • Oatmeal, 1/2 banana (easy)
  • Cereal, 1/2 banana (easy)
  • Frozen Breakfast Burrito (just made those up today)
  • Frozen pancakes (still need to prepare)
  • Egg Breakfast Muffins (still need to make another batch)
So, obviously, I have a bit of work to do, but we’re taking it one day at a time.  I made almost 20 Frozen Breakfast Burritos today, along with a dozen breakfast sandwiches for Hubby, so I feel pretty accomplished!
I’ve been making The Hubs frozen breakfast sandwiches for almost a year now.  He used to take a Jimmy Dean sandwich everyday, and when I started staying home I figured I could make them myself.

I posted about those sandwiches back in April and they have been very popular on Pinterest.
Just the other day, someone suggested I cut the eggs with a glass so they are round instead of taking the easy route and making them square.  The thought had crossed my mind, but I never wanted to deal with all the scrap bits of egg.  Until now…
These breakfast burritos are the perfect way to use up all the excess egg left after cutting the circle eggs for the breakfast sandwiches!

 

Check out my post on the frozen breakfast sandwiches for my tips on cooking the eggs on the best pan ever and using foil squares for wrapping!

Once I completed my assembly line of breakfast sandwiches, I set out my assembly line for the burritos. I used small tortillas, the leftover eggs, a sausage patty like the ones used for the breakfast sandwiches, and cheese singles.

I diced the eggs and sausage patty, and cut the cheese singles into small slices. I assembled everything and ended up substituting bacon crumbles for the sausage and some shredded cheese for the slices on the last couple – you can definitely use anything and make them anyway you want!

 

These were nice and small, so I only needed half of the foil square for each. I folded the bottom of one end before rolling so they will stay together better when eating.

 

All the “scrap” egg made a lot of burritos! We should be set for a couple months at least! Fantastic!

 

I’m one step closer to stress-free school mornings! I’ll be working on those pancakes and Egg Muffins next!

    2. It varies so much depending on your microwave and preferences, but I did one minute – it may help to wrap in a paper towel and flip halfway to keep soft

    1. That would be delicious! I have no doubt the salsa would work. From my experience, sour cream separates a bit when frozen, so I think it would get a little watery. It would be interesting to try it out, thought and see how it goes – I wonder if the salsa and sour cream were mixed prior to freezing…
