Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos

Meal Prep Breakfast Burritos – Easy, Healthy, and Freezer-Friendly

Mornings are busy, and it's easy to skip breakfast or grab something less healthy on the go. That's why these make-ahead breakfast burritos are a game-changer. Packed with protein, veggies, and flavor, they're designed to keep you full and energized without the morning stress.

The best part? You prep them once and enjoy them all week. Bake the eggs, sausage, and veggies together in one dish, roll everything up in tortillas with a sprinkle of cheese, and stash them in the fridge or freezer. When you're ready to eat, just pop a burrito in the air fryer for a few minutes—it crisps up beautifully, tasting like it's fresh off the skillet.

Ingredients (8 servings)

8 large flour tortillas

8 eggs

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite blend)

1 cup cooked sausage (or swap with turkey sausage, chicken sausage, or black beans)

1 cup diced bell peppers

1 cup diced onion

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained

Salsa (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Make the egg bake: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in the cooked sausage, diced peppers, onion, and drained tomatoes. Pour into a lightly greased casserole dish.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave.

Assemble burritos: Slice the baked egg mixture into portions. Place one portion on each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll tightly.

Serve or store: Enjoy right away, or wrap burritos individually in foil or plastic wrap to refrigerate or freeze.

Reheat & crisp: Place burrito in the air fryer at 375°F for 5–7 minutes, or until golden and hot in the center.

Tips and Variations

Make it leaner: Swap pork sausage for turkey sausage or skip the meat and add black beans for extra fiber.
Boost the veggies: Add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini for extra vitamins and minerals.
Dairy-free option: Skip the cheese or use a plant-based variety.
Spice it up: Add jalapeños or drizzle hot sauce before rolling.
Freezer-friendly: Wrap each burrito tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the air fryer—no thawing needed! For the best meal prep payoff, consider double batching—make two trays at once and stock your freezer so you'll always have a healthy breakfast ready to grab.
