These easy make ahead breakfast burritos combine fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, melty cheese, and fresh veggies for a quick, satisfying meal perfect for busy mornings and meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
  • 8 ounces breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small bell pepper (finely diced)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 8 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Salsa (optional, for serving)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Crumble into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess grease on paper towels.
  2. In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter and sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture. Let sit undisturbed for 15 seconds, then gently stir and fold eggs until just set but still soft and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Lay one tortilla flat and spoon scrambled eggs in the center, then add cooked sausage, sautéed veggies, and about 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese. Fold sides over filling and roll tightly.
  6. Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze on a baking sheet for up to 2 months.
  7. To reheat, unwrap and microwave on a plate for 1-2 minutes or bake frozen burritos in a 350°F oven for 25-30 minutes wrapped in foil. Serve with salsa or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

Cook eggs low and slow to keep them creamy and soft. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Wrap burritos tightly before freezing to avoid freezer burn. Reheat in oven for best texture or microwave followed by toasting for crispiness. Customize fillings but avoid excess moisture to prevent sogginess.
