Instructions
Making freezer breakfast burritos is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. If using fresh vegetables and meat, chop them into small pieces.
2. Cook the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of oil and sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until softened (about 5 minutes).
3. Add the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the cooked vegetables.
4. Scramble the Eggs: Stir gently, cooking until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in another skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them more pliable.
6. Fill the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and scoop a portion (about 1/3 cup) of the egg mixture onto the center. Add any optional meat and sprinkle with cheese.
7. Roll the Burritos: Fold in the sides and roll from the bottom up, ensuring the filling is secured inside. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
8. Freeze the Burritos: Place each wrapped burrito on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 10-15 minutes until firm.
9. Store: Once frozen, wrap each burrito in foil or place them in freezer bags labeled with the date. Return them to the freezer for extended storage.
10. Reheat: When ready to eat, unwrap a frozen burrito and microwave for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can bake them at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes until warm.
