Loaded Breakfast Burritos

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this is the perfect recipe for you! This loaded breakfast burritos recipe is perfect for when you want a hearty breakfast that will keep you going all morning long.

I love making these ahead of time in large batches so I can simply grab them from the freezer and heat them in minutes. It's especially handy since I have teenagers in the house that are always hungry and need more protein on their menu.

How to Make Loaded Breakfast Burritos

For this recipe, start by prepping your potatoes, onions, and peppers. Chop into small pieces that will cook evenly but mostly make for an easy bite once wrapped into the tortilla.

Heat the butter and olive oil together in the skillet, then add in the potatoes and cook until fork-tender.

Add in the bell peppers and onions, and continue cooking for a few more minutes until they are tender. Remove this mixture and set it aside.

Into the same skillet, add the sausage and cook until no longer pink and broken into small crumbles.

I used ham and tossed it right in with the ham for a few minutes to heat through.

Set this aside, then whisk your eggs and spices together and scramble them in the same pan until they are set.

Now, begin assembling your burritos. Start by placing your tortillas onto a clean surface.

You can add some salsa or hot sauce before folding it into a burrito shape if you want.

Roll the side closest to you over the filling, then fold over each side and continue rolling until it is covered.

I like to heat them in a skillet to brown and melt the cheese, but you can wrap and freezer or even heat in the microwave if you prefer at this point.

Chef's Tip
Make your tortillas easier to roll into burrito shape by placing on a microwave safe plate and sprinkling with water then covering with a paper towel and heating for 20-seconds in the microwave.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Meats Go Into Breakfast Burritos?

This recipe uses breakfast sausage and ham, but you can use other meats or proteins. I often use turkey sausage or chicken sausage, and of course, the oven-baked bacon is a great choice that adds richness.

Other common choices are Canadian bacon, seasoned ground beef, chorizo, or even leftover steak. Pulled pork and chicken are both good options that can add a different flavor to the burrito.

Can I Add Vegetables to My Burrito?

I love adding vegetables to my breakfast burritos. Potatoes, onions, and carrots are perfect in this recipe, but you can use any other vegetable you want for more nutrition and flavor.

Other options that work great are mushrooms, kale, spinach, tomatoes, and jalapenos. You can add in things like carrots and zucchini if you want.

What Size Tortilla Should I Use?

There are a lot of different sizes of tortillas. What size you want is really personal preference. If you are using burrito size, you will have a very large tortilla (10") to work with. Some people make burritos this size, cut them in half and half some, for now, some for another time, or just have a larger meal. I love the size of fajita tortillas because they are the perfect size for a meal and are easy to handle. Then there are also taco and street taco sizes. These would make for very small burritos.

How Should I Reheat A Breakfast Burrito?

You can reheat a breakfast burrito in the microwave, in the oven, or in a skillet. If you want to have the outside of the tortilla crispy, you will want to reheat it in a skillet or oven. I have even used a panini press or sandwich maker to add some grill marks when reheating.

Can I Freeze Breakfast Burritos?

It is easy to freeze breakfast burritos. First, make all of the ingredients and then let them cool. Once they are cooled, fill your tortillas like normal and wrap them up. I like to cover each breakfast burrito individually in plastic wrap. Then again in foil. This keeps them protected from freezer burn.

You can also freeze burritos that have already been heated. Just make they are cooled completely before wrapping or the tortillas will get soggy.

Ingredients

8 (10") flour tortillas
1 pound breakfast sasusage
1 pound ham, chopped
2 cups chopped potatoes
½ red onion, chopped
½ red bell pepper, chopped
½ green bell pepper, chopped
½ yellow bell pepper, chopped
8 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. To the skillet, add the potatoes and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring regularly, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Add the chopped onions and bell peppers, and stir cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Remove this from the skillet and set it aside.
Wipe out the skillet, and return to the heat. Cook the sausage over medium heat, for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring and breaking up the chunks as it cooks until the sausage is cooked through and no longer pink.
Drain any excess grease from the pan and remove then cook the ham until heated through. Remove the sausage and ham and set them aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Pour the eggs into the skillet using the remaining grease to prevent sticking, and scramble, using a wooden spoon to move the cooked eggs to the center and shifting the pan for the raw egg to go to the outer edges to cook. Once the eggs are completely set, for 4 to 5 minutes, remove them from the heat.
On a clean surface, place a tortilla.
Add a spoon of eggs to the middle of the tortilla.
Then, add a spoon of the sausage and ham.
Next, add a spoon of potatoes and vegetables.
Top with a pinch of shredded cheese.
Roll the tortilla over the ingredients, then fold in the two sides of the tortilla.
Wrap tightly over the ingredients creating a burrito.
Serve immediately, or place the tortilla into a hot skillet to brown lightly and heat through to melt the cheese.
