My family loves these freezer breakfast burritos! They are an easy way to make sure you get your breakfast in before you’re heading out the door.
I’m not sure if it’s the same for everyone, but we tend to not have a lot of extra time in the morning so these are a go-to grab, heat, and go meals for our family. They are super easy to pop in the microwave and have a meal ready in no time at all.
You can even double this recipe if you want to only make them up once and have them last a while. They can last for up to 2 months in the freezer.

How to Make Breakfast Burritos

- Top each tortilla with one slice of bacon and an even amount of eggs, cheese, and salsa.

- Wrap each tortilla in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer-safe ziploc bag, or roll them in aluminum foil.
Make Ahead and Freezer Meal Notes
A quick and easy way to reheat these frozen burritos is to put them in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and then it is ready to go.
You can also reheat them in the oven by baking them at 350 for 20-25 minutes. Bake them either wrapped in the foil or place them on a pan and cover it for half the time, remove the foil half the way through.
Homemade Salsa
If you have canned salsa this is the perfect recipe to break it out! I love using homemade salsa for these burritos. It makes them just that more delicious. If you want to make a fresh batch of salsa, take a look at Cooking Classy’s easy homemade salsa recipe and whip some up to go with our bacon and egg burritos.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
Great idea, can’t wait to try.
Do you have suggestions/instructions for reheating when you want to eat them?
Do they need to thaw first or can you pop them in the microwave straight from the freezer and how long should they heat for?
Hi Janice!
Thanks for asking that question – I’ll be sure to add re-heating instructions to the recipe above, and answer your question here, too!
As far as reheating goes, I usually remove it from the foil while it is still frozen, wrap it in a paper towel and use the defrost option on my microwave for about 90 seconds. Then I rotate the burrito and heat it up regularly (not on defrost) for 45-60 seconds. That usually does the trick!
Could you make these with corn tortillas to make them gluten free? It’s hard to make things like this ahead that are gluten free.
Do you have instructions for reheating in the oven? I don’t actually own a microwave…

Have you tried using wheat tortillas?
You could also use wheat tortillas.
I had the same Q.
What size tortilla? I’m using medium.
We use the soft taco/burrito size tortillas. They are medium sized.
Very good – easy. One extra step I added was to lightly sear them on both sides in a cast iron pan. Delicious!
This is really a fast and delicous recipe for sure! Now I event pack one with me in my work tote as lunch when I was busy working!
How long, and what temp, would you warm from frozen in an air fryer?
Regular burritos are for about 8-10 minutes at 350. So you may need to experiment with them.
We love these ! I love making them and having them in the freezer, ready to to. Thank you for sharing and including the re heat instructions. 🙂
You are very welcome. Enjoy the breakfast burritos.
Hi! How do you think it would turn out using a sausage link, maybe cut into a few pieces, instead of the bacon?
Yes, you could easily replace the bacon with sausage.
I’ve never cooked eggs in the microwave. Thanks for the new ideas. It worked great.
