    These Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos are super easy to put together and brilliant for busy schedules. All the breakfast taste, zero-time spent cooking. It doesn't get any easier than this: reheat and eat!

    These Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos are super easy to put together and brilliant for busy schedules. All the breakfast taste, zero-time spent cooking. It doesn't get any easier than this: reheat and eat!

    They are wrapped in freezer paper which has a plastic lining inside that prevents food from freezer burns and allows it to be stored for months. When reheating (in either microwave or oven) this ready-to-eat goodness, the paper also prevents moisture loss and keeps it warm longer after cooking, if kept wrapped. If you have not tried freezing make-ahead wraps, burritos, or sandwiches I highly recommend it! It’s one kitchen hack that saves tons of time and work.

    Seems like teen college students

    ... are always in a rush with no time to prep a much-needed breakfast. Grabbing and heating up a burrito (if it fits in the time it takes to make them even more needed cup of a tasty homemade java in the morning, right?...) is a huge time saver for them! Having a warm hearty, nutritious breakfast is a great start to the day and provides kids a huge energy boost to bring mommy the good grades she wants!

    Add plenty of vegetables such as avocado, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper (or whatever suits your fancy) to go in the burrito and you’re set. Give it a try and you will love its flavors and how much time it saves. I am confident that you will appreciate it as much as I do.

    Breakfast Burritos Ingredients

    • Large eggs (I used-home raised chicken eggs)
    • Russet potatoes (I used homegrown potatoes)
    • Turkey bacon (you may use bacon of your choice)
    • Organic ham
    • Organic sharp cheddar cheese
    • Grass-fed organic milk
    • Sea salt (garlic salt and black pepper to taste)
    • Extra light olive oil for sautéing
