Notes

If you are going to add hash browns or vegetables, you can cook them in the same skillet as you cook the meat, before you cook the eggs. You can even retain a bit of the grease from cooking your sausage or bacon to cook your vegetables, hash browns, and eggs in. Otherwise, use cooking oil. 

Freezing and Reheating 

  • To freeze, wrap each burrito in plastic wrap or foil. Place in a resealable plastic freezer bag or plastic container with a lid. Freeze for up to 2 months.
    • To reheat in the microwave: Remove plastic wrap or foil and wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel. Cook for 2-4 minutes on high, turning once. 
    • To reheat in an air fryer: Wrap the burrito in foil only. Reheat at 400 degrees F. for 15 minutes. 
    • To reheat in the oven: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the burritos for 30 minutes or until warmed through.
