How to Make Breakfast Burrito Meal Prep

Step 1–2:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the diced potatoes on a sheet pan.

Step 3–4:

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Roast for 20–25 minutes until golden, flipping once halfway.

Step 5–6:

While the potatoes cook, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.

Step 7–8:

Remove the sausage and set aside. In the same pan, cook the diced onion and bell peppers for 3–4 minutes until softened.

Step 9–10:

Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Pour them into the skillet and cook gently, stirring until just set. Do not overcook.

Step 11–12:

Warm the tortillas slightly so they are easier to fold. Lay each tortilla flat and add eggs, sausage, roasted potatoes, peppers, onion, shredded cheddar, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 13–14:

Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos. For meal prep, let the filling cool slightly before wrapping to help prevent soggy burritos.

Step 15–16:

Wrap each burrito in parchment paper or foil. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheating Instructions

From Fridge

Microwave for 1–2 minutes until hot.

From Frozen

Remove foil if using foil. Wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway.

You can also reheat in an air fryer at 350°F for 8–10 minutes.
