Breakfast Burrito Recipe

This Breakfast Burrito Recipe is a meal prep champ, yielding up to a dozen protein-packed burritos that are perfect for freezing as a grab-and-go breakfast. Sausage, roasted potatoes, cheddar, and eggs make them delicious and satisfying!

I’ve made so many breakfast burritos over the years, but this recipe? This is the one!

It’s a savory breakfast lover’s dream come true. And even better, it yields a LOT of burritos. Because if I’m making breakfast burritos to freeze, I want a big batch!

To say I am pleased with this breakfast burrito recipe is an under-statement. It’s not just packed with protein, but also with flavor: roasted potatoes, peppers, onions, chicken sausage, eggs, and cheese. So much deliciousness!

I’ve also streamlined the cooking process for the filling. After giving the veggies a head start in the oven, I pour a combination of eggs and cottage cheese (AKA the main ingredients in my Cottage Cheese Eggs) over the top and continue to bake to set the eggs. It’s kind of like a giant omelet, which you can then slice and add to the tortillas.

Like my Breakfast Tacos, this is a breakfast that will keep you full and satisfied all the way to lunchtime!

How to Make These Breakfast Burritos Low Carb

If you want your breakfast burritos to be low carb or keto, there are a few (easy!) tweaks you’ll have to make:

• Leave Out the Potatoes. You can either skip them altogether without a replacement, skip them and add more bell pepper, or swap in a lower carb veggie. (I think Roasted Butternut Squash would be scrumptious!)
• Use Low Carb Tortillas. There are so many good options for low carb tortillas these days! Use any variety you like.

Other Variation Ideas

• Swap in Bacon. Use bacon instead of sausage—because bacon is always a good idea. Make this Baked Bacon, then remove it from the pan and make the breakfast burrito recipe as outlined in the recipe card, crumbling the bacon and adding it to the sheet pan just before pouring in the egg mixture.
• Make It More Tex-Mex. Swap the Italian seasoning for taco seasoning and add pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar.
• Try It Without Meat. To make vegetarian breakfast burritos, leave out the sausage or use your favorite plant-based sausage.
• Make It With Sweet Potatoes. If you love Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes, you’ll love ‘em in breakfast burritos too.
