Notes

  • Wrap the breakfast burritos tightly in foil before placing in a freezer bag. This will help to protect them when freezing, and they'll be easy to grab one at a time.
  • There's no need to thaw the burritos before heating, just microwave!
  • Have fun experimenting with different fillings! You can put any ingredients you like in these.
  • If you're going to be eating these within a few days, I recommend just refrigerating instead of freezing.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional toppings.
