    crispy sausage egg breakfast burritos on plate with fruit

    Have you ever had breakfast burritos? They're a lot like the burritos you have for lunch or dinner, except that you use eggs, instead of meat, to fill the tortillas. You can add some breakfast sausage to the eggs, throw in some veggies and maybe some hash browns or fried potatoes.

    We've been making these sausage and egg burritos for breakfast since way, way back.  See, we figured out that while the kids don't really like eggs, they'll eat almost anything wrapped in a tortilla! Actually, I'm gonna be completely honest here and let you know that the Hubs makes them. I do the pancakes, muffins and French toast, but he's the egg man.

    If you like sausage and eggs for breakfast, check these recipes out:

    •  low carb sausage egg breakfast scramble,
    • cheesy sausage and egg cups
    • sausage and egg breakfast sandwich

    Anyway, this is an easy recipe for breakfast burritos that uses just four main ingredients:

    1. Scrambled eggs
    2. Breakfast sausage
    3. Shredded cheese
    4. Flour tortillas

    So first, you make the sausage. Then, you make the eggs. Then, you start making the burritos!

    You could easily stop there, but we like to take these breakfast burritos to a different level and give them a crispy texture. So after rolling the burritos, you heat them up in a skillet for a little bit until they're golden brown and crisp on the outside.

    It's an extra step, but it's so worth it!

    You can eat these crispy sausage egg breakfast burritos right away, or you can freeze them for later. They're perfect for a grab and go breakfast during the week, especially during the school year.

    If your mornings are as crazy as ours are, you'll love these crispy breakfast burritos as a make-ahead breakfast! And if you want to spice things up, try making these crispy salsa verde breakfast burritos. We love them almost more than the original version!

      I have made these for many years. I have never fried them to make them crispy but it should be a nice touch. I usually add cooked onions and jalapeños. Then before wrapping add some Texas Pete. Great for adults who want an extra kick. Great for breakfast or dinner.

        It usually takes 2 to 3 minutes. I wrap it in a paper towel and turn it about halfway through.

        It depends on how full you make them. I just did a different version with less filling, and I got about 10 instead of 8, so the calories were less. Sometimes, I only eat half, so that saves calories, as well.:)

      Newbie make-ahead freezer cooker here- how do I wrap these for the freezer, how long do they last, and how do I re-heat? Thanks! The recipe was amazing, and my 4 yr old non egg eater had no idea! Lol!5 stars

        So glad you liked them! I wrap the individual burritos in plastic wrap then put them in freezer bags before freezing. You can reheat them for about 1 or 2 minutes in the microwave on a paper-towel lined plate or thaw and bake them for about 15 minutes or until heated through. I'll update the post, as well. 🙂
