These Easy Breakfast Burrito Recipes have been great to fill my kids tummies for busy summer days. We’ll be having our share of trips to the donut shop just for sake of fun summer memories, but for the most part we’ll be taking advantage of these easy, protein-rich breakfast recipes which are great for supporting busy brains throughout the day whether at school or during summer activities like camp, library time or just playing in the yard.
Easy Breakfast Burrito Recipes
Breakfast burritos are a great go-to choice for an easy protein-rich breakfast to-go for busy households like ours. They are super tasty, easy to hold (and travel) and can even be made in batches ahead of time and frozen, then popped in the microwave for those crazy mornings when you’re running out the door! I also love that there are so many options and you can pretty much please everyone by having a just few ingredients on hand!
Here are three great versions that require only a few ingredients. You can gather everything you need and make a big batch of these to freeze for later, or you can make these recipes one at a time and enjoy on the daily. Of course, you can mix and match as your taste dictates. Use your imagination and add other things that might be hiding in your fridge.
We like to mix it up with tortillas, sometimes using spinach, sometimes using whole wheat flour, or fiber-rich, whatever other “flavor” you can find. My go-to wraps are the Ole Mexican Xtreme Wellness brand but there are so many options on the market including gluten-free, cauliflower, etc.
The Sausage and Egg breakfast burrito is my boys’ favorite. Simply brown breakfast sausage in a pan, crumble and then quickly sauté sweet peppers while sausage is browning. Combine with scrambled eggs and wrap in a tortilla for a warm, filling breakfast.

Oh yum, these look delicious. I especially like the look of the spinach, tomato and mushroom egg burrito. I often find mornings such a rush so the fact that you and make and freeze these is such a bonus! x
Yes it is so helpful to be able to prepare in advance sometimes!
How would you recommend this warming them up after they’ve been frozen?
You can thaw and pop in microwave!
