Let me share with you one of my favorite morning essentials: High-Protein Breakfast Burritos . This is a family staple that guarantees everyone leaves the house with a satisfied tummy. The combination of eggs mixed with savory sausage and bacon is an absolute hit in my home. Plus, they’re super easy to whip up, which is perfect for our busy Manhattan mornings.
I remember one morning last winter, my kids were running late for a school event. We had only 25 minutes, and these burritos saved the day! It’s always exciting when a meal is both simple and nourishing. For another quick breakfast idea, check out the crescent roll breakfast recipes .
Why you’ll love this recipe
High-Protein Breakfast Burritos are not just filling and tasty; they’re also packed with protein to kickstart your day. You’ll love how customizable they are, whether you like them spicy, cheesy, or loaded with greens. Plus, they make for a perfect on-the-go breakfast without any fuss.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- ½ cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
Step-by-step instructions
Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy. Place olive oil in a large skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering and hot. Pour egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally to scramble, until the eggs are just set but still moist. Stir in the crumbled cooked sausage, crumbled cooked bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined and the cheese begins to melt.
Heat the flour tortillas according to the package directions, either in a microwave or on a dry skillet, until soft and pliable. Spoon an equal portion of the egg mixture onto the center of each warm tortilla. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to enclose the filling completely. Serve the burritos immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Recipe tips & variations
For a veggie twist, consider adding sautéed bell peppers or spinach before rolling the burritos. If you like a bit of heat, a dash of hot sauce does wonders! When I want to surprise the kids, I add avocado slices for a creamy touch.
Storage & reheating
Store your High-Protein Breakfast Burritos wrapped in foil and in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them in the microwave for about a minute or in a hot skillet until warmed through. Be sure not to overheat, or they might become a bit dry.
FAQs
Can I freeze these burritos?
Yes, you can freeze them before reheating. Simply wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. They’ll keep in the freezer for about a month.
What if I don’t eat pork?
Feel free to substitute with turkey sausage or eliminate the bacon and sausage entirely and add more veggies instead.
How do I make them dairy-free?
You can replace the milk with a non-dairy alternative and use a dairy-free cheese to make this recipe entirely dairy-free.
