Breakfast Burritos For The Freezer Recipes

FREEZER BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Cook tots according to package directions until crispy. Cool about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add sausage. Cook, stirring to crumble, until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon, reserving drippings in skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add bell pepper and scallions to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add eggs; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until eggs resemble small curds and are no longer wet, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in salt and pepper. Cool about 10 minutes.
• Tear 8 (15- x 12-inch) sheets of aluminum foil. Place 1 tortilla on 1 foil sheet; sprinkle tortilla with about 1/3 cup cheese. Top with 1/3 cup scrambled egg mixture, 1/4 cup crumbled sausage, 6 tots, and 1 teaspoon cilantro. Fold sides of tortilla over filling; roll up. Wrap burrito in foil. Repeat process using remaining tortillas, cheese, egg mixture, sausage, tots, and cilantro. Freeze burritos, or heat as desired and eat immediately. Serve with salsa.

FREEZE-AND-REHEAT BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble into bits. Keep skillet warm.
• Whisk eggs, milk, and salt together in a bowl. Pour into the hot skillet. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until eggs are set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add frozen potatoes, garlic salt, and pepper. Fry until browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until other side is browned, 4 to 5 minutes more. Let cool.
• Cut 10 squares of aluminum foil slightly larger than the tortillas. Lay 1 tortilla on each square; evenly distribute Cheddar cheese on top. Add eggs, bacon, salsa, and potatoes to each tortilla, in that order. Tightly roll the burritos, tucking tops and bottoms in first.
• Wrap aluminum foil tightly around each burrito, covering it completely. Place in resealable plastic bags in a single layer. Remove as much air as possible from the bags before sealing. Store in the freezer until ready to reheat.
• Reheat by removing the aluminum foil, placing the burrito on a microwave-safe plate, and topping it with a paper towel. Heat in the microwave until evenly warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
