Breakfast Burritos for the Freezer

I LOVE breakfast burritos. I also love to spend as little time as possible on breakfast on a workday. So I'm making Sunday's breakfast and breakfast for the whole week in one fell swoop.

I got my inspiration from Kim's blog Stirring the Pot here: http://mykentuckyhome-kim.blogspot.com/2012/09/lets-talk-freezer-meals-burritos.html 
and also Here:http://mykentuckyhome-kim.blogspot.com/2012/08/spicy-chorizo-zucchini-and-egg.html 
She's got lots of good stuff posted, check her out.

I'm cooking up Chorizo, Zucchini, Onion and Potato, along with a big batch of Scrambled Eggs and topping them off with CheddarMonterey Jack and Manchego cheese and Chipotle Tobasco sauce.


Looks good. Smells even better. 
Fill em
Wrap em, stack em
This is the first time I've thrown a Zucchini in the mix and it was fantastic! They were so good we were lucky to get 5 (out of 9) into the freezer for later! Looking forward to breakfast this week. I'm also looking forward to trying this filling in a taco as well. 

Freeze em
Here's a rough recipe. Exact measurements aren't essential:

1 Small Zucchini (Diced)
1 Small Onion (Diced)
2 Small Potatoes (Diced)
1/2 - 3/4 Lb Chorizo

  • Cook the Chorizo on med-high first, try to get some browning on it, once cooked through add the veggies. Lower heat and cover. Let the veggies soften and the flavors meld. Pour mix into a bowl, scrap out the pan and melt butter and scramble the eggs. 


9 Eggs
1 Big Splash Milk/Half and Half/Cream
1-2 Tbs Butter
Salt & Pepper

  • You know how to scramble eggs, right?


What do you think of this filling? What do you put in your breakfast burritos? Make it? Like it? Let me know in the comments!

    1. Thanks a lot! Glad you are enjoying it!

      It depends how well you wrap them. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, and then put them in a Ziploc and they should keep for at least 2 weeks. When you reheat them wrap them in a damp paper towel so they don't dry out. Enjoy!
