Simple Breakfast Burritos (Bulk Prep)

Total Time: 45 minutes · Servings: 13 · Calories: 324 kcal

Ingredients

  • 24 Eggs
  • 600 g Egg whites (about 6 cups)
  • 1 tsp each salt/pepper/garlic/onion and paprika powder
  • 3–4 shakes Hot sauce (optional)
  • 24 Sausage links (I used precooked chicken sausage links)
  • 13 Slices American cheese
  • 13 Low carb tortillas or regular burrito size (see notes)
  • 1 tsp Butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Heat a frying pan to medium-low heat, add 1 tsp of butter.
  2. Whisk together eggs, egg whites, salt, pepper and hot sauce.
  3. Pour 1/3rd egg mixture into frying pan to scramble.
  4. Once egg mixture is cooked through (not runny), take off burner, set aside in a separate large bowl. Repeat until you used up the egg mixture.
  5. Cook up sausage according to package, chop up and add into cooked egg bowl, mix up mixture and let cool for 10 minutes or refrigerate overnight (cooled mixture will wrap better in tortillas).
  6. Heat another fry pan on low. Place tortilla on your clean work space.
  7. Add 1 slice of American cheese, folded in half — place each half in the middle of the tortilla making a cheese line.
  8. Measure 1 cup of egg filling into middle of tortilla.
  9. Take 2 sides of tortilla and fold them towards the middle.
  10. Now take the side closest to you and fold all the way to the other side, press down and slide tortilla back towards you with filling (be careful not to slide it too tight or tortilla may rip). Once back enough, roll away from you. You have a burrito!
  11. Repeat with remaining tortillas and set aside.
  12. Once all are rolled up, place 2–3 at a time, seam side down first, onto hot frying pan. Grill until golden brown and flip 1–2 mins (this step is completely optional but really helps seal the burrito together).
  13. Once burritos are cooled, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, place burritos in freezer until frozen. Wrap or bag up for storage.

Notes

Refrigerate burritos up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months for freshness.

Heating up from frozen: place burrito on a plate with a damp paper towel, heat for 6 mins on 1/2 power, turning it over halfway through. After heated through, you may like to crisp the tortilla up with a hot fry pan.
