This Breakfast Burrito is the perfect breakfast, or make a bunch and freeze them for those crazy mornings.
Breakfast has always been my favorite meal, I never skip it, its just a great way to start the day. These babies are packed with so many layers of flavor, eggs, sausage, bacon, veggies, tots and of course cheese. Although they are really very versatile, you can add whatever veggies you have on hand or leave them out all together. If you’ve never enjoyed a breakfast burrito before this one is a must try!
Breakfast is my favorite meal, we eat these burritos a lot. This recipe has bacon, sausage, tator tots and cheese with just a hint of spice with the jalapeno and freshness from the tomatoes and cilantro all wrapped in a tortilla blanket….Yummy!
Give these simple savory breakfast bundles a try, your family will thank you. You might also want to check out my Open-Faced Breakfast Sandwich for another easy and delicious breakfast.
I usually make a bunch of these and wrap them up in this plastic wrap and put them in freezer bags. Perfect for a quick grab and go breakfast on those rushed mornings.
Ways to heat these breakfast burritos!

Recipe Notes
**Note** You can easily double this recipe and freeze them. Just wrap each one in some plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Then just remove the plastic wrap and wrap in a moist paper
For frozen burritos- wrap a damp paper towel around frozen burrito and heat in microwave for 2 minutes. Then 30 second increments after that until heated through.
No they don’t keep their crunch. But they don’t get soggy either.
Yay Janice! So happy you both loved them 🙂
I just made a batch of these and had enough left to make two small sample burrito’s and both my husband and myself loved them! It takes some time to prep everything but worth it. I will definitely make these again as well as share the recipe with friends.
Do the tater tots stay crispy if you freeze and reheat?
Looks ayyyyyymazing!!! Can’t wait to try em! Thank U so very much for sharing! We ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOVE Breakfast Burritos 😘
Yes Tina I would still bake the tator tots 🙂
hi do i need to cook the tots in the oven if i m planing on freezing these burritos
I would make and assemble the burritos and wrap each one in saran wrap then reheat in microwave. If you reheat all the filling when its all mixed together you will have a cheesy mess. Hope this helps Kim! 🙂
Making for a large group Could u mix the mixture up ahead of time and reheat it and then put it in the tort shells?
Oh Yay Jodi, I’m so glad you loved them! We make them a lot in our home 🙂
Just made these and so awesomely good ! Making for my bf breakfast to take to work.
What a fantastic idea Lena!
These look super good! What I’m going to do with these is wrap them up and bring them in the cooler when going camping! Then we can just heat them up by the fire and enjoy a breakfast for champs!
Looks delish! Giving this a try this weekend.
