Ready. Get set. Hit that easy button. These Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos are the perfect meal prep breakfast option. You can make 6 servings at one time, and then store them for breakfast (or lunch!) for the week. It’s like a breakfast burrito assembly line if you will – lay out your tortillas, add each ingredient, roll them up, and heat or store them in the fridge or freezer.
It is super easy to adjust these to meet your nutrition needs. Need more protein? Add more eggs and/or beans. Need more carbs, add some more potatoes or use a bigger tortilla. You might even need to eat two of these bad boys, depending on your individual nutrition needs. I also like to add sriracha to mine <because you know how much I love sriracha>. The additions are endless, folks.
You can heat these up quickly in the microwave or crisp them up on a skillet or air fryer <see below>. I personally love a little crispy outside, so I microwave mine and then finish it off in the air fryer for a couple of minutes – perfection!

- To wrap the tortillas, grab the right side and cover all the fillings. Pull this back towards the right, tucking the ends in as you roll. This should keep all the fillings in. Wrap in Saran Wrap or foil & freeze.

Hello! I am curious about the combo of eggs + egg whites. What’s the nutritional rationale for that?
This might be a dumb question. I’m pretty novice about nutrition. 🙂
The egg whites add additional protein without extra fat (already have fat from avocado oil, whole eggs and cheese).
