My husband has a deep affinity for breakfast burritos. In his book there just isn’t a better way to start the day than with a warm tortilla packed with eggs, cheese and some kind of breakfast meat! This Sausage and Spinach Breakfast Burrito gets a lot of play in our house, but today I’m sharing his all time favorite!
This Bacon Egg and Jalapeño Breakfast Burrito is a very close second! It is a southwestern spin on a classic breakfast burrito. The addition of pepper jack cheese and jalapeño adds a spicy flair and pairs perfectly with crispy bacon and scrambled eggs.

How do you freeze breakfast burritos?
- Cool the fillings for 10-15 minutes before assembling the burritos. This reduces the moisture level so your breakfast burritos are not soggy.
- Assemble the breakfast burritos according to the directions with the COOL fillings and wrap tightly in foil.
- Freeze in a single layer overnight, then transfer to a freezer bag.
How do you reheat breakfast burritos?
- Remove from the freezer and discard the foil. Heat on high in a microwave for 1 minutes, then additional 30 second increments as needed until it is heated through. Alternatively, you can heat in a conventional or toaster oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
