How To Store Your Breakfast Burritos

Breakfast burritos can be a little time-consuming to prepare, which is not always ideal first thing in the morning when you are hungry. Preparing your burritos beforehand solves this problem and means that they can be ready in just a few minutes.

Simply follow the instructions above; however, once your burritos have been rolled, rather than baking them, wrap them ready for the next morning.

Whether storing your burritos in the fridge ready for the following morning or planning on freezing them in bulk, it is important to ensure that they are wrapped and stored properly.

Firstly use parchment paper to wrap each burrito individually before further wrapping each one in plastic wrap. Doubling wrapping your burritos will help them to keep their shape while stored. Using two layers also ensures that they do not become freezer burnt when being stored for longer periods of time.

When making large batches of burritos, a good trick is to store several burritos either in a large freezer bag or plastic container. This makes it much easier to find your burritos and stops them from sinking to the bottom of your freezer and becoming lost among larger items of food.

Each night remove a burrito from the freezer and place it in the fridge to defrost overnight. The next morning all you have to do is pop your burrito in the oven and top with enchilada sauce, and you have a super quick and nutritious breakfast.

For an even quicker breakfast in the morning, you can try heating your burrito in the microwave for a few minutes on high until it is hot all of the way through and ready to eat.

What Other Types Of Breakfast Burrito Could You Make?

I load mine up with mushrooms as you can see! Eating the same breakfast every single morning can quickly become boring and one of the nice things about breakfast burritos is that you can really get creative with different fillings to keep your morning feeling fresh.

A great option to swap out the bacon for leftover meats that you have in the fridge, such as steak pieces or shredded chicken. This is an excellent way of using up leftovers that would otherwise be wasted.

Vegetarian Version

You can use beans instead of bacon for a vegetarian burrito. You can also add extra vegetables to bulk out your burrito and make it even more nutritious. Things like sliced bell peppers and spinach work great in breakfast burritos.
