Easy, Healthy Freezer Breakfast Burritos are great for breakfast AND dinner!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced (about 3 cups)
  • 1 pound pork or turkey sausage (the kind that you can crumble and brown)
  • 8 ounces mild or sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
  • 8 large eggs, whisked until smooth
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup salsa, homemade or store-bought
  • 8 large burrito-sized flour tortillas

Instructions

    1. Pressure cook the potatoes: Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker pot and place a steamer basket inside.  Place diced potatoes in steamer basket.
    2. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 4 minutes.
    3. When pressure cooking is complete, use a quick release. 
    4. Remove the steamer basket and discard water from the pot.  Dump potatoes inside the pot and season with salt and pepper or taco seasoning.  Set aside to cool.
    5. Brown the sausage:  In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown and crumble the sausage.  Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside to cool.
    6. Scramble the eggs:  Pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet and cook until scrambled and set.  Set aside to cool.
    7. Assemble the burritos:  Lay out the tortillas on the counter.  Evenly divide the potatoes, sausage, cheese, scrambled eggs, and salsa onto each tortilla.
    8. Roll the burritos:  Fold the sides in first then tightly roll the tortilla into a burrito.
    9. To enjoy the burritos right away: Warm the burrito in the microwave for about 30 seconds until the tortilla is soft and the cheese is melted OR brush the tortilla with oil and rotate in a sauté pan over medium heat until each side of the tortilla is browned and crisp.  
    10. To freeze the burritos for later: Wrap each burrito in foil, then place inside a freezer safe ziptop bag.  Store in the freezer for up to three months.
    11. To reheat the burrito from frozen: Remove the burrito from the foil and microwave for 3-5 minutes, flipping it over halfway through, just until the insides are heated through.  Brown in a sauté pan if you want the crunchy texture on the outside.
    12. Serve with salsa or hot sauce.

Notes

  • For super stuffed burritos, make 6 burritos instead of 8.
  • For smaller burritos, use smaller tortillas and make 10-12 burritos.
  • Feel free to customize your fillings!  Filling options include sautéed peppers and onions, pickled jalapeño, diced avocado, rice, ham, bacon, etc.
