My Burrito Secrets
Want to know what makes these burritos extra special? Let your vegetables cool before adding them to the eggs it keeps everything fresh and prevents sogginess. Always warm your tortillas first they're so much easier to roll! And here's my favorite trick: add the cheese last it melts perfectly when reheating.
Morning Made Easy
Having these in the freezer is like having a breakfast insurance policy! On busy mornings, my teenagers can grab one on their way out the door. I love knowing they're getting a proper breakfast even when time is tight. The smell of them warming up always brings sleepy faces to the kitchen!
Mix It Up
While this version is delicious, don't be afraid to experiment! Sometimes I'll use crispy bacon instead of ham, or add some hash browns for extra heartiness. My vegetarian daughter makes hers with black beans and sweet potatoes absolutely delicious! The joy of meal prep is making it work for your family.
All Day Comfort
These burritos aren't just for breakfast! They make a perfect quick lunch or easy dinner too. My husband keeps a stash in his office freezer for those long workdays. There's something so comforting about having homemade food ready whenever you need it!
