32 Reviews of Breakfast Burritos for the Freezer

From: Melissa_8201

On May 29, 2004

This is a great idea. My husband and I are constantly grabbing breakfast on the run. We decided that we were spending way to much money on eating out and this was the perfect solution. We can still eat on the run without it costing an arm and a leg. I used about 28oz. of o'brien potatoes, a whole lb. of bacon and added 2 cans of rotel instead of the green chilies and salsa. The recipe made approx. 2 dozen VERY large burritos. One is just the perfect size for us. When I figured up the price per burrito, it was only .60 each. A lot better and cheaper than fast food!! Thank you for the money saving idea!!!

    Awesome! I made these to store for my sons before school breakfasts. They were actually very easy to make. And the taste is great. I didn't use the chilis because he doesn't like them, and used a full pound of bacon and o'brian potatoes. I snuck eating one before putting the rest into the freezer... very tasty! I know he will love them. Thanks! BTW, make sure you have a HUGE pan to make these in. I was having a bit of trouble stirring all those eggs in my standard 24 inch skillet, which is 4 inches deep.

    My kids LOVE these! They are great and 1/2 of one is plenty for me. NOTE: unwrap after the 1 minute of stand- time following microwave time... the paper sticks to the burrito if you let cool too long!!

    Delicious! The first time I made them i did the eggs in batches, the second time, I made them for my neighbour, I made the eggs in a pot and it worked great. These are very good, I suggest as another reviewer did to unwrap them after about a minute because they do stick to the paper if you dont, mine heat up in about 90 seconds in my microwave. Thanks Elissa for something easy and warm to grab on the way out the door!

    Ooops, thought I had reviewed this recipe already. I made these about 1 month ago and still have a decent supply of them in my freezer. Really enojoy them and the only thing I would change next time I make them will be to add more cheese. Just a personal preference as I like cheese quite a bit. These are so versital and you can basically add whatever fits your preferences. Thanks Elissaz for a great time saving recipe for those rushed mornings.

    These are great! I replaced the bacon with sausage and I made the equivalent amount of potatoes O'Brien from potatoes, onions and green pepper, and I made the equivalent amount called for in the recipe. I think I'd like more potato, though. I wasn't able to mix everything together in the same pan. In fact, I had to do the eggs in several batches. I put the eggs in one bowl, mixed the sausage and potatoes in another and went from there. YUM! Made around 17 burritos total.

    I really appreciate this idea. I might just make another batch; it was so easy. I omitted the chilies and used about twice the potatoes, other than that followed the recipe, yet mine only filled 20. I used 10 small and 10 lg tortillas, but I think I overstuffed the small ones, because I didn't wrap them burrito style, just taco-style, with the ends open. Then I wrapped the wax paper tight. I tasted the mixture a bit too late and realized I needed a little salt & pepper, so I just put on a dash of each before wrapping. Thanks for such an easy, delicious recipe!

    Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for this recipe. With hockey season approaching and early morning school and work schedule this really fits the bill!! I omitted the salsa and chillies but added chopped black olives. I believe there could be many variations made to this recipe and I plan on making and freezing these monthly!

    These are great instructions for making breakfast burritos for the freezer. Here are my tips: I got 8 HUGE burritos using 18 eggs, 1 lb bacon, 1 lb sausage, 8 slices american cheese, and about a cup of hashbrowns. We didn't use the chilies or salsa because we don't care for it and next time I think I will leave out the hashbrowns. My husband LOVED having breakfast ready to go from the freezer that he could heat up at work. Thank you!

    These are GREAT!!!!!! And the possibilities are endless. My oldest eats them everyday for breakfast now. Easy to make and they can use up a lot of odds and ends in the fridge. I do use smaller tortillas than called for. They were just too big for him. Thanks for a great idea!
