Okay, so they might not save your life but they will save you time…which is good for life, right?!
Breakfast burritos do not just have to be for breakfast! Serving breakfast for lunch or dinner is perfectly fine, in fact it is encouraged! Common breakfast foods such as eggs, whole grain pancakes, toast, fruit, lean breakfast meats, and even oatmeal are filling, nutritious, and easy to make (a win-win for making a quick lunch or dinner).
These make ahead breakfast burritos are perfect for any busy family, athlete, or human just trying to survive their busy schedule!
Make this recipe your own by adding the veggies in your fridge or freezer. I used sweet potatoes, onions, and kale – I love that combination and always have frozen chopped sweet potatoes and frozen chopped onions on hand. If you prefer a different combination, try it! Add your favorite veggies (or do a “veggie dump” of all the produce going bad in your fridge) to these breakfast burritos and see what concoction suits you best.
I like adding beans because (1) they add more protein and (2) more fiber too!
I make these burritos at breakfast on the weekends when I have time afterwards to wrap the extra burritos into tin foil. It saves so much time during the week to have a homemade “freezer meal” handy for an easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner idea!
