Print Recipe

These easy make-ahead breakfast burritos are perfect for camping or busy mornings, featuring just five main ingredients and simple prep for a warm, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 6 flour tortillas, 8-inch size
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup fresh salsa
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: ½ cup cooked breakfast sausage or bacon
  • Optional: a handful fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Crack and whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat with a small pat of butter or drizzle of oil until shimmering.
  3. Pour in the eggs and let sit for 10 seconds, then gently stir and fold until just set but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Warm each tortilla in the dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds.
  5. Lay one tortilla flat and spoon about 1/6 of the scrambled eggs down the center.
  6. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, a couple tablespoons of salsa, and optional cooked sausage or bacon and cilantro if using.
  7. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from one end to the other.
  8. Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper.
  9. Store wrapped burritos in an airtight container or resealable bag and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
  10. Reheat in microwave for 60 seconds or wrapped in foil near campfire coals or on a grill for 10-15 minutes.

Notes

Cook eggs over medium-low heat and stir gently to keep them fluffy. Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Wrap burritos tightly in foil to preserve freshness and ease reheating. Add salsa just before eating if prepping far ahead to avoid soggy tortillas. Burritos freeze well for up to one month; thaw in fridge before reheating.
