How Do You Freeze Breakfast Burritos So They Don’t Get Soggy?

There are two tricks to prevent soggy burritos:

After making the egg mixture, let it cool to room temperature before adding them to the tortilla. If you add it while they are still hot, they will soften the tortilla and create condensation on the inside of the wrapper. This will make it soggy before it is ever frozen.
When defrosting the burrito, remove any wrappers from the burrito and cover with a damp paper towel. The towel will keep the tortilla from drying out and will also allow any moisture to be released as it heats up.

INGREDIENTS YOU NEED

Tortillas – I prefer whole wheat tortillas because I find them more filling, but you could use flour tortillas
Eggs – The number of eggs you use will depend on how full you want your freezer burritos and how many you will be making.
Sausage – Any sweet or savory sausage will work in this recipe but I highly recommend Teton sausages! You could even use homemade breakfast sausage patties!
Onion – Onions are optional but they taste amazing in this dish
Green or Red Bell Pepper – For a pop of color and some flavor!

Make it your own: Add anything you have in the fridge. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe! Try adding cooked bacon, black beans, shredded potatoes, mushrooms, garlic or even canned black beans.

How To Roll A Burrito

Before I show you how I prefer to roll a burrito, know that this is my style. Most people like to fold in the sides first, but this is what I find easier. Do what works for you!

How To Freeze Breakfast Burritos To Prevent Freezer Burn

The best way to prevent freezer burn is to keep the air off the burrito. That means they should be stored in an airtight bag or container. If you don’t have an air-tight container, wrap the burritos in plastic wrap and put them in a freezer bag
If you will be eating the burritos within a month, you can place the rolled burritos on a sheet pan and place it in the freezer. Once the burritos are frozen, place them in a freezer bag and squeeze out the air
Label your bag with the date you froze them, and the date 3 months from then. They should be eaten within 3 months for freshness.
To reheat the burritos, cover the burrito with a damp napkin and microwave for 40 seconds per side.

Important Teaching Tips

The egg mixture should be cooled to room temperature before you start rolling them to prevent soggy tortillas. This can take anywhere from 20-30 minutes.
If the tortillas are stiff or start to tear while you are rolling them, microwave them for 10 seconds just to soften them. Don’t warm them up any longer or they may create soggy burritos.
