Can I make breakfast burritos ahead of time?

What can I use instead of sausage in breakfast burritos?

You can use turkey, chicken, or even plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh. For vegetarians, beans or lentils would also serve as great protein alternatives.

How do I prevent soggy breakfast burritos?

To avoid a soggy burrito, let each component cool slightly before assembling, and be careful not to overfill. Use ingredients that are less juicy, like sautéed veggies versus raw ones.

Can I freeze breakfast burritos?

Yes! Breakfast burritos freeze well. Wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. They will last up to three months in the freezer.

How do I reheat breakfast burritos?

To reheat, remove the foil if wrapped and place them in a microwave for about 1-2 minutes or until hot. Alternatively, you can bake them at 375°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through.
