Serve
Omit the sausage and add 1 cup of black beans (rinsed and drained) and 1 chopped bell pepper (sautéed with the onion).
Replace the breakfast sausage with an equal amount of Mexican chorizo for a spicier, more robust flavor. Cook until crispy and drain the grease well.
Wilt a large handful of fresh spinach or kale in the skillet after cooking the sausage and add it to your burrito for extra nutrients.
Swap the cheddar for pepper jack for a little heat, or use a crumbled cotija or queso fresco for a more authentic Mexican flavor.

While high in calories and fat, this breakfast burrito is also packed with protein and carbohydrates, making it a great option for a filling meal that provides sustained energy.

Yes, these are perfect for meal prep. Assemble the burritos after the fillings have cooled completely, then wrap them individually in foil and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
For the best results, thaw the burrito in the refrigerator overnight. Then, you can either microwave it for 1-2 minutes or heat it in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes until hot. Searing it in a dry pan after reheating will restore its crispy exterior.
The key is to ensure all your fillings are relatively dry and have cooled down before assembling. Drain the sausage well and don't use wet ingredients like fresh salsa inside the burrito (serve it on the side). Searing the burrito after rolling also helps create a barrier.
