Keto Breakfast Burritos

Low carb breakfast burritos are the perfect make ahead and freezer meal.

You can make them one day and enjoy them all week. Or, freeze them and enjoy whenever you want for the next few months.

Hot, filling, low carb breakfast burritos hit the spot & these are picky teen approved too!

🥘 Ingredients:

• 8 Low Carb Tortillas

You can usually find low carb tortillas in the tortilla section. They even have them at our tiny store in the sticks now.

I have been buying the large low carb tortillas from Costco for a while now and freezing them to keep them fresh.

But, if you want to make it easier on yourself, these are a great price and the lowest carb tortillas that I’ve seen.

• 1 lb sausage Bulk breakfast sausage – or bacon if you prefer.

Add whatever breakfast meat you like here. Chorizo, bacon, ham, or leave it out for a vegetarian option.

You can always add some sauteed mushrooms to fill out your burrito too.

• 12 eggs beaten
• salt and pepper to taste

Most people know how much salt and pepper they like on their eggs. Taste them before you make your burritos to make sure they are just right for you.

• 1/4 cup whipping cream

You can use almond milk instead if you want.

• 4 oz cheddar cheese *shredded
• 4 oz Monterey Jack Cheese *shredded

Feel free to change up the cheeses. We usually use whatever we happen to have ready to go.

• 2 Green onions *optional. Dried onions can be used too.

Green onions are a great, lower carb alternative to regular, white onions.

Optional

• jalapenos chopped
• 2 Roma Tomatoes seeded and chopped
• ¼ cup cilantro chopped
• mushrooms
• 1/4 cup bell pepper chopped

Add your veggie option to the eggs before you roll your burritos to make it quick. If you are adding bell pepper or mushrooms, you might want to saute those first and cook them into the eggs.

👩🏿‍🍳 How to make the Breakfast Burritos:

• Brown Breakfast sausage and set aside. While the sausage is cooking, beat eggs, salt pepper and cream together in a medium sized bowl.

Use the fat from the sausage to make your eggs extra delicious.

• Cook the eggs on medium in the same pan as you cooked the sausage with the drippings. Chop any veggies you want to add while the eggs are cooking (3-5 minutes) or until they are firm.
• Spread all of the ingredients (eggs, sausage, cheeses, veggies) down the center of the tortilla and roll into a burrito.

Serving immediately?

• Bake in 350F oven and serve with salsa or hot sauce.

You don’t have to do this step, but it crisps up the tortilla nicely.

Freezing for later?

• Let cool to room temp for 10-15 minutes and wrap in foil or parchment and store in the freezer (without baking) for up to two months in a airtight zipper bag. Reheat in the microwave for 3-4 minutes until hot or in the oven @ 350F for 30-40 minutes until heated through.

If you are freezing your burritos for later, it’s best to let the ingredients cool to room temp before making the burrito and rolling them.

If the ingredients are hot, the steam might (definitely) make your tortillas soggy.

If you are eating them right away this isn’t a problem. But you don’t want to put hot, steamy burritos right into a cold freezer.

📋Tips & FAQ’s:

Can I double the Low Carb Breakfast Burrito recipe?

Yes, no other changes are need to double this recipe.

How do you store these in the freezer?

I used to just wrap them in foil because we mostly used them for Camping.

If they are wrapped in foil, it’s super easy to just throw a few on the campfire coals in the morning.

But lately, I’ve been digging the convenience at home.

Since foil can’t go into the microwave, I’ve been wrapping them in parchment and securing with a short strip of tape.

Once I have secured all of the burritos, I keep them in an airtight zipper bag.

You can re-heat them in the microwave or oven using the parchment paper method.

How long do the Low Carb Breakfast Burritos last in the freezer?

You can freeze these for up to two months. I bet they would last longer but might start getting a funky freezer-burn taste if they aren’t sealed properly.
