Those Breakfast Burritos
Yeah yeah - I know the basics. But do you have any additions, methods or tips to making them?
I have far too many eggs at the mo - along with garden tomatoes, onions and sweet & hot peppers. What is the best cooking/freezing method? The best way to re-heat? I have cheese and both dried bacon bits and bacon... along with kielbasa.

This is a little late but here's what I do to meal-prep breakfast burritos. I make homemade hashbrowns, scramble the eggs, add diced ham and cheese (all of it is in specified amounts because I'm trying to lose some weight). It all goes into a high fiber wrap, usually Ole Extreme Wellness. I set the "naked" burritos on some wax paper on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer for an hour or so, take them out then wrap in saran wrap and put back into the freezer until I want them. To re-heat, I wrap one with a dampened (NOT wet) paper towel and nuke it for 2 minutes, 70 seconds, on power level of "6", it comes out nice and hot and the cheese is melty. Obviously, you'll need to time it with your microwave.
Add-ins or substitutions I've used that work: cooked veggie sausage and/or turkey sausage, roasted veggies and/or sauteed veggies (like broccoli and cauliflower and peppers/onions), diced sweet potato, and smashed tater tots (did not like these as the salt content was too high for me.)1 -
Thank you! I love the suggestion to first freeze them without wrapping. I haven't heated one up yet, so I will try the damp paper towel method when I do.0
