Sometimes my best dishes come from ideas that got lost in the recesses of my kitchen cabinet. These make-ahead breakfast burritos are one of those recipes.
They’re easy to prep on a weekend and stash in the fridge or freezer, setting you up for breakfast success all week long.
And did I mention they’re completely customizable? Bacon? Sausage? No meat at all? You make the call. The same goes for the cheese and veggies. Use what you love — or what needs to be used up.

Notes From My Kitchen

- Otherwise, wrap individually and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2 months.
- To serve, microwave for about 2 minutes, turning halfway through, or until heated through
I have a hard time picking my favorite meat and cheese to fill these with, but there’s honestly no wrong answer. I’ve also been known to sneak in a little minced broccoli or spinach to get some extra vegetables in there,
That’s part of what makes this recipe so great. Once you make it once, the possibilities are endless!
