Hearty make-ahead freezer breakfast burritos filled with crispy tater tots, savory sausage, fluffy eggs, refried beans, and melted cheese for an easy and satisfying morning meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen tater tots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 breakfast sausage links, casings removed (about 12 ounces)
- 8 large eggs
- 1/3 cup half and half
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake frozen tater tots according to package instructions until golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage, breaking it apart, for 3–5 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add beaten eggs and cook gently, stirring frequently.
- Add half and half, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking until eggs are set but still soft. Remove from heat.
- Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons refried beans down the center of each tortilla.
- Top with tater tots, sausage and egg mixture, cheddar, Monterey Jack, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately or cool completely before wrapping individually for freezing.
Notes
- Use turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
- Add sautéed bell peppers and onions for extra flavor.
- Freeze assembled (unbaked) burritos for best texture.
- Wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap before freezing.
- Reheat from frozen in microwave 4–6 minutes or oven 30–40 minutes at 400°F.
