Not only are these burritos perfect for breakfast, but they also make a fabulous, easy dinner. Just add a side of refried beans and some cilantro-lime rice, and you’ve got a south-of-the-border style breakfast for dinner.

So, how do you make these incredible breakfast burritos? It’s easier than you think! Here’s a quick overview of the steps involved:

First, you’ll need to scramble some eggs and cook some bacon. Then, you’ll add in some diced bell pepper and scallions, and mix everything together.

Next, you’ll warm up some tortillas and fill them with the egg and bacon mixture, along with some shredded cheese.

Once you’ve filled all the tortillas, you’ll wrap them up tightly in foil and freeze them for later.

When you’re ready to eat, simply thaw a burrito overnight in the fridge, or bake it in the oven for a few minutes. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.

Here are the detailed instructions:

Reheating thawed burritos: Let the burrito thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bake it in the foil in a 425ºF oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time. Unwrap the burrito and bake for 5 minutes more, or broil for 2 to 3 minutes. To reheat in an air fryer, discard the foil, spritz with oil, and cook at 400ºF for 8 to 9 minutes, turning at the halfway point.

Reheating frozen burritos: Bake the breakfast burrito in the foil in a 425ºF oven for 45 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time. Unwrap the burrito and bake for 5 minutes more, or broil for 2 to 3 minutes. (You can also use the microwave, but this is not the recommended option, as the burrito is more likely to be soggy and unevenly warmed through.)

That’s it! With these easy instructions and delicious ingredients, you’ll be enjoying amazing breakfast burritos in no time.
