These make-ahead breakfast burritos are perfect for camping trips, offering a quick, hearty, and flavorful meal that reheats easily over a campfire or stove.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 8 ounces cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (spicy or mild)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (mix colors)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • Salsa or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add crumbled sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with salt and pepper. Heat remaining oil in the skillet, pour in eggs, and gently scramble until just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
  4. Combine the cooked sausage and veggies with the scrambled eggs. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro if using.
  5. Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about ⅓ to ½ cup of filling onto the center. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from one end to the other.
  6. Wrap each burrito individually in foil or parchment paper.
  7. For make-ahead convenience, place wrapped burritos in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to 2 months or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  8. At the campsite, unwrap burrito and heat over a camp stove skillet or directly on a grill until warmed through and cheese melts, about 5-7 minutes. Alternatively, microwave if power is available.

Notes

Do not overcook eggs; keep them slightly creamy to maintain moisture. Avoid overstuffing burritos to prevent tearing. Use foil for wrapping to keep burritos warm and intact. Reheat on medium heat to avoid burning tortillas. Add fresh herbs like cilantro just before rolling or after reheating for best flavor. Keep wet ingredients like salsa on the side when freezing to prevent sogginess.
