That's where this make-ahead breakfast burrito recipe comes in.
Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make these delicious breakfast burritos:
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
Follow these steps to make your make-ahead breakfast burritos:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, and cumin.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the egg mixture and stir until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Lay out the tortillas and divide the egg mixture evenly among them.
- Roll up each tortilla tightly, making sure the ends are tucked in.
- Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- When you're ready to eat, simply unwrap the burrito, microwave for 1-2 minutes, and enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
Here are a few tips to get the most out of your make-ahead breakfast burritos:
- Be sure to let the egg mixture cool slightly before filling the tortillas. If the mixture is too hot, it can make the tortillas soggy.
- If you want to make the recipe even healthier, you can use whole wheat tortillas and turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
- If you're in a hurry in the morning, you can even grab a burrito straight from the freezer and microwave it for 3-4 minutes.
With this recipe in your back pocket, you'll never have to skip breakfast again. Just make a batch of these delicious make-ahead breakfast burritos on Sunday evening and you'll be set for the week.
