Freezer Breakfast Burritos
Are you always in a rush in the mornings and never seem to provide your kids with a healthy breakfast. Making these Freezer Breakfast Burritos ahead of time, gives you the peace of mind that your kids will start the day off right! This post first appeared over at Real Housemoms, where also I’m a contributor.
Burritos stuffed full of all your favorite breakfast items, sausage, eggs, peppers, cheese or whatever you fancy to put in them. Then they are frozen, wrapped in foil and are ready when you are for a fabulous breakfast. Two minutes in the microwave is all it takes to have a quick and delicious breakfast for you and your kids!!
Ken loves a great quick breakfast and so does Amber. She is very lucky to have a dad that will happily make these for her anytime. Both of them and myself really enjoyed the quick convenience of these wonderful burritos in the morning. They will give your kids a great protein boost to help them study hard at school and carry them easily to lunch time.
Serve some fresh veggies or fruit on the side and you have a complete meal. I like the idea of making mini ones also for the little kids. They would love these too!
Wrap a paper towel around these when you are microwaving to help catch the condensation. It keeps them from getting soggy. They then come out perfectly from the microwave.

I like how convenient these are. When I get busy with work I don’t always have time to make a full breakfast.

What a great idea! My kids love breakfast in the morning but it’s my least favorite meal to cook. Having these burritos in the freezer would be perfect.

I prefer a hot breakfast over a cold bowl of cereal and your breakfast burritos sounds like a perfect solution. I’m sure the my family will enjoy them too! I like the concept of cooking so many meals ahead by freezing them too.
