Print Recipe

These make-ahead breakfast burritos are perfect for camping trips, combining fluffy scrambled eggs, smoky bacon or sausage, fresh veggies, and melty cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla. They can be prepped at home, frozen, and quickly reheated for hassle-free mornings outdoors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • 4 oz bacon or breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup diced onions (yellow or white, sautéed)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • Optional: salsa or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon or sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and drain excess fat on paper towels.
  2. In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter and sauté diced onions and bell peppers until soft and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, and cumin. Pour into the skillet with the veggies over medium-low heat and gently scramble until just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
  4. Mix cooked meat back into the eggs and veggies. Stir in chopped cilantro and half the shredded cheese until warm and combined.
  5. Lay out a tortilla and spoon about 1 cup (approx. 150g) of filling onto the center. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Fold in sides and roll tightly to enclose filling.
  6. Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil or parchment paper, then place in freezer bags. Label with date and freeze up to 3 months.
  7. To reheat at camp, heat burrito wrapped in foil over medium heat on a camping stove for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, or unwrap and warm in a skillet until crispy and heated through.

Notes

Do not overcook eggs to keep them moist after reheating. Use sturdy flour tortillas to prevent tearing. Wrap burritos tightly to avoid freezer burn. Reheat slowly on medium heat to avoid burning the tortilla. Warm tortillas with a damp paper towel before assembling for easier rolling.
