Freezable Breakfast Burritos

Ironically, I’ve been having a hard time getting into a cooking groove during this pandemic. Even though I’m now home basically ALL the time, my job seems to have gotten even busier, and I’m in the process of getting my MBA so I seem to have even less time in the day to cook. Which means I need to get back into doing some food prep on my weekends more than ever, like making these Freezable Breakfast Burritos.

Breakfast is probably one of the hardest meals for me to actually make. For one, I’m not terribly good at making eggs. Plus, I’d much rather roll out of bed and start working immediately. So any make ahead recipes that I can quickly heat up are super helpful.

These Breakfast Burritos are perfect for hectic mornings.  They are freezable, so you can take them out of the freezer the night before and just microwave them quickly in the morning. Plus, they are completely customizable to whatever you like in your breakfast burrito! This makes 10 breakfast burritos, so feel free to adjust as needed (my husband and I can polish these off within 2 weeks).

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 (19 oz) bag of tater tots
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, casing removed (you may be able to find just ground breakfast sausage without the casing as well)
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • hot sauce, to taste (optional)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 10 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers

The school year has begun. I don’t have kids, but I am married to a teacher, so this time of year gets pretty hectic. Which means it’s about time I started stocking my fridge and freezer on weekends so weeknight dinners are a bit more manageable.

These Tex Mex Stuffed Peppers are a super tasty (and easy) make-ahead meal. You can cook these over the weekend and reheat during the week, or freeze before cooking, thaw, and cook when ready to eat!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 cup jarred salsa (mild or medium)
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (8 oz) box of yellow rice, cooked according to package directions
