FREEZER BREAKFAST BURRITOS



Freezer Breakfast Burritos image

Rise and shine with fix-and-freeze breakfast burritos. Sausage, cheese, potato tots, and scrambled eggs. Sounds like a great meal, right? Delicious breakfast burritos have quickly become one of the most popular items at fast-food restaurants and, when packed with all these satisfying ingredients, it isn't hard to understand why. Spend a little time in your kitchen and you can make your own sausage burritos for a family-style breakfast or lazy brunch, and even stash some in the freezer for on-the-go meals. Here is how to freeze a breakfast burrito: once you have assembled them, wrap burritos individually in foil. Freeze in a single layer until solid, about 2 hours. Place frozen burritos inside a plastic freezer bag, seal, and keep up to 3 weeks. To reheat a freezer breakfast burrito, remove foil from a thawed burrito, place it on a paper towel-lined plate and microwave on HIGH until heated through, about 2 minutes.

10 large eggs
3 tablespoons milk

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes with peppers and onion (such as Ore-Ida® Potatoes O'Brien®)
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
10 large flour tortillas
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup salsa, or to taste
