How to serve breakfast burritos

  • Warm a stack of flour tortillas in the oven in foil at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

  • Place out topings such as shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, salsa and hot sauce.
  • Add a tray of fruit to round off the meal, or even pastries such as muffines or scones.

Recipe FAQs

Can I cook this overnight?

No, cooking eggs overnight in the slow cooker is a disaster; it will burn and stink up your house—Cook breakfast burrito filling for 3 hours on high stirring every 30 minutes to an hour.

Can I leave out the vegetables?

Yes! You can leave the vegetables out of this dish with no issue!

Variations

Denver – Make this Denver omelet flavored by adding ham instead of bacon and sausage.
Loaded veggie – Skip the meat, but keep the veggies and use swiss cheese instead of cheddar jack.
Kielbasa – Brown an entire sliced kielbasa and add to this recipe for a different flavor.

How can I stretch this to feed more people?

Use small flour tortillas for serving to stretch this recipe, it’s hard to add much filling to tiny flour tortillas, and you’ll serve at least 12-15 people!

Can I make breakfast tacos?

Yes! We love this recipe with skillet browned corn tortillas; it gives it a whole new flavor. Be sure to add hot sauce to your breakfast buffet.

Can I halve this recipe?

Yes! You can cut this recipe right in half. You will only need to cook on HIGH for 2 – 2.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

Yes, you can freeze the leftover filling for up to three months. Or you can drain the filling well (it’s very moist) wrap up your burritos then freeze. Thaw and cook in the oven or microwave.

        I don’t see why not! If it was me I would just chop the vegetables, and brown the meats, and put in the bag. Add to eggs and milk the day you want to use it.

      If I want to add potatoes should I add them to the slow cooker with all the other ingredients?

        They would have to be cooked, this is just cooking the eggs and slightly cooking the peppers and onions. I’m even unsure if frozen hashbrowns would be good, they may have a raw flavor in this recipe.
