Let’s Talk Ingredients
This batch cook breakfast uses simple, pantry-friendly ingredients to make your mornings extra convenient. Jump down to the recipe card for exact measurements!
- Veggies: We’ll add bell peppers (any color works here), yellow onion, button mushrooms, and potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold). Leave the potato skins on for extra fiber and texture!
- Seasonings: Give your veggie mixture a quick toss in olive oil and ranch seasoning mix for a savory flavor boost.
- Eggs & Egg Whites: The ultimate protein combo! Whole eggs add richness, while egg whites keep it light.
- Cottage Cheese: We’ll blend this into the eggs for a creamy texture and extra protein. (Full-fat cottage cheese works best for a rich, velvety taste.)
- Cornstarch: Helps stabilize the eggs for that perfect fluffy texture.
- Vegan Chorizo Crumbles: Feel free to use any brand you want here! Or, make your own vegan chorizo right at home.
- Cheddar Cheese: Because what’s a breakfast burrito without cheese?
- Tortilla Wraps: Ole Extreme Wellness low-carb tortillas are my go-to for this recipe, but any large wraps will do.
Make Them Vegan
These burritos are super easy to veganize! Swap the eggs for a plant-based egg substitute like JUST Egg, use silken tofu instead of cottage cheese, and opt for your favorite vegan shredded cheddar. Assemble with vegan-friendly tortillas, and you’ve got equally high-protein breakfast burritos ready to go!
Here’s how to prep them
Meal prep breakfast burritos are ridiculously easy to make (you basically just bake one big patty in the oven, then wrap it up!). This is only an overview of the steps. For the full printable recipe, jump to the recipe card.
- Dice the veggies and slice the button mushrooms. Season with olive oil, Ranch seasoning, and salt.
- Roast the veggies at 400°F (204°C) until the potatoes are tender.
- Blitz eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, and cornstarch until smooth.
- Pour the mixture evenly over the cooked veggies. Top with vegan chorizo and shredded cheese.
- Bake until the egg mixture is firm across the whole pan. Cut into 10 rectangular pieces.
- Assemble each tortilla with an egg patty. Wrap burritos in parchment paper, foil, or plastic wrap, then store them in freezer-safe containers.
Heating Tip
When ready to eat, wrap your freezer breakfast burrito in a damp paper towel (no need to thaw it beforehand!). Microwave until the middle is no longer cold, about 2 minutes. For best results, pop it in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes after microwaving to crisp the outside.
Recipe Tips
Avoid Freezer Burn: To prevent freezer burn, wrap these make-ahead burritos in foil, parchment paper, or plastic wrap before storing them in a freezer-safe bag or airtight container. (Double-wrap them to be extra safe!)
Baked Burritos: No microwave? No worries! You can reheat freezer breakfast burritos in the oven. Bake them at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes. For an extra crispy finish, unwrap and bake for 2-3 additional minutes.
Get Saucy: While it’s tempting to add salsa or hot sauce directly into the burrito before freezing, it can result in a soggy texture. Instead, reheat your burrito and then either drizzle sauce inside or use it as a dip.

did you make this?Leave a comment below and tag @liveeatlearn on social media! I love seeing what you’ve made!
These are amazing! I was skeptical because I’ve not had great luck with freezer burritos. I made these vegan by subbing just egg for the egg/egg whites and a cup of silken tofu. I upped the cornstarch to 1.5tbsp for the vegan version, which was perfect. I omitted ranch seasoning, but added red pepper flakes, onion powder, cumin, oregano, paprika and dill to the veggies.
I’m so happy you were able to find a good way of veganizing these burritos! Thanks so much for letting us know how it went – this will be super useful for folks!
What substitute did you use for cottage cheese? TIA
These are a game changer. Absolutely perfect and delicious. A new staple for my freezer. Thank you.
These are awesome. Thanks.
Love this recipe!!
So glad! Happy eating!
I’ve been making these every weekend to have for the week and some for the freezer. I make them with sweet potatoes and black beans and add avocado in the morning. They are delicious and reheat well and I love getting so much protein and fiber first thing in the morning!
Those additions sound amazing! Happy eating! 😀
Amazing! And I found they make 12 substantial burritos. Love these!
You just made my day, enjoy!
I love this recipe so much! I already made it twice! It’s easy, convenient and delicious. It’s perfect as my backup when I’m too lazy to cook. 12/10
So happy you loved it, happy eating!
Would love to try this. Do they need to be defrosted overnight before heating up?
Nope! Just microwave from frozen and then pop them in the air fryer if you have one.
These would be great for camping. How would you recommend reheating without microwave or oven? Thanks.
For camping you can let them thaw overnight and then cook them in a pan over the fire or portable grill until warmed through and crispy on the outside!
✔️ Vegetarian
✔️ High in protein
✔️ Not too eggy tasting
✔️ Can be frozen for meal prep
This checked all my boxes! Mine turned out perfect for me with some tiny tweaks and they really are just as good reheated. Thank you! I’m sure I’ll be making these every month for a while.
I’m so happy to hear they checked all your boxes, and that they reheat well for you too! Love that you made them your own with a few tweaks. Thanks for the kind words, and I’m honored they’re part of your monthly rotation!
Hello,
Thank you for the recipe. It looks good, but I can’t eat mushrooms, do you have any suggestions for what I can use in place of them?
Thanks so much,
Kathy
Hi Kathy! You can totally skip the mushrooms. Great swaps include zucchini, bell peppers, spinach, or even chopped broccoli. Just use whatever veggie you like that adds a little bulk and texture.
