Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook your breakfast meat (sausage or bacon) until fully cooked and crispy. Move to a plate lined with paper towel.
  2. Cook your potatoes until golden (pan-fry or bake), making sure they are dry and not steamy.
  3. Scramble the eggs gently until just set; avoid browning.
  4. Let all fillings cool to prevent soggy tortillas.
Assembly
  1. Lay out tortillas on a clean surface.
  2. Add a small pile of eggs, meat, potatoes, and cheese onto each tortilla without overstuffing.
  3. Fold in the sides and roll tightly; wrap each burrito in foil or parchment paper and place in a freezer bag.

Notes

Wrap tightly for better freezing. Avoid placing wet ingredients inside before freezing, save them for dipping after reheating. They can be kept in the freezer for 2-3 months.
