Breakfast Burrito Recipe:
These breakfast burritos are crisp on the outside and filled with tender scrambled eggs, ham, and plenty of melty cheese of course. If you haven’t tried sautéing breakfast burritos, try these and you won’t want them any other way.
This breakfast burrito recipe is one of the first things I learned to cook when Vadim and I got married (16 years ago!) and they have been a family favorite ever since. Breakfast burritos are excellent with hot sauce or Roasted Salsa but they have plenty of flavor and juiciness just eaten plain.
The Best Tortillas for Breakfast Burritos:
We use medium-sized (8-inch diameter) flour tortillas to make breakfast burritos. We find it is just the right amount of dough to filling for a single serving burrito and it is still easy to wrap tightly without the contents escaping. If you prefer a larger shell, a 10″ tortilla will also work well.
Tips for Making Burritos:
- It’s easier to roll using a fresh pack of unopened tortillas and keep them closed until ready to use to prevent drying and cracking.
- To keep older tortillas pliable and prevent cracking, stack between two barely damp paper towels, microwave 30 seconds and keep covered until ready to roll.
- Do not overstuff or the burritos will be difficult to roll.
Variations for Breakfast Burritos:
There is so much room to experiment and make breakfast burritos the way you like them. My kiddos don’t like mushrooms and tomatoes so I make theirs plain with eggs, ham, and cheese. You can also sauté a variety of vegetables instead of mushrooms such as:
- Finely diced onion
- Chopped Bell Pepper
- Hash brown potatoes
Can I Substitute the Ham?
We prefer ham because it reheats really well without much change in flavor. Some proteins like chicken or beef can taste different when reheated. You can substitute the ham with a different protein such as:
- Cooked breakfast sausage
- Browned bacon
- Black beans for a vegetarian burrito
How to Make Breakfast Burritos:
1. Sauté mushrooms, season and remove from frying pan.
2. Whisk together eggs, sour cream, salt, and pepper then stir in chopped ham and sautee in the same pan.
3. Spread 1 Tbsp sour cream in the center of your tortilla and add toppings.
4. Roll the burrito from top to bottom: Pull the top flap down and tuck tightly under the filling. Fold the edges in tightly and roll to seal with the bottom flap.
To Make Freezer Breakfast Burritos:
- Wrap breakfast burritos in parchment paper
- Label the outside of the parchment with the contents and date
- Transfer to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and freeze up to 1 month.
How to Heat Breakfast Burritos:
Thaw: For best results, we recommend thawing the frozen breakfast burritos completely in the refrigerator overnight, or you can wrap a frozen burrito in a paper towel and microwave for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on high, turning halfway.
Sauté: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tbsp oil. Add thawed burritos, folded-side-down and sauté until golden brown on all sides (2 min per side), turning with tongs.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Hey Nat..we love Breakfast Burritos ! We have made them for years and usually freeze a dozen or so at a time. So easy and handy to have in the freezer ! Thanks again!
You’re welcome, Lydia. Great to hear that you have made this for years! It is such a great recipe to share.
Natasha, you are awesome! Everything I make is sooo delicious.. I am so glad that I found your site. Thank you so much 😊.
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me lovely comment with me! I’m so glad you found my site!
Can you cook these in the air fryer? If so, what temp and how long?
Hi Sharron, I haven’t tested that in an air fryer but it may work. I’d love to know how you like that if you experiment.
Hi Natasha!
Thank you so much for all your delicious recipes. I am not a cook what so ever however you make it so easy for someone like me to follow. Thank you!
I’m so happy you’re enjoying my recipes, Stephanie! Thank you for your great feedback!
Hello, I would love to try this. What can I substitute with the sour cream? My kids & hubby is not a fan of it.
Thanks!
Hi Christine, you could omit the sour cream and it will still work well. You could also add a little bit of heavy cream or half and half (1 Tbsp) to the eggs to add a little moisture.
I often use plain Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream, though they might not like that, either.
I am so happy to have found you you are amazing!! Keep doing what you’re doing my friends and I truly enjoy you!!
Aww, thank you, Lori! You’re so nice! I too am so glad you discovered my blog! I hope you get to try more recipes soon!
This may seem like a silly question but can I use the liquid eggs from the carton?
I believe so. I haven’t tested it myself but it should work fine.
These were so so good. Used butter instead of olive oil, I added leftover guacamole to mine, fresh tomatoes to my husband’s. Used Bella/cremini mushrooms because that’s what I had on hand. They were delicious! We had for dinner, but will definitely make again to stuff the freezer.
Awesome, I’m happy to hear that you loved this recipe, Whitney!
Hi Natasha! My local grocery doesn’t have fresh tortilla, can I still use frozen tortilla wrap for this recipe? any tips?
hi Cha, I assume you’re referring to raw frozen tortillas? I have not tried raw tortillas to advise. If you test that, I’d love to know how you like that.
Can I freeze the breakfast burritos after I cook them. The browning?
If planning to freeze, omit tomatoes on the inside (not absolutely necessary but the texture will be best if you omit before freezing). Wrap each burrito in parchment paper then place multiple burritos in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. To thaw, microwave each burrito 2 – 2 1/2 minutes on high then sautee per the recipe in step 3 until golden and hot. Enjoy!
I just came here to say that the burritos froze just fine with tomatoes, after pan frying. I reheated them with the air fryer (after first thawing) and they were just like when I made them fresh. Thanks
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
I just made these, and they’re delicious! My whole family loved them. I didn’t even get to try freezing them because we ate them all haha 🙂
That’s fantastic! I’m happy that the recipe was a huge hit for your family.
These are such great ideas! I work out a couple of mornings a week and the idea of cooking or eating healthy food–which I need to have the energy to work out—is zero. THis seems very doable! Thanks!
I hope this becomes your new favorite!
Made these last week for the first time. Delicious! I made them with 1/2 lb. bulk sausage browned first, but followed the rest of the recipe but omitted the mushrooms. I got 8 instead of 6! to eat, I put them in the fridge the evening before to thaw, transport them to work, then microwave for 1 min or so, then toast in a toaster oven to crisp. Solves my issue of not wanting to eat sweet stuff for breakfast! Planning to add some onion and pepper next time. Thanks!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Sharon!
Hi Natasha. I love watching your show. You’re such a fun person to watch. I always have, an inside me, chuckle when I watch plus your recipes are great. So it is a win win situation.
Your husband does great at filming the show.
The behind the scenes guy.
Keep on keeping on. You guys are great.
Thx for the show
Hi Tina, thank you for your kind words and good feedback. I hope you’ll love all the recipes that you will try!
If I want to freeze them, can I put tomatoes into it and freeze?
If planning to freeze, omit tomatoes on the inside (not absolutely necessary but the texture will be best if you omit before freezing). Wrap each burrito in parchment paper then place multiple burritos in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag. To thaw, microwave each burrito 2 – 2 1/2 minutes on high then sautee per the recipe in step 3 until golden and hot. Enjoy!
Can’t wait to make these! I think I am going to make a bunch a head of time and freeze them. Have a Sunday Brunch with the neighbors using our Blackstone to crisp them up. YUMMY!!
That sounds like a good plan! I hope it becomes your new favorite.
Hi Natasha! I am new to your blog and I absolutely have enjoyed your recipies! I do have a question about the breakfast burritos. I made these a couple of days ago and seem to have trouble heating the center portion? Do I need to thaw them first? I assumed I could do this from frozen. Thank you again for your wonderful videos!
Hi Melissa, We prefer to eat these fresh. I haven’t tried freezing them to reheat, but I think it could be done. I probably would reheat/bake them in a toaster oven or standard oven, and then, when heated through, toss them on a skillet to get that crisp shell that makes them irresistible.
I thaw in frig overnight, then microwave 12 seconds on high – warms them enough so 2 min/side in frypan makes them hot throughout
Thanks for the tip!
Made them last night for breakfast this morning – my husband & I both love them!!!
That’s so great, Susan! We absolutely love make-ahead breakdast! Makes the morning so much more enjoyable and easy!
Last time I checked, there were 16 TBLSP in 1 cup, which means 1/4 cup = 4 TBLSP. So is it 3 or 4 TBLSP?
Hi Susan, I can only assume you’re referring to the oil in the recipe? We used 3 TBSP of oil in this recipe. If you’re referring to the sour cream, we used 2 TBSP for the eggs and then 1 TBSP per burrito; this makes 6 burritos.
That is 6 TBSP, but 1/2 cup is 8 TBLSP – where do the (2) extra TBLSP of our cream go? Or should it read 6 TBLSP & not 1/2 cup?
Hi Susan, I have that in the list of ingredients: “1/2 cup sour cream, divided (2 Tbsp for eggs & 1 Tbsp per tortilla)” I hope you love the recipe!
You are welcome! It is a great recipe and we are so glad you shared it! I have my hubby on a diet, so I used a very little bit of bacon fat in the frypan to cook turkey bacon to soft for this recipe & drained it: it added a bacon flavour, but only barely covering the pan with the bacon fat, added a lot less calories &yet the bacon flavour. I also used 1/2 low-cal marg & 1/2 butter, which cut some more calories, but kept the flavour. I added soaked sun / oven-dried tomato bits, (I oven-dry plum tomatoes, so 1/2 slices of them or cherry toms work really well) & have frozen & they are still ok – doesn’t add the extra liquid fresh tomatoes do!
Hi, I know, but 1 cup = 16 TBLSP; ergo, 1/2 cup = 8 TBLSP = 1/4 cup = 4 TBLSP. So I am now guessing it is the 6 TBLSP for your recipe, as I have used that or a little bit less than 1 TBLSP on each burrito as I have my hubby on a diet & that worked very well !! Your recipe gallery is awesome, by the way & I thank you!
I’ve been making some of your recipes and we all love it. I wanna try this too for our breakfast but can this be air fryer or oven? If so, what is the good temp and for how long to cook? Thanks Natasha! ^^
Hi Grace! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes! I haven’t tested that in an air fryer but it may work I’d love to know how you like that if you experiment. From frozen we thaw each burrito in the microwave for 2 – 2 1/2 minutes on high then sautee per the recipe in step 3 until golden and hot.
Hey Natasha,
What do you think I can use instead of ham since I am a vegetarian….
You can try black beans or mashed potatoes.
Okay Thanks again!
Do you think these would reheat well wrapped with just tinfoil and then into the oven?
Hi Amanda, I bet that could work. We prefer to eat these fresh. To be honest, I haven’t tried freezing them to reheat, but I think it could be done. I probably would reheat/bake them in a toaster oven or standard oven and then toss them on a skillet to get that crisp shell that makes them irresistible.
Amanda, We wrap in aluminum foil, thaw overnight, and pop them in the air fryer in the morning still in the foil. Heat until heated through – you can use a thermometer to check.
I will make these when my kids come over on sundayn together with your pancake receipe. thank you
Aww, that’s the best! I bet you’re going to have the best time making these!
Love your recipe…I love watching you cook! I’ve tried lots of your recipes. Thank you Natasha❤️ You make me and my family happy!
You’re welcome, Brenda. Thank you for your good comments and feedback!
Can you heat in microwave? I know not as good but thinking for when at work 🙂
For best results, we recommend thawing the frozen breakfast burritos completely in the refrigerator overnight, or you can wrap a frozen burrito in a paper towel and microwave for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on high, turning halfway.
Can these be microwaved to heat up? Or pan only
Hi Milana, you can reheat in the microwave, but I would sautee before enjoying them, or they won’t maintain their crispy exterior. It’s always better to cook once rather than twice, so the food doesn’t break down or lose quality.
Will try that very soon and tell you how it was! :))
I’m looking forward to that feedback.
I just made mine this morning but I only used ground sausage I cooked with onions, scrambled my eggs and then added fresh shredded sharp cheese. Then I put everything together by wrapping all ingredients together and quickly pan frying in butter and olive oil. They turned out beautifully for just making 2. Next time I will try some other ingredients. Natasha, they taste like eggs and meat wrapped in a thin biscuit crust!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
I know my husband will not like the sour cream. Is there something else that I can use?
Hi Trish, you could omit the sour cream and it will still work well. You could also add a little bit of heavy cream or half and half (1 Tbsp) to the eggs to add a little moisture.
I just made these and stuck them in my fridge for tomorrow’s breakfast! Can’t wait to eat them!
Delicious! I love the sour cream in the eggs and the crunch from frying.
Isn’t it so great! I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe, Fran!

Love the recipe. Can I use bacon instead of ham?
Hi Bertie! That should work!
I can’t see why not as I plan on using different meats.
Love your videos of all recipes.
May I ask why added sour cream when mixing egg? I meant did it will make the eggs texture more soft after cooked or…..
It will make it more creamy and rich than milk will.
OK Natasha, got a problem….every dog gone recipe I try of yours is OFF THE CHAIN, like the breakfast burritos I made for tonight’s dinner…couldn’t take a picture because my husband and I ate them too quickly….no kidding. I am going to add poundage to my petite frame if I don’t stop trying your recipes! I hope your laughing by now…..laury
LOL I’m still glad you’re enjoying my recipes! I hope that you and your husband will love every recipe that you will try.
Hi Natasha

You remind me of Princess Poppy! Such a spunky personality Thanks for all the great recipes! I’m so excited to try these.
Thank you for that compliment Ela! I hope you’re enjoying our recipes and videos!
Hi! I made these and the filling was delicious! When I was rolling them up the actual tortilla was breaking and falling apart. I didn’t add a lot of filling (less than what you did) and I used a fresh pack! Did you use raw ones? Mine were cooked/ready to use ones ..
Hi Luba, it sounds like an issue with the tortillas you were using. make sure you use a fresh package of flour tortillas (not corn tortillas which fall apart) and also don’t overstuff the tortilla or it won’t close properly. You might try larger tortillas. A fresh package of unopened tortillas works best because once you open the package they begin to dry out. Cold tortillas will crack more than room temperature or warm tortillas.
hi Natasha! pls can you leave out the cheese? some people aren’t ‘cheesy’. (LOL!)
Hi, if you prefer to leave out the cheese, you definitely can.
Natashen’ka! Thank you so much for this recipe! It’s the 5th recipe I’m doing from your website for the last 2 weeks! I’m so so thankful to you for everything you do! I never really cooked before, and I’m so surprised that everything comes out just perfect, my boyfriend is so happy! Thank you thank you thank you!
My pleasure! Thank you too for giving my recipes a try!
Hi! Excited to make these as ALL of your recipes we have tried have been such success. So thanks!! Do you think I can make these just one day before and then put them in the fridge to fry the next day? I don’t think I have time to freeze them, but want to make them ahead. Thanks!!
HI Amanda, I’m so glad to hear you love our recipes. You can definitely put these in the refrigerator. They are even easier to reheat when they have been refrigerated instead of frozen.
These burritos are awesome for a quick breakfast. My husband and I absolutely love the taste of the burrito lightly fried! We also switch the meat up sometimes, cut up bacon or ground sausage works great.
Isn’t it so good! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you for sharing your review with us!
I made these today, very good
I didn’t have sour cream so I used cream cheese. I’ve never fried them like that before and have to say it’s definitely my favorite now. Thanks
I’m so glad you found a favorite Sansy! That’s so great!
I’m planning to make these and freeze and take them with us camping for an easy breakfast. Question: can I take them frozen and pop them on a cast iron grill/skillet the morning we want to eat them?
Yes that should work. Please instructions on how to make freezer burritos.
Hi, can you freeze them after sauteing them and then reheat in a toaster oven from frozen?
Can I sauté these before I freeze them? Then heat in the microwave them when we want to eat them.
I would sautee before enjoying them or they won’t maintain their crispy exterior. Also, it’s always better to cook once rather than twice so the food doesn’t break down or lose quality.
I am planning to make these in the morning. However, I would prefer bacon instead of ham (even though I eat both, lol). So, should I cook the eggs first then the bacon and then mix them together?
Hello Tasha, you can cook the bacon first and then follow the rest of the instructions which is to cook egg then add the other toppings.
Got it, thanks!
Also, do you have a mini crab ball recipe? If so, you should share in a video. #JustSaying
Hi Tasha, we do not have a crab ball recipe but we do have a shrimp cake recipe HERE. Several of our readers have replaced the shrimp for crab.
Hello, I just bought all the ingredients for these and plan on making a few so they are ready for next weeks breakfast.
I am wondering if there is an alternative I could use instead of sour cream.
Thank you, I am enjoying your site and trying out your wonderful recipes.
Hi Vicky, I haven’t tested this but one of our readers reported great results using greek yogurt in place of sour cream.
Awesome – thank you. I think I’m also going to try a couple with some dijon mustard and see how that turns out. Thanks again.
You’re welcome! I hope you love this recipe.
I made the breakfast burritos this morning and they are soooo delicious, I will definitely make them again. Thank you for the great directions as well.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Betty!
I cooked the breakfast burritos. The recipe was amazing. Thank you Natasha!
One of our favorite make-ahead recipes! Thank you for sharing that awesome review with me!
Tried your make ahead sandwich..It was yummy and I froze four of them key. Keep up the good work Natasha
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us!
What did I do wrong???? The egg mixture is delicious, the mushrooms perfectly browned, the sour cream smeared and the tortilla ready to roll.
That’s where it all fell apart – literally. The tortilla cracked with each fold I endeavored, and the egg mixture all over the counter. Cracks and all, I folded it over, everything spilling out and me greatly distressed. But I wrapped the disasters in wax paper anyway and will try to crisp the mess in oil in the morning.
Has this ever happened to you? My flour tortillas (Azteca) were freshly purchased and opened.
Sigh.
Hi Xenia, it sounds like an issue with the tortillas you were using. make sure you use a fresh package of flour tortillas (not corn tortillas which fall apart) and also don’t overstuff the tortilla or it won’t close properly. You might try larger tortillas. A fresh package of unopened tortillas works best because once you open the package they begin to dry out. Cold tortillas will crack more than room temperature or warm tortillas.
Thanks for getting back to me so quick Natasha. They still tasted delicious this morning! The Flour tortillas were fresh, but they were also cold. Perhaps warming them would have prevented them from cracking. The good news is even though they didn’t look perfect like yours, they still were very tasty!
If I am planning to freeze can I still add green peppers?
Hi Vanessa, Yes they do freeze well even with the peppers. Please see the note just above the print-friendly recipe.
In case nobody’s mentioned it yet, I am fairly sure this would be amazing with hot-smoked salmon – the kind the flakes, not the kind for your bagel
Oh Yum!! Thank you for that suggestion, Svetlana!
i am a new “cook” i dont know anything about cooking whatsoever but her videos make it very easy. love it. i like to see more vegetarian dishes thou
That’s so great, Erkan! Thank you for that awesome review!
I would love to try these. Just wondering if I could use cooked bacon instead of ham.
Hi Linda, yes that would work great to use crispy browned bacon.
Love love love your cooking, you bring such joy to the kitchen. Can these be finished or warmed in an airfryer instead of oil on the stove? N if they were going to be frozen n the only option to reheat was a microwave.. would it be better to brown them n then freeze?.. I know lot of questions lol, but wondering minds wanna know..Thank u for bringing ur little ray of sunshine to my days.. keep up the wonderful job..
Hi Dorothy, I haven’t tested that in an air fryer but it may work I’d love to know how you like that if you experiment. From frozen we thaw each burrito in the microwave for 2 – 2 1/2 minutes on high then sautee per the recipe in step 3 until golden and hot.
How long will they stay good in the freezer? Do you have to sautee them or can you just microwave them? I did make these and they were great!
Hi Olivia, Yes they do freeze well. Please see the note just above the print-friendly recipe
I read the comments and apologize if I missed it…but how long can these be stored in the fridge?
Hi Summer, we normally freeze instead of refrigerating to make sure they don’t get soggy. & they do freeze well. Please see the note just above the print-friendly recipe
These are so amazing. I’ve been making a similar breakfast burrito for a few years, but this gave me a couple new ideas to freshen mine up a bit. Great recipe.
That’s so great Christian! I hope you love this recipe!
My imagination is on overdrive….I am vegetarian, but veggies or oriental style sounds good….how about basting them with a little oil and using air fryer! No tending to it during morning rush.
That sound interesting Cynthia and like a great idea! If you experiment I would love to know how you like this recipe.
Look yummy. i must try.
I hope you love and try it soon!
This is such a great idea! Will help make breakfast time go easier!
It sure will! It’s so good!
My family loved these! Thanks for a great recipe!
Isn’t that the best when the entire family loves it! Thank you for that awesome feedback!
We love breakfast burritos SO much that we had to try this recipe. It was awesome! Everyone enjoyed it.
Awww that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Eden. I’m all smiles!
We love these burritos for a make-ahead breakfast! So filling and delicious!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Anna. Thank you for the wonderful review!
I love that these can be made up ahead of time then brought out when needed.
That’s the best part! Thank you for watching!
Hi Natasha!
Just made this for my family to try out w/ the few ingredients that I had. Everyone loved it! So much you can do w/ this and it’s super fast and easy. Thank you!!
That’s so great Katerina! Thank you for that wonderful feedback! I’m so happy you all enjoyed that!
These were absolutely amazing! We had them this morning with some left over guacamole😊
Hi Diana! I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
Do you freeze these before or after cooking?
Hello Janice, I imagine these are best made and eaten fresh. To be honest, I haven’t tried freezing them, but I think it could be done. I probably would reheat/bake them in a toaster oven or standard oven and then toss them on a skillet to get that crisp shell that makes them irresistible.
I do much of the same thing, but use chorizo instead of ham and add chopped jalapenos for heat. Instead of rolling the tortillas, I simply fold them over in a quesadilla format, wrap with film and freeze for a quick breakfast. I simply thaw them in the microwave for a minute, then put them in a skillet with a little butter and cook to a golden brown on each side.
Easy to open and add hot sauce if desired and delicious.
Thank you so much for sharing your method! It sounds scrumptious and easy! Do you keep the other fillings the same?
I do vary the contents according to mood. But basically the same as yours except for the meat. Folding the tortilla over like a quesadilla is just simpler than the roll and tuck method you use, plus you do not have a big chunk of tortilla at each end.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing your helpful tips with other readers!
Can I freeze this ?
Yes they do freeze well Olga! Please see the note just above the print-friendly recipe. 🙂
Thanks for the pics of how to roll them up, I am embarrassed how I fail at such an easy task! This is also how we make our chicken wraps, browning them in the skillet is the key!
You’re welcome Colleen! I’m glad you find that helpful! 🙂
Omg! I made these the other morning and the fam bam loved them! My son ate his whole burrito, which is a rare thing. He’s a picky eater. I’ll be making this again. Thank u!
You’re welcome Crystal! I’m glad to hear this recipe is “picky-eater approved”! Thanks for sharing your excellent review!
These were so easy to make and were so delicious! Thank you for the recipe Natasha!
You’re welcome Vita! I’m glad you like the recipe! Thanks for sharing your great review!
Delicious!!!!!!! I am always looking for different/easy recipes for breakfast and this one is perfect.
I’m glad you like it! It’s super easy AND so good! Thanks for sharing Liz 🙂
It turned out okay, it takes a lot of work and time and mine don’t look the same st all, but an okay dish. The kids ate it but were not super excited.
Hi Irina, These should be relatively easy to make and assemble. I wonder if maybe you used a tortilla that was too small which would make it difficult to roll up?
Hi, where and when to use butter? I see it in the ingredients list but not in the recipe? I might be totally blind though. Lol.
Hi Zhi, it is in step 2 where I used it to cook the eggs 🙂
Sounds fantastic, I will be trying these soon! Another point, your photos show you can roll a burrito better than most, well done! I will make these and post a comment and you will get a pingback as well.
These are so delicious! Please tell me what you think! Thanks Lee 🙂
Are these free able for later heating?
Hi Amanda! Yes they do freeze well. Please see the note just above the print-friendly recipe 🙂
Thank you for the recipe Natasha 😊My family really liked the burritos! Even my 2 years old loved them😊
I love hearing when the whole family enjoys a recipe! Thanks for sharing your great review Olya! 🙂
Natasha,
These are the best breakfast burritos ever! I made these Saturday morning and my husband said that these are even better than the ones we get from the breakfast place that we usually go to!
That’s quite a compliment!!! Thank you 🙂
Wonderful recipe! Would you be kind enough and make Ukrainian kutja. I want to make it so bad. Thank you 😉
Absolutely, click here for our Kutya recipe 🙂
I absolutely love love these burritos! Always impress my sisters for brunch.
Although, I’d like to make them tomorrow for Saturday. Can I freeze them? Do you recommend frying them or frying them after they thaw before breakfast? Any suggestions appreciated, thank you:)
Esther, please see freezing instructions just above print-friendly section in the post 😀.
I just used this as a food tech assignment. I had so much fun preparing it with friends and looked and tasted AMAZING!
Thanks for the recipe
You are very welcome and thank you for the nice review!
Yeahhhh, if I was pregnant and going about my day in the comfort of my own home, my husband better keep his comments about what I wear to himself or there’s going to be problems.
Great recipe!
Ha ha that’s pretty funny! Yeah, definitely don’t mess with a pregnant woman! 🙂 I’m so glad you liked the recipe 🙂
Such a great idea for breakfast with friends. I preped them night before and in the morning just sautéed them up on the pan. It’s best to do it on the medium-low heat to avoid burned burritos. Thank you much 🙂
I love your idea of making them ahead and serving them as an easy breakfast with friends. So smart!! Thanks for the awesome review and idea!
This may be silly but do you freeze them before or after they are cooked?
I freeze them before they are cooked :). Good question!
I made these today for breakfast. My whole family loved it! And although I think I cook pretty good, my son said it was the best breakfast ever! Thank you Natasha for your talent in cooking and sharing it with everyone! Your recipes are the most delicious ones!
Larisa, thank you for such a great review and you are so welcome 😀.
I just tried this recipe this morning and It was awesome. It was easy and delicious totally loved it.
I’m so happy you loved it! Thanks Dennis 🙂
What can I substitute sour cream with to spread on tortilla?
Thank you!
You can try a little bit of plain Greek yogurt. You could also just leave it out, but it’s nice to make it a little juicier.
Sorry if someone already asked, but can I brown them then freeze to save morning routine time?
Hi Dawn, I would recommend freezing before browning. You can still heat them without browning but you won’t have that same crispness or effect if you do it ahead of time.
Hi there. I love the idea for breakfast.. but i tried making this recipe last night on family bbq.I love it and so did the whole family!!!! Chrunchy outside and juicy from the inside…the cheese just melts like i cnt get enough of them.. thank you natasha. U nvr disappoint me everytym i tried ur recipe.. love u!!
Thank you so much Sara for the great review, it sure means a lot to me 😀.
Wanted to whip up new flavor and boy was it not only delicious but easy. Thanks!
You are welcome Lakisha, I’m glad you like it 😀.
Can these be frozen?
I updated the recipe with a note on freezing. If planning to freeze, omit tomatoes on the inside (not absolutely necessary but the texture will be best if you omit before freezing). Wrap each burrito in parchment paper then place multiple burritos in a freezer safe ziploc bag. To thaw, microwave each burrito 2 – 2 1/2 minutes on high then sautee per the recipe in step 3 until golden and hot. Enjoy!
Hi Natasha,
Just a quick question, have you or someone you know made these with raw tortilla and frozen them? I’m trying to do it for camp. Thank you!
Hi Dana, I have not tried raw tortillas but that isn’t necessary. We just make them like usual and thaw overnight in the fridge then put them on a skillet the next day once they are thawed and they literally taste just as good after being frozen. We just enjoyed them that way today actually.
Yummy! I used uncooked tortillas and they turned out crispy and just perfect!
That’s great to know that it works well with uncooked tortillas. We love those! Thanks so much for sharing your awesome review!
I love this recipe. I made them ahead and my son brought them for lunch and before soccer practice. Crisping the tortillas is brilliant. Thanks for this!
You are welcome Chris, I’m glad you love it :).
I made these for breakfast this morning for my guests and my husband:)they loved them!!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
I just found your website, and this was the first recipe of yours that I tried. My family and I absolutely loved these burritos!! I love all your detailed instructions with pictures! Can’t wait to try some more of your recipes! 🙂
I’m so happy that you love the recipe. Thank you for sharing your wonderful review. I hope you find many new favorite recipes on my site.
Just made this for my boyfriend and I and I absolutely loved them! I changed it by subbing cheddar for mozzarella, bacon for ham, and added spinach and onions and it was terrific. My boyfriend said that this was the best breakfast burrito he has ever had!
Side note: saw what you said about these being pretty juicy so I made sure all the fillings were relatively dry and had them sit on paper towels if needed as to not add excess moisture.
I’m so happy to hear you both loved them! 🙂 That’s wonderful! Thanks Clare 🙂
I usually really love a soft tortilla for my burrito but I’m definitely going to test this out. I don’t think it could be bad;-)
I would love to hear the results :).
I made these for brunch today and they were so tasty! I love the crispy outside and breakfasty insides X) mine didn’t turn out as pretty as yours, but that didn’t stop them from tasting amazing! Thank you!
Viktoriya, thank you for the great review, reading your comment is making me hungry for some breakfast burritos. Maybe that’s what I will have for breakfast tomorrow :).
Hi, can you make these ahead and freeze them?? I’ve made them once and LOOOOOOOOOOOVE them, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to make them before, unfreeze them and then just put on the pan ..
I haven’t tried freezing them but I think it would work well. You can probably thaw in the microwave for a minute or two and then brown/ finish heating on a skillet over med/low heat.
Our menu tonight was breakfast for dinner! This is another Uh MAZING recipe!!! I changed it up a bit though, using all ingredients I have in the house. So, I used Greek Yogurt in place of sour cream, used bacon instead of ham, and omitted the tomatoes. I served it with warm salsa on the side instead. YUMMY! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing your modifications! I love the idea of using Greek Yogurt in leu of sour cream. Mmmm.. 🙂
Thank you.. I would love this for lunch.
You are welcome Nikki :).
Wow, this is amazing, my husband has been making the same exact burritos for me for the past 3 months. Also with Hot Sauce. I am 5 months pregnant. I think it’s the pregnancy cravings! He also varies ingredients depending on what we have on hand. This is why these never get old and I could eat them 3 times a day every day.
We change it up too based on what we have in the fridge. I crave these with hot sauce too! 🙂
Think you could freeze them? Before or after they cook?
I haven’t tried freezing them so I’m not sure which way is best. I think it could work either way.
Natasha this looks A M A Z I N G! Also, so glad to have discovered another slavic inspired food blog. I look forward to browsing through your recipes.
Welcome to my blog and thank you! I hope you find many new favorite recipes 🙂
These look amazing! Do you think that they would freeze well? I’m always looking for quick breakfast ideas.
You’re the second person to ask! To be honest, I haven’t tried freezing it so I’m not 100% sure, but if you do freeze them, I’d probably bake them to make sure they are heated through all the way and then toss them on the skillet to crisp on the outside.
Wear the ugly pants? Haha!
LOL. thank you ;).
So I made these this morning (I made a mistake o.O)
I used olive oil in the pan. The olive oil I recently bought has been bitter so the burrito came out semi bitter. I was delicious nonetheless and will try it with other oils.
Problem is…I gave it to a few guys for breakfast on their way to work. I wonder what they think of me now.. (-.-)
Oh no! But, I’m sure they’ll look past that and appreciate your yummy burritos ;). Was it an extra virgin olive oil? I tend to stay away from that one for cooking. I love using my extra light olive oil which has a higher smoke point and pretty much no flavor for cooking. I buy it in bulk at Costco.
Breakfast burrito is my favorite, but never ever thought of frying them for that beautiful golden crispy skin! I love it. I want breakfast now. Haha
It really does take them to the next level when you toss them on the pan and the cheese melts, flavors infuse; something wonderful happens! 🙂
Yummy! These look amazing 🙂
Thanks Lea 🙂
Craving these burritos for breakfast tomorrow morning.. need to get my hands on the ingredients so I can make them!
ooooh I hope you absolutely love these! 🙂
OOOH EEMM GEEEEE!!! These are absolutely amazing. We made them for dinner today, I know I know, we are weird like that. But you are partly to blame! These burritos are so delish, we’ll eat them any given day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Thank you so much for such a great review! I’ll take the blame ;). I agree these are great any time of day! 🙂
Thank you so much for this recipe! 🙂
PS I can’t imagine anything could look bad on you 😉 You’re so gorgeous & have a perfect baby bump 🙂
Lol. Thank you Anna; you’re so sweet :). You just have to trust me on this ;).
Your breakfast burritos look delicious. Can they be frozen and then reheated as needed?
Hi Christine! You’re the second person to ask and I wish I had tested them out that way. I imagine they are best eaten fresh, but if you do freeze them, I’d probably bake them to make sure they are heated through all the way and then toss them on the skillet to crisp on the outside.
Do you think these could be frozen? Reheating in the micro, toaster oven or in a covered skillet? My husband would love these but we could never eat them all at once. Thanks.
I imagine these are best made and eaten fresh. To be honest, I haven’t tried freezing them, but I think it could be done. I probably would reheat/bake them in a toaster oven or standard oven and then toss them on a skillet to get that crisp shell that makes them irresistible. It’s also really easy to cut down the recipe if you just wanted to make 2 or 3 of them.
I was looking to freeze them too. Wondering if you should freeze them before frying them in the pan. Assembly would already be done and just thaw & fry. Crisp them up and done. This way, you wouldn’t have to worry about them being soggy.

I really wanted to make these for a sunday morning breakfast but didn’t have ham or cheese (and too lazy to go out to get any). Still made them but just added more veggies (zucchini, red peppers, onions) with the mushrooms and it was so good! We ate it with salsa and sour cream. Never thought of frying burritos on the stove. Great idea and definitely boyfriend approved. Thanks Natasha!
I love the idea of making them vegetarian and I bet the zucchini, bell peppers and onions made a delicious burrito!! Thanks for sharing how you made them and I’m so happy you enjoyed them 🙂
Oh man this looks so good!!
Thanks Marina 🙂 They sure are!
These look so delicious. I love breakfast burritos and will be trying these in the next week. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
You’re so welcome! I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! 🙂
I am not a morning person but paradoxically breakfast is my favourite meal of the day! These breakfast burritos are gorgeous! I really have to mix up my Saturday morning pancake routine with these babies. And for the record, I think you have gotta be one of the cutes pregnant mommas I’ve seen. Enjoy stretchy elastics while it lasts ’cause it’s back to skinny jeans soon after. 😉
I sure do love my stretchy pants. lol. Thank you so much Julia 🙂 You’re so sweet 🙂
