How to make camping breakfast burritos?
In a large cast-iron pan, cook the sausage until cooked thoroughly and set aside. Then add in the diced potatoes to the sausage grease.
If you have another pan you can scramble the eggs separately to save time or wait until the potatoes are nice and crispy and simply pour the whisked eggs over everything. Once everything is cooked thoroughly add shredded cheese and allow it to melt.
Spoon the sausage, potato and egg mixture onto center of each tortilla. Tuck the short ends of the tortilla in and roll to close it up. and wrap in some heavy-duty foil.
Serve immediately or add to plastic zipper bag or portable container until cooking time. These breakfast burritos are not only easy to make but can be made ahead of time for a quick meal around the fire.
How to freeze breakfast burritos?
The freeze option means making these amazing camping breakfast burritos ahead of time for storage in the freezer. The first difference is that you allow the filling to cool before making your burritos. Mix all ingredients together, wrap the burrito tightly in the aluminum foil and repeat the process by filling and folding the remaining burritos. Freeze the burritos in a single layer on a baking sheet, they’ll freeze faster and more uniformly this way. Store the frozen burritos in a gallon-sized zip-loc freezer bag for longer-term storage.

Thanks for this! I’m eager to try these. Could I use frozen shredded hash browns instead of cooked potatoes if I plan on making these in advance and then freezing them?
Hey Andrea!
Yes you could cook up hash browns and stuff those inside no problem. Cook them extra crispy to help them hold up best.
Warmly,
Dani
These look and sound amazing! Should they be defreosted before cooking from frozen?
Hey Amy! You can cook from frozen or thaw them. I do like the add a paper towel around each one when I freeze them if I plan to thaw them. It helps them not get soggy. Hope that helps! ~Dani
Prior to freezing, you wrap the burrito in a paper towel first, then foil? Pull out to thaw, do you just put on campfire w the paper towel inside the foil?
That is how we do it yes 🙂 You can also spray the tin foil if you prefer that, the paper towel just helps it not stick more than anything.
