Simply the BEST Breakfast Burritos
Did someone say tooting their own horn? But really, these breaky burritos are top notch. Promise. The perfect thing about breakfast burritos is you can really add anything you like! Well, almost anything… Look, as much as I’d love to throw every hot breakfast ingredient there is straight into a burrito, it’s just not realistic. So, we’re gonna have to pick some faves. Here’s what made the cut:
Best Breakfast Burrito Fillings
Crispy Fried Potatoes Scrambled Egg Chorizo Beans (more on these in just a sec) Cheese Avocado
The fantastic 5 if you will.
Preparing Breakfast Burrito Fillings
When it comes to preparing burritos I try and keep things as simple as possible. As such, all the fillings can be made in one pan. Woo hoo! Fry the potatoes in a little olive oil until nice and crispy, then remove. Next up, melt in some butter and make your scrambled egg. Take them out, then start on your chorizo beans.
Chorizo Baked Beans
For me, these really is the star of the show. Breakfast burritos are great, but breakfast burritos with chorizo beans?! Absolute heaven. Here’s what you’ll need:
Chorizo Baked Beans Ingredients
Cannellini Beans Chopped Tomatoes Paprika, Cumin & Sugar Worcestershire Sauce & Tabasco Onion & Garlic
I know it seems like a fair few ingredients, but it’s truly worth it. For heavens sake please don’t just sub regular baked beans 😢 Okay, so fillings are ready, let’s move forward.

How to cook a Breakfast Burrito
You’ve really got 3 options here. First is to pan fry, second is to oven bake and third is to actually just serve them right up after you’ve folded them. I find it best/easiest to pan fry them in a dry griddle pan. This is the quickest method and gives you those gorgeous crispy grill marks 😎 To grill the burritos just place them seam side down on a griddle pan (can use a regular pan) over medium-high heat and slowly rotate until golden with grill marks with a pair of tongs
Do I have to cook Breakfast Burritos?
Because all the fillings are already cooked/don’t need to be cooked, you can just eat the burritos after you’ve rolled them!
How do you oven bake Breakfast Burritos?
Simply wrap them up in foil after you’ve folded them and pop them in the oven at 180C/356F for 15-20mins, or until slightly crispy and hot through the centre. The advantage to baking is that it’s less effort, but the obvious downfall is that it’s more time!
Make ahead Breakfast Burritos
These are perfect to make ahead and pop in the fridge or freezer. Just wrap them in foil after you’ve folded them and pop them in the fridge/freezer.
How to cook make ahead Burritos
To cook straight from the fridge, add an extra 10mins to baking time. To cook from frozen, add an extra 15-20mins. You can pan fry straight from the fridge (just lower the temp slightly) but I don’t recommend frying straight from frozen. Allow the burrito to defrost beforehand. And breathe. We made it 🤣 My breakfast burritos knowledge has officially spilled. Okay, someone grab me the sour cream, I’m starving all over again 😋 To the full recipe we go!!
