Easy Meal Prep Breakfast Burritos (2024)

High protein, low-calorie meal prep breakfast burritos are filled with scrambled eggs and egg whites, avocado, cheddar cheese, and bacon to make eating a healthy breakfast a whole lot easier.

Make Ahead Breakfast

Getting a healthy breakfast in the morning can be tough, especially if you're eating a high protein diet. Most pre-made breakfasts tend to be pretty heavy on the fat and carbs and not so much on protein. So I meal prep breakfast A LOT.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Eggs and Egg Whites: Each burrito will end up with about 1 egg and 2 egg whites. If you're not eating a low-calorie diet, feel free to make it all whole eggs. Substitute the egg whites with 3 additional eggs.
• Cheese: I like cheddar cheese with my breakfast burritos, but you can really use any cheese you like.
• Avocado: After a couple of days, the flavor of the avocado will start to get stronger. If you want to serve it with guacamole on the side or have the avocado separate, that works as well.
• Center Cut Bacon: I used center cut bacon because it tends to be a little lower in calories - but any bacon, sausage, or ham will work deliciously. It will, however, change up the nutritional value.

LOW CARB TORTILLAS

The tortillas I use are La Banderita Carb Counter and are only 45 calories each. There are several other brands out there that are just as good, but these are my favorite.

ASSEMBLY

Assembling meal prep breakfast burritos burritos is pretty straight forward. Simply divide all the ingredients out evenly over your 6 tortillas.

I seal up both ends when rolling them up so they're easier to eat and wrap in foil. I fold the ends in first, then fold one side over, tuck it under the ingredients and then tightly roll them up.

If these are for meal prep, I'll have 6 small sheets of foil waiting wrap them in to keep them tight and fresh.

Fresh Pico De Gallo

Fresh, homemade pico de gallo goes great with these burritos. All you do to make it is marinade 1diced Roma tomato, 2tablespoonsminced onion, 1garlic cloveminced, and 2tablespoons of mincedcilantrominced in the juice of half a lime. If you want a little extra kick - add ½ a jalapeño, minced.

Storage and Freezing

Store the burritos in the fridge for up to 5 days. Wrap them in foil or store them in an airtight container like a zip-top bag or storage container.

FREEZING

Breakfast burritos freeze great, BUT you're going to wanna ditch the avocado if you're planning on storing these in the freezer.

Place the foil-wrapped burritos in a large freezer bag and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 months. Don't even worry about thawing them, just reheat them in the microwave right away for 90 seconds.
