Make-Ahead Breakfast Burritos You Can Meal Prep on a Sheet Pan!
You’ll be able to wake up and enjoy a hearty meal all week long thanks to these easy sheet pan breakfast burritos.
Let’s face it. Mornings can be chaotic and overwhelming. If you are looking for a smart way to create yummy breakfast burritos ahead of time, grab a sheet pan and let’s go!
We posted a similar sheet pan breakfast idea years ago, but today we’re taking things a bit further and rolling the filling into high-protein breakfast burritos. You can even use a low-carb tortilla to save on carbs and calories if you’d like. I first saw the sheet pan burritos on this Instagram video and was excited to make my own version!
The secret is a sheet pan.
By cooking your breakfast essentials like potatoes, bacon, and eggs all on one tray, you cut down on dishes and prep time. Then, just chop, wrap, and freeze. It is the ultimate breakfast trick for busy families, meal preppers, and anyone who needs coffee before thinking clearly.
You can easily switch up the type of potatoes or use sausage instead of bacon. This recipe is super easy to customize and uses only five basic ingredients that can really stretch for a crowd. I added cottage cheese for extra protein, but that’s totally optional. This could be a great way to use up leftover ham or veggies that are close to being tossed, too.

More tips for these make make-ahead Breakfast burritos:
- I used a jelly roll pan that measures 15 x 10 inches. I am sure anything similar will work with a lip around the edge.
- How to warm up frozen breakfast burritos? I love the microwave and air fryer combo for great texture and taste! I will warm up for 90 seconds in the microwave first and then add it to the air fryer at 350 for about 4 – 5 minutes until cooked.
- When freezing in a Ziploc bag, try using a straw to suck out all the air before closing. It’s a little DIY trick that works much like a vacuum sealer!
