I love the combination of ingredients here: creamy scrambled eggs, roasted veggies and potatoes, crumbled sausage, and melty cheese.
This is a really versatile recipe, too – you can switch up the ingredients as much as you want.
In fact, I have a whole post on mix & match breakfast burritos, or you might be into these vegetarian breakfast burritos with sweet potato. So many options for a tasty meal prep breakfast!
I’ve included instructions below on how to make these sausage burritos ahead of time and freeze for later – plus how to reheat them when you’re ready to eat.
It’s so nice having them on hand whenever you’re short on time in the morning (or craving a filling, savory breakfast – or, in my case, second breakfast because I always want two breakfasts). 🙂

Recipe Ingredients
To make these sausage breakfast burritos, you’ll need:
- sausage (I used ground chicken sausage here, but you can use pretty much any type: breakfast sausage, pre-cooked sausage links, etc. should all work)
- eggs
- potatoes
- tortillas (I like sprouted grain or whole wheat)
- shredded cheddar cheese (or you can grate any type of cheese you have on hand, such as pepper jack)
- vegetables (You can use leftover roasted veggies, or roast any combination you like. I used onions, peppers, and zucchini here.)
You can also add extra toppings right before you eat, such as avocado, mixed greens, diced tomatoes, and/or salsa.
Either way, you’re in for a breakfast treat!

How to Make Breakfast Burritos with Sausage
Making these egg burritos is simple!
Start by cutting and roasting the vegetables. Or, use leftover roasted vegetables if you already have some on hand.
For heartier veggies like potatoes, carrots, or squash, you’ll want to toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast them on a sheet pan at 400 degrees F for about 25 minutes (until tender).
Most other veggies should only need about 15 minutes of roasting time at 400 degrees.
Next, cook your sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Set aside. (Be sure to drain any extra fat from the sausage before the next step).
Then, cook your scrambled eggs in the same skillet, on low heat, until done to your liking.
Place tortillas on plates or a clean surface, then fill with a large spoonful of eggs (I like the equivalent of 1 to 1 & 1/2 eggs per burrito).
Add some roasted potatoes, veggies, sausage, and a sprinkle of cheese, then wrap the tortillas burrito-style.
If you’re planning to microwave your burritos, wrap them individually in a paper towel and either foil or plastic wrap over it, and place in a zippable bag in the fridge or freezer.
If you’re going to reheat in the oven instead, then do the same but with foil instead of a paper towel. If you wrap them tightly, these breakfast burritos will keep in the freezer for at least a month.
As for other toppings (like salsa and avocado), I recommend waiting to add those until you’re ready to eat (after you’ve reheated the burrito).
Frozen Burrito Reheating Instructions
To reheat burritos in an oven or toaster oven:
If using this method, I highly recommend thawing your frozen burrito in the fridge overnight the day before you cook it. Otherwise, it could take a long time for the burrito to thaw and heat all the way through in the oven.
After thawing overnight, place the burrito (in its foil wrapping) in an oven or toaster oven and bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until heated through.
To reheat burritos in the microwave:
This is my preferred cooking method. It’s really quick, and there’s no need to thaw!
Remove the foil or plastic wrap from around the burrito, leaving the paper towel wrapping on. Microwave the burrito on a plate for 45-60 seconds, then flip it and microwave for another 45-60 seconds.
Let the burrito sit for a minute to cool a bit, then unwrap the tortilla. Here’s where you’ll want to add fresh toppings that don’t freeze or heat well (like avocado, salsa, greens, etc.).
Then, re-wrap the tortilla and enjoy!
I hope you love these as much as we do! The grab-and-go breakfast ease is a game changer, especially with the quick microwave cooking method.

Freezable Meal Prep Sausage Egg Burritos with Veggies (Yields 4)
These egg and sausage burritos with roasted potatoes and veggies are totally delicious, nutritious, and easy to make. They're freezable, too!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb sausage
- 4 to 6 large eggs (depending how egg-packed you want the burritos)
- 1 potato (or 8-10 baby potatoes)
- 1 cup of additional veggies (bell pepper, zucchini, onion, etc.)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 whole wheat flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: salsa, avocado, greens, etc.
Instructions:
- Chop potatoes & veggies into small pieces. Roast potato chunks on a sheet pan for 25 minutes at 400 degrees F (or until tender) with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Roast the rest of your vegetables for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Meanwhile, cook your sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Next, scramble eggs in the same skillet (on low heat) until done to your liking.
- Lay out a tortilla and fill the center of each with equal amounts of eggs, potato, veggies, and sausage. Sprinkle with cheese.
- If eating right away, add desired toppings (like salsa and avocado), then wrap the tortilla burrito-style. If prepping for later, wait to add fresh toppings until after you've reheated the burrito.
- (For meal prep: if you're planning to microwave your burrito, wrap in a paper towel and either foil or plastic wrap over it, and place in zippable bag in the fridge or freezer. If planning to reheat in the oven, do the same but with foil only - no plastic wrap or paper towel.)
Notes:
Hearty veggies like carrots or squash should be roasted with the potatoes, because they'll need a longer cooking time than other veggies.
*If saving or freezing burritos for later, see microwave and oven reheating instructions in the post above.
