Sheet Pan Breakfast Burritos

Quick Answer

To make Sheet Pan Breakfast Burritos, cook a savory breakfast filling, roll it tightly into warm tortillas, and toast the outside if you want extra structure and crunch. These work because the filling is hot, the tortilla is warm, and the roll is tight enough to survive real life.

Jump to Recipe

These sheet pan breakfast burritos cook a savory filling all at once, then roll it into tortillas and toast them right on the pan. It's a good way to make a big batch of breakfast burritos without babysitting a skillet.

They're a good make-ahead breakfast you can wrap and freeze for busy mornings. Toast the rolled burritos on the pan for a bit of color and crunch.

Ingredients

  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 pound eggs
  • 6 large sausage
  • 1 1/2 cups peppers
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1 cup cooked potatoes or hash browns
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. 1Cook the eggs and the potatoes first so the filling goes into the tortilla hot and already seasoned.
  2. 2Soft-scramble the sausage and stir in the peppers near the end if it belongs in the warm filling.
  3. 3Warm the tortillas briefly so they roll without cracking.
  4. 4Divide the filling down the center of each tortilla, top with cheese and salsa, then fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  5. 5Toast seam-side down in a skillet if you want the outside crisp and the burrito more structurally honest.

Pro Tips

  • Do not overfill or the burritos fight back.
  • Warm tortillas roll better than cold ones every single time.
  • A quick skillet toast helps the seam stay shut.
