Making a nutritious breakfast has never been easier. I love using my freezer to store protein-packed breakfasts like these Ground Beef Breakfast Burritos! It’s so easy to whip up a huge batch and then freeze them for later.
Using Ground Beef in these make-ahead breakfast burritos is a great way to make sure the burritos are filling and nutritious. I know I’m always looking for filling breakfast options for myself and my kids, especially on busy school mornings!
Beef is such a great option for a back-to-school meal and the first meal of the day because it has protein, iron, and zinc that support healthy brain development and function now and for the future. Plus, it tastes amazing!
Another thing I love about making breakfast burritos with Ground Beef is that it’s so easy to pair it with other great filling options. I love to pack veggies into these burritos so it’s a balanced meal, all in one tidy package.

How to Wrap Freezer Breakfast Burritos
- Start by tearing a piece of parchment triple the width of your burrito. Wrap the burrito lengthwise, so that the ends are long.
- Fold the parchment ends to either side of the burrito.
- Next, rip a medium-sized square piece of aluminum foil and place the burrito on one corner.
- Wrap it up halfway, fold in the sides, and then continue wrapping.
- Place the wrapped burritos in labeled freezer bags and store for a busy morning!
I know you’ll love these Ground Beef breakfast burritos as much as we do! Your whole family will be able to get a filling breakfast in, no matter what their schedule is like in the morning!
