Ingredients
  

Burritos
  • 8 large flour tortillas Look for large (burrito-size) tortillas.
  • 12 eggs Scramble until softly set.
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage Cook fully, then crumble.
  • 2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend Use for melting and filling.
  • 1 cup cooked hash browns Thaw if frozen; squeeze out excess moisture if needed.
  • 0.5 cup salsa For assembly and moisture.
  • 0.25 tsp Salt and pepper to taste Season eggs and adjust to preference.
  • 1 Aluminum foil or plastic wrap Wrap burritos individually for freezing and reheat.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Cook and assemble the filling
  1. Scramble the eggs and season with salt and pepper until softly set, then remove from heat to cool slightly.
  2. Warm the tortillas for 20–30 seconds each until pliable, then keep covered to prevent drying.
  3. Fill each tortilla with scrambled eggs, cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, cooked hash browns, shredded Mexican cheese blend, and salsa.
  4. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos so the filling stays contained.
Wrap and freeze
  1. Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap, pressing lightly so it seals for freezing.
  2. Freeze the wrapped burritos for up to 3 months.
Reheat at camp
  1. At camp, unwrap the burritos and place them on a grill grate for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until hot throughout.

Notes

For the tightest roll, warm tortillas just until flexible and work one or two at a time while keeping the rest covered. Store frozen burritos wrapped individually for up to 3 months; thawing isn’t required. Freezer yes, refrigerator no for best texture—reheat promptly once warmed. Dietary swap: use turkey sausage to lower saturated fat while keeping the same assembly method.
