Here is the best way to make this delicious recipe!

- Cut heat of skillet to low. Drain most of the excess grease.
- In a separate bowl whisk together eggs, egg whites and seasonings.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir frequently and cook until eggs are cooked through scrambled.
- Add the cooked pieces to the egg mixture.
- Sprinkle the scramble mixture with plenty of cheese and let sit for about a minute, until melted. Turn off heat and let cool.

How to store and meal prep bacon breakfast burritos
To meal prep, make according to instructions. Wrap burritos in aluminum foil and store in a sealed bag or airtight container in the fridge. See below for instructions on how to freeze!
How to reheat this recipe
No matter the time of day, when you're ready for your next meal, simply take out the burrito and reheat in the microwave until your desired temperature. Adding a damp paper towel on top of the burrito before you microwave will help seal in moisture. A frozen burrito will take longer to heat than one stored in the fridge.
Don't forget to add your favorite toppings and different fillings after you've heated your burrito. Adding a side like a fruit salad or Greek yogurt would be delicious, too!

Delicious! I pulled a frozen breakfast burrito out to get to my baby’s first pediatrician appointment on time, and it did not disappoint! My husband loved them too! We reheated in the microwave and then finished them off in the air fryer and they were fantastic!
