11 Make-Ahead Breakfast Ideas for Busy Mornings

5. Sheet Pan Breakfast Burritos (batch, freeze & reheat)

Sheet pan breakfast burritos let you make many portions at once with minimal fuss. Roast diced potatoes, peppers, and onions on a sheet pan, scramble eggs on the side, then combine fillings in warmed tortillas. Roll up burritos and wrap each in foil or parchment. For short-term use, refrigerate up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped burritos for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven for 20–25 minutes or in a microwave for 2–3 minutes, turning halfway for even heating. This approach saves time and is easy to customize for different tastes — add black beans, cheese, or cooked sausage. For an Indian-inspired version, swap the potato filling for spiced aloo masala and add a spoonful of tangy green chutney inside before rolling. Pack burritos with a small container of yogurt or chutney on the side to brighten flavors and make them feel freshly dressed.
