What makes this the Best Breakfast Burrito Recipe
Who is hosting visitors this holiday season!? I am, and I LOVE having visitors but I always feel a little stressed when it comes to feeding people three meals a day. What it comes down to is that I just don't love doing tons of dishes, and when you cook for groups the dishes can get crazy. That's why I always try to use my slow cooker as much as possible when I have company. It keeps the mess at a minimum and I can let the slow cooker do the work of making meals while I spend time with my guests!
I find overnight crockpot breakfasts to be ideal. The food is basically ready when everyone wakes up!
The week before Thanksgiving we had some visitors so I made some super easy slow cooker breakfast burritos (they cook overnight) and they were really a crowd-pleaser. It was a cheap way to feed a crowd, too. I so highly recommend this! To go along with this slow cooker breakfast, you could wow your guests with Avocado Egg Toast, Monkey Bread, or see some more ideas on our breakfast page!
After you cook the filling in the slow cooker, you can warm up some tortillas, add toppings, and enjoy!

Best Breakfast Burritos Recipe FAQs
To prevent sogginess, ensure that your fillings are well-drained and not too watery. Avoid overfilling the burritos.
Dry breakfast burritos can result from overcooking the filling ingredients, especially eggs or meat. To avoid dryness, cook fillings until they are just cooked through and still moist. You can offset dryness by adding moisture-rich ingredients like salsa, avocado, or cheese to the filling.
Breakfast burritos generally reheat well.
To reheat, unwrap the burritos from any packaging.
Microwave: Place them on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
Oven: You can reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed to your liking.

I loved doing this in the slow cooker on a busy brunch morning. The best recipe!!
Jessica
Yay! Thanks for letting us know.
Tamyara
Do you thaw the hashbrowns first?
Sarah
No, I just throw them in frozen!
Ashley Diethrich
I have hashbrowns that are thawed. Do you think that will be fine?
Jodi
Made this for school and nothing was left. Very good and lots asked for recipe.
Sarah
I'm so glad to hear that!
Allie
If you cut the recipe in half, is it the same amount of time?
Sarah
I'm not sure! You could probably do it for less time, but I'd check it often and just turn off the slow cooker when everything is cooked through!
Avalon
This turned out well and is relatively inexpensive! I was looking for a simple, economical, yummy breakfast burrito recipe in a crockpot so I could bring it for volunteers at an event -- something to keep in the volunteer room for the morning. I'll have other vegan and gluten-free options at the event too -- but I wanted something hearty & warm for those without food restrictions. One practice run at home, and the family gave it a thumbs up. I used 1.5# of sausage rather than the 2#, and that was fine. I'll be doubling the recipe for the event and providing regular & GF tortillas.
My crockpot is very hot on LOW, so it was done by about 4 hrs (cooked from about 10 pm to 2 am), so I switched it to warm until breakfast time and it was well-received.
Lynnette Beste
This is now my favorite go-to breakfast recipe when I have guests overnight. It's very quick to put together, everyone loves it, and if there are leftovers, I can freeze the burritos to have later when it's just my husband and myself again. Double winner!
Sarah
I'm so glad to hear that. We love it for feeding a crowd!
Rita
If frozen, how would you reheat?
Sarah
I thaw them in the fridge overnight, and pop them in the microwave for a few minutes until they are hot all the way through! You can also thaw them in the microwave while you heat. Either way they are delicious!
Rain
Can you double the recipe? Thanks cant wait to try them
Sarah
Yes, I think you can double this! I've never tried it all in one slow cooker. It might get really full, but it should work.
Katie
Looks great! CAN you freeze the burritos?
Sarah
Yeah, you totally can! Just let them fully cool, then wrap them up tight with a couple layers of cling wrap. They should stay good in the freezer for a month or two!
Emily
AbouT how many servings does this make? So excited to try!
