A couple weeks ago I had the great idea to make two low carb dishes that I spooned into containers and froze for quick lunches. Last week I was so happy that I haddelicious lunches that were already portioned out for me and only took a few minutes in the microwave to heat up. That got me to thinking how I should do this for breakfast too.
That’s when I came up with this low carb breakfast burrito recipe. I used my egg wrap idea from a turkey wrap recipe and it was perfect. This burrito is alike an inside out omelet. It only takes minutes to make and it’s freezable. The perfect breakfast for me!
Using Eggs For Low Carb Wraps Or Noodles
Eggs are so great from making low carb wraps or tortillas. I have also used them as noodles. Below are three of my favorite keto recipes that use the egg wraps I am using in today’s recipe.
Keto Breakfast Burrito Ingredients
This is a really simple recipe. For the filling of this breakfast burrito I used red onion, peppers, spinach and breakfast sausage. I could eat the filling as is it’s so yummy to me. And then the wrap is just an egg. So this recipe only needs 5 simple ingredients!
Now Let’s Make Our Low Carb Breakfast Burrito Recipe!
First thing you want to do is make the filling. In a large skillet add a little oil and the onions and saute for 1 minute. Then add the peppers and sausage. Once the sausage is completely cooked and browned take it off the burner and add the spinach. Just mix it a bit and it will start to wilt. You don’t want it to wilt too much as it will have more volume if it’s just slightly wilted.
Now it’s time to make the egg wraps. You need to have two skillets, one small skillet and one larger one. Spray the pans with cooking oil and then heat them to a medium heat.
Then beat an egg and pour into the smaller skillet. Swirl the egg around the pan to cover the whole bottom. Once it’s almost cooked loosen the edges with a spatula and flip into the larger pan. Sprinkle some cheese on top and in a few minutes it will melt and your wrap is done!
Take the wrap out of the pan and place on a plate. Add your sausage mixture, fold and place in the freezer for 2 hours. I do this so that they are easier to wrapin wax paper or parchment paper and then store in the freezer. Below you can see how I wrap them in wax paper.
Freezing The Breakfast Burrito And Heating Them Up
To freeze the burritos, once you’ve wrapped them, place in a freezer bag and set in your freezer. To heat one up just unwrap and microwave for 1 – 2 minutes. Make sure to let them cool before eating.
They are so tasty I also like them for a keto snack or low carb lunch. So if you are into having meals in your freezer to grab and go this a recipe to add to your list. It’s tasty, easy, fast and low carb. Even if you aren’t a low carb eater it’s really delicious. Enjoy!

Thank you and I hope you like them. I’ve used eggs like this for other things. You can make a few “crepes” and cut them into noodles. Or use them in enchiladas or make savory crepes filled with chicken, etc. Good luck!

Love your idea! I’m doing good carbs and the egg instead of the tortilla works for me. I had pulled pork leftover from dinner and this was a great way to use it. Ignore the negative comments, they have no life.

So glad you liked it Suzy!Thanks for taking the time to share your tips!

Great idea for a healthy brekkie. I used minced beef (dont know what breakfast sausage is here in australia), i added some dry taco seasoning mix and garlic to it for flavour. I had to use 2 eggs, but thats because i made big ones for my hubby. Very tasty, will def make them again. I omiited freezing for 2 hours first. Just wrapped them in wax paper and put straight into a ziplock bag. Let them cool down a bit, then straight into the freezer.

Hi Kathy,
Glad you liked them! Thanks for your tips too. I haven’t made these in a long time and I’ll have to update them a bit. Have a good week!Reply
Jen
This might be a silly question, but when reheating in the microwave.. do you remove the parchment paper? I’m a newbie to food prep lol thanks!!
Reply
Denise
Hi Jen, that’s not a silly question. You can do either. If you want to keep it in the wrapper to eat you can use it. If you don’t eat the wrapper and take it off. It won’t hurt the burrito either way and for the short amount of time in the microwave the parchment paper will be fine. Hope that helps!

How long can you store these in the freezer?

Hi Torie,
Mine never last that long to be honest but I found this information that says 2-3 months. Hope that helps! https://www.foodsafety.gov/keep/charts/eggstorage.htmlReply

Sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
When you say breakfast sausage are you referring to one like Owens ?Reply
Denise
Hi Sheila, I’m not sure what Owens is but I meant the breakfast sausage that comes in a roll. I use Aldi’s brand but it is similar to Bob Evan’s or Jimmy Dean’s and it is in a plastic tube or roll. I didn’t use links or patties but the patties might work too. You just don’t want the casings. Hope that helps!

This is an omelette, call it a burrito but it’s an omelette.

I really don’t know why you have to be so mean. And if you want to get technical, that is not an omelette. A omelette is folded in half not in thirds as you see in the picture. The person who was nice enough to share their “version” of a healthy option for a breakfast burrito.. kudo’s to them for such a brilliant idea. If you can’t say anything nice why say anything at all? Your comment just isn’t warranted here.
