Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with black beans or crumbled tofu.
  • Customize your burritos with your favorite vegetables like mushrooms or spinach.
  • Add a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture for a little kick.
  • Ensure burritos are completely cooled before wrapping and freezing to prevent condensation.
