Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burritos
Here in Texas, we love our Mexican food. And by love, I mean, we could eat it for almost every meal. Breakfast is no exception. Filled with red bell peppers for another layer of flavor, these burritos are easy to grab on a busy morning. If you have the time to sit and eat at the table, you could top with hot sauce and sour cream to get the full burrito experience.

these sure look good, but not what I was expecting with the name huevos rancheros. I was expecting fried eggs on a fried corn tortilla with beans all covered in ranchero sauce. guess everyone has a different version. I’m gonna have to make some of these for the freezer, something you can’t do with my version….lol. They look much better than your normal breakfast burrito and I really like having stuff in the freezer to grab on those busy mornings when all I have time for is to grab and go.
Genius! I love breakfast burritos, but there is no way I would make them in the morning before work. I never even thought about pre making them to freeze– can’t wait to try it out!
Love your site! This recipe sounds so good. It has convinced me to get a tortilla maker. I’ve been toying with the idea but now it’s definite. I love the idea of my own healthy “fast food” breakfast with organic and low/no sodium. Thanks!
These sound great. My only problem is that we don’t have a microwave. Could these be re-heated in a skillet or the oven? My toaster oven broke or I would throw that in there too :) Any other ideas would be welcome as well. Thanks
Theresa, absolutely the oven or toaster oven would work. If you did a skillet, it would crisp up the outside more than warm the inside probably but it could work. Let me know what you try and how it works out!
Do you have to defrost before you reheat in the microwave or do you do this from frozen?
Elle, I have been reheating mine in the microwave from frozen for about 1.5 minutes. It will obviously vary from microwave to microwave.
