These breakfast burritos are truly amazing. Rich and fluffy scrambled eggs, garlic-roasted vegetables, flavorful cheese, and refried beans all encased in a scrumptious burrito!
My Life Before This.
I’ve created numerous breakfast burritos over time, but nothing compares to these. The silky scrambled eggs, the garlic-roasted vegetables, the deep flavor of the cheese, and the kick from the creamy sauce are just fantastic.
Here’s what’s in them:
- Sheet pan potatoes and peppers
- Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base for extra taste
- Creamy eggs
- Refried black beans
- Smoked gouda cheese (!!)
- Chipotle crema sauce for dipping
I have a unique take on sheet pan breakfast burritos (yes, it’s a niche topic): many recipes will instruct you to slice the cooked eggs and veggies into rectangles. If you enjoy doing this, please continue. However, I’ve found the appearance of the eggs to be unappealing. The tortilla won’t conform around them properly – it feels more like a flat sandwich than a compact, nicely rolled breakfast burrito.
Instead, here’s my method. I bake the eggs until they’re slightly set, then stir them briefly, and place them back in the oven to finish cooking. The result is scrambled eggs, but made on a sheet pan. They fit perfectly inside a breakfast burrito, while maintaining the convenience of the sheet pan method.
In summary: the taste of these is likely the best I’ve experienced in a homemade breakfast burrito. If you wish, add meat, but with the Gouda’s smokiness and the earthy flavors of the roasted garlic veggies, plus the chipotle sauce if you’re able to… I’ve never found myself missing the meat at all.
Enjoy these!
Roast Your Vegetables.
Combine vegetables with a scoop of Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base for a tremendous flavor enhancement. I love to really roast them until they’re slightly crisp around the edges.
Add the Egg Mixture.
Just pour it right over and bake.
Stir Halfway Through.
Quickly shift them around the pan (scrambled eggs style)! They might not look perfect now, and that’s fine!
Finish the Eggs in the Oven.
They look like this once finished!
Roll Them Into Burritos.
The typical burrito fillers for me are refried black beans and smoked Gouda cheese.
Freeze or Consume!
I wrap them in foil and store them in the freezer! THE BEST FEELING. Instructions for reheating are listed in the notes below!

For The Burritos:
Instructions
- Veggies: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Arrange potatoes, peppers, and onions on a half sheet pan. Toss with olive oil, salt, and Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base.
- Roast: Roast vegetables for 20 minutes; then stir, and roast for another 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender and peppers and onions are slightly browned.
- Eggs: Change the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Whisk the egg mixture; pour directly onto the sheet pan with the veggies. Bake for 7 minutes.
- Bake: Gently move the eggs around the pan until they are “scrambled” a bit (they should still be a little wet). Return them to the oven for 3-6 minutes until they are set.
- Burritos: Fill tortillas with the egg mixture, refried beans, smoked gouda cheese, and cilantro. Wrap them tightly in the tortilla, and roll it up in foil.
- Store: You may freeze them for up to 3 months, or refrigerate them for 3-4 days. Check notes for reheating methods! Serve with salsa and/or chipotle sauce.
Options for Reheating:
- Microwave: Unwrap burrito (frozen or thawed) and place on a microwave-safe plate. Heat in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Flip it halfway through for even heating.
- Oven: Bake the foil-wrapped burrito at 425 for 30 minutes (25-30 minutes for thawed, 35-40 if still frozen). You can put it directly on an oven rack while it’s wrapped in foil. I do this while I’m getting ready, and it’s nice and steamy when I’m ready to eat!
- Air Fryer or Skillet (for crispiness): Spray the exterior of the burrito with oil and air fry at 350 for 4 minutes. For a skillet, pan fry in a skillet with some butter over medium heat for 2 minutes per side until golden. This can be done with either a warmed OR frozen burrito – either method will create a crispy exterior. If starting with a frozen burrito, you might need an additional 1-2 minutes in the microwave to ensure it’s heated through after crisping.
Notes
Hashbrowns: Frozen hashbrowns (around 2 cups) can replace the potatoes! They work great! Roasting may take an additional 10-15 minutes due to their moisture content.
Delicious Chipotle Sauce: Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 grated garlic clove, and 3 tablespoons water. This sauce is incredibly tasty and will last in the fridge for 5-7 days.
