Stocking up the freezer with healthy breakfast options is such a great idea for busy mornings. We love prepping healthy freezer breakfast sandwiches, and these ultimate breakfast burritos. Kale, mushroom and feta breakfast burritos are another delicious option!
The thing I love about these burritos is that you get a great source of protein, plenty of vegetables, and carbohydrates. It's truly a well-rounded meal to start your day. They also freeze/thaw really well, and are particularly good crisped up on a sandwich press.

Ingredient notes
- eggs- adds protein and binds the other ingredients together; use large eggs
- kale- you can use fresh or frozen, if you use frozen, you can add it straight to the pan without thawing, but may need to increase the cook time slightly.
- feta cheese- adds briney/salty flavor to the burritos; if you choose to leave it out, you will want to add some salt to compensate
- mushrooms- add umami and more vegetables; you can use button, cremini, or chopped portobellos
- tortillas- look for large tortillas; 10 inch minimum.
Step by step directions
1. Sauté onions and mushrooms- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 or so minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms to the pan, and cook for 3 more minutes, until soft and cooked through.
2. Sauté kale- Add the kale and cook for 2 more minutes, until soft and the kale is wilted. If kale is frozen, add it straight to the pan without thawing, increasing the cook time if needed.
3. Add eggs- While the veggies are cooking, beat the eggs with the salt, pepper, and oregano. Add the eggs to the pan and cook for 3-4 more minutes, until the eggs are cooked through.
4. Add feta- Sprinkle the feta cheese evenly over everything, then remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool before rolling.
5- Roll- Scoop ¾ cup of the *cooled* egg/veggie filling onto a 12-inch flour tortilla. Sprinkle with ¼ cup of shredded cheese. Fold the ends over and roll tightly.
6. Store- Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and store in a larger meal prep container or freezer bag.
Storage & Reheating
These breakfast burritos store great for meal prep!
Storage
- fridge- store individually wrapped burritos in an air tight container for up to 48 hours; the tortillas can get soft and are best frozen for longer than that
- freezer- store individually wrapped burritos in an air tight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months
Reheating
- thaw- overnight in the fridge, or on low power in the microwave (unwrap from plastic and place on a paper towel)
- heat- in the microwave until steaming hot (optional, but helps heat the filling all the way to the middle as sometimes the frying pan can do a poor job at this)
- crisp- after heating through, crisp up the tortilla in a frying pan or a sandwich press
TIP- I love using my old school George Foreman grill to crisp up my breakfast burritos!
Recipe variations
- kale- swap for spinach or your favorite greens
- other veggies- swap onions & mushrooms for sautéed bell peppers, cauliflower rice, roasted sweet potatoes or what you happen to have in the fridge.
- eggs- you can make this vegetarian by swapping the eggs for tofu (follow directions for this tofu scramble)
- feta- omit, but add at least ¼ teaspoon salt
- other- you could turn these into breakfast quesadillas, or leave out the tortilla and enjoy as a breakfast scramble.
