Variations & swaps
Recipe Variations
- You can substitute sausage patties, bacon, chorizo, pinto beans, or black beans for breakfast sausage.
- Anything goes in these burritos. Instead of the cubed potatoes, you can use tater tots, shredded potatoes, and french fries!
- Sometimes, we add diced green chiles to the burritos for an extra flavor kick.
- You can also add salsa and sour cream to the burritos. Or substitute pepper jack cheese for the Mexican cheese.
- Ages 2-3: Provide a safe serving spoon and let them sprinkle their favorite ingredients onto the tortillas. Create an assembly line to fill the delicious breakfast burritos.
- Ages 4-5: Once the burritos are filled and folded, involve your child in wrapping the burritos in foil for freezing. It’s like playing with shiny paper, with the bonus of preserving breakfast goodness.
- Ages 6-8: Introduce kitchen safety basics like heat control and utensil handling. Let your child help with tasks like stirring ingredients or measuring spices.
- Ages 9-11: Supervise from the sidelines as your child tackles the recipe independently. Let them practice reading instructions, measuring ingredients, and following cooking steps. Remember, gentle guidance is key!
- Ages 12+: Step back and let your culinary prodigy shine! They’ve got this! Just be ready to do the “happy dance” (or maybe even a celebratory jig) when they present their delicious creation.
- Cooking together is a beautiful way to bond, create memories, and instill valuable life skills in your children. Our top advice is to have fun, experiment, and enjoy the satisfaction of making and eating homemade breakfast burritos.
- Serve: Enjoy your burritos warm and melty right out of the pan! There is no need to reheat them if you’re serving them within 2 hours.
- Store: Wrapped tightly, these burritos stay fresh in the fridge for 3-4 days. Perfect for grabbing on the go throughout the week!
