Camping Breakfast Burrito Recipe (2024)

FAQs

How do you heat breakfast burritos while camping? ›

Make these tasty burritos at home, wrap them in foil, and pop them in a freezer. When you're on your way out to say, explore your national parks, simply reheat them in a microwave. If you're taking them camping, you can set them over your campfire to heat them up.

Begin by cooking bacon or sausages (or both!). Then scramble or fry some eggs. Using breakfast muffins, crisp them in your pan, stove or grill and use your fillings to create the perfect camping breakfast sandwich. Tip: if you're a vegetarian, you could also use avocado, cheese, tomatoes and peppers.

7When the eggs are fully cooked, add the rest of the cheese and stir once more. Warm the tortillas and add some of the egg mixture (about 3/4 cup). Wrap them up and, if they need to be kept warm for a bit, wrap them individually in sheets of foil and hold them in a slow cooker on warm for up to 3 hours.

To Reheat Breakfast Burritos

Transfer the breakfast burrito to the refrigerator the day before to thaw. Once thawed, microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or heat in a skillet over medium-low, about 5 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crispy and the insides are warm.

How long can burritos sit at room temperature? Per the USDA guidelines, bacteria loves to grow and thrive on food that's been sitting out at room temperature for two hours or more. If temperatures increase to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, a burrito can only be left out for a maximum of one hour.

The best side dishes to serve with breakfast burritos are corn salsa, pico de gallo, refried beans, guacamole, chili con carne nachos, McDonald's breakfast sauce, birria quesadillas, tostilocos, avocado salad, churros, breakfast potatoes, grilled corn, fruit salad, salsa verde, and fried plantains.

Wrap and freeze: Wrap the burrito tightly in the aluminum foil and repeat with filling and folding the remaining burritos. Freeze the burritos in a single layer on a baking sheet — they'll freeze faster and more uniformly this way. Store frozen burritos in a gallon-sized zip-top freezer bag for longer-term freezing.

How do you reheat a burrito so it's not soggy? ›

Remove any foil the burrito is wrapped in. Foil in the microwave can cause a fire! Lay a damp paper towel over the burrito. The damp paper towel will help your burrito heat up evenly and prevent it from getting soggy.

A breakfast burrito should not be left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours. After that time, harmful bacteria can begin to multiply, increasing the risk of foodborne illness. If the temperature is above 90°F (32°C), it's safer to consume it within 1 hour.

First, you can place aluminum foil directly in the fire or on top of a firepit. Then, you simply wrap your food in aluminum and toss it right on top of the fire. Foods that are great for reheating with aluminum foil are peppers, corn, beef, pork, potatoes, and chicken.

Set it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and let it get good and hot. Remove any wrappers from your burrito, then roll it up in aluminum foil. This is not optional, as it is the secret key to achieving reheated burrito perfection. The foil acts as a barrier that locks in moisture, keeping your burrito soft and scrumptious.

STEP ONE: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F. STEP TWO: Place your burrito in the air fryer basket and reheat for 2-3 minutes. You may need to reheat thicker burritos for 1-2 minutes more.

Stick them in the freezer until time to pack them in the camper. When ready to eat them, they can be warmed in the camper oven or on the bbq, still wrapped in the foil.
