How to Make McDonalds Breakfast Burrito

With little equipment, just a couple of pans, and a small bowl, you can make these satisfying McDonald's breakfast burritos and have little to no mess! 

And the cooking process for everything is super simple.

So, without further ado, let's make this McDonalds burritos copycat recipe. 

 Step 1: Prepare the Sausage 

First, crumble and fry the pork sausage in a pan over medium heat. The smaller you chop up the pork, the faster it will cook. 

Once the sausage is fully cooked, remove it from the pan and drain the excess grease. Then put the sausage aside in a small bowl. 

Step 2: Cook the Veggies 

For the veggies, add a little bit of olive oil to the pan, and then add the onion, green chillies, and tomatoes. 

Cook until the veggies are soft, for about 5 minutes or so, then throw the sausage back in the pan. 

Step 3: Cook the Eggs 

Next, crack the eggs in a small bowl and beat the whites with the yolks. 

Then, add the beaten eggs to the pan with the sausage and veggies. And to enhance the flavors, add salt and pepper to cook.

Now, cook everything, frequently stirring, until the egg has cooked. 

Step 4: Assemble Your Burritos 

Now that you have all of the fillings ready to go, it's time to assemble your burritos. 

To assemble, place a tortilla in a heated skillet and top with the salsa and cheese. Let the pan heat until the cheese starts to melt. Then, carefully take the tortilla out of the pan and stuff it with the filling. 

The very last step may be the trickiest, and that is actually rolling up the burrito. To successfully roll your burrito, start by arranging your fillings in a line down the center of the tortilla. 

Then, fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling. Finally, roll the bottom of the tortilla over the top of the fillings - tucking as you roll.

You can also wrap the tortillas with paper to make them less messy to grab. 

Well, there you have it!

A couple of satisfying burritos you get to eat fresh and in the comfort of your own home! 

How to Store & Reheat Breakfast Burritos

Like the McDonalds breakfast burrito, these are super easy to make and store ahead of time, and they keep really well in the fridge. I recommend wrapping them in parchment paper and aluminum foil to guarantee your burritos stay nicely wrapped. 

Then, transfer the McDonald's breakfast burritos to an airtight container, and they'll keep for 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 2 months in the freezer. 

To reheat the burritos you can place them in the microwave for about 1 minute for refrigerated burritos, or 3 minutes for frozen burritos. 

Also, when microwaving a frozen burrito, wrap it in a damp paper towel (so the tortilla does not dry out) and stop halfway through to turn the burrito over. 

Alternatively, you can also prepare just the fillings and keep them in the fridge or freezer for the same time as your burritos. To microwave the fillings, you can use the times above. Once your filling is warm, just follow the instructions for assembling the tortillas.
