Ingredient Substitutions & Variations
- Swap the turkey sausage for pork sausage, chicken sausage, or even diced ham.

- Use low carb tortillas to lower the carbs and increase fiber.

How to Make Macho Breakfast Burritos
- Follow the instructions on the back of the dehydrated hash browns to rehydrate them using hot water.
- Slice the bacon into small 1/4-inch pieces. Cook in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove and strain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, cook the turkey sausage until no longer pink. Drain grease and stir the bacon back into the pan.
- Add the hash browns and cook for 3–5 minutes to crisp them up slightly.
- In a bowl, whisk together the liquid egg whites and cottage cheese until well combined. Pour into the skillet with the meat mixture.
- Cook until the eggs are mostly set. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If meal prepping for later, allow the mixture to cool completely before assembling the burritos.
- Lay the tortillas flat and sprinkle 28 grams of cheese onto each tortilla.
- Divide the breakfast mixture evenly between the tortillas.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos.
- Wrap individually or place into meal prep bags for storage.
Recipe Tip
Crisping the hash browns before adding the eggs gives the filling much better texture.
Meal Prep & Storage Tips
These burritos are AMAZING for freezer meal prep.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freeze individually wrapped burritos for up to 3 months.
- Let the filling cool before assembling to help prevent soggy tortillas.
- Wrapping each burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap helps them reheat better later.
How to Reheat
For the best texture:
- Microwave for 2 minutes.
- Air fry at 325 degrees for 4 minutes.
This gives you a crispy tortilla on the outside while keeping the inside hot and cheesy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these breakfast burritos?
Yes! These freeze extremely well and are one of my favorite high-protein freezer breakfasts. Make sure to let them cool completely before wrapping and packing up for storage.
Do the cottage cheese curds melt?
Once cooked into the eggs, the cottage cheese melts down some and blends right into the filling.
Can I make these lower calorie?
You can reduce the calories by using turkey bacon, reduced fat cheese, or smaller or lower carb tortillas.
What tortillas work best?
Large burrito-sized flour tortillas work best for rolling and holding all the filling. These are big ones so you need large tortillas. The uncooked tortillas I use in my other burrito recipes will be too small for these.
