Easy Camping Breakfast Burritos
Whether camping in the great outdoors or in makeshift tents in the living room, a family campout is just plain FUN!! A campout isn’t complete without tasty camp food. Breakfast is my favorite meal while camping. These easy campfire burritos are made ahead at home, then finished off at the campsite, on the grill, or in your oven.
Campfire cooking needs to be easy and as mess free as possible. In the great outdoors, you don’t want unwanted visitors (think ants and raccoons) to your camp site because you left food out. So simple is key. These burritos are cooked up at home, wrapped in foil, and stored until you’re ready to heat and serve.
My family loves chorizo, a spicy Mexican sausage. These burritos combine chorizo, potato, egg, and cheese. If you don’t want spicy burritos, you can substitute breakfast sausage. No matter what combination you use, here are a few tips to help you create amazingly delicious breakfast burritos.
- Don’t add salsa until just before serving. Otherwise, your burrito will be a soggy mess.
- Place the potatoes/hash browns in the center of the burritos. It helps to soak in any liquid from the sausage and keep it away from the tortilla.
- If you aren’t going to eat your breakfast burritos within 24 hours, store them wrapped in a ziploc bag and freeze.
