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.

buritos wrapped in foil on grill

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.

  1.  Don’t add salsa until just before serving. Otherwise, your burrito will be a soggy mess.
  2. 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.
  3. If you aren’t going to eat your breakfast  burritos within 24 hours, store them wrapped in a ziploc bag and freeze.

    Great tips and I would even use this when traveling and staying a hotels with a kitchenette. Would be a great money saver for our family of 6.

      They freeze really well, so you won’t need too many ice packs when traveling.

    I haven’t been camping since I lived up North, however we have been thinking of taking a camping trip this spring and your Easy Camping Breakfast Burritos would sure be a vast improvement over some of the traditional camping breakfasts.

    Yummy, these look delicious! I usually prepare all the ingredients for camping breakfast burritos ahead of time, but I’ve never put them together ahead of time. Pre-wrapping in tin foil is a great idea… so easy!

      They keep really well wrapped. The trick is the potatoes in the middle of the burrito of the outside doesn’t get soggy.

    Yum! It took me a minute to figure out what that bright red meat was! 🙂 We would probably go with regular breakfast sausage, but I love the idea for an easy camp out breakfast!

      We like the chorizo because it generally doesn’t need any salsa. It’s spicy enough as it is.

      It’s funny how a little thing like where the potatoes are makes all the difference. I’m sure that once the weather finally warms up and stays warm, I’ll be able to get out more and do more camp cooking like this.

    This is a great idea for breakfast any time. I can just imagine how a smoky fire would enhance these foil wrapped burritos. What a great camping idea!

    Hi Nicky! These breakfast burritos are a great idea. I like how you made them up ahead of time. I like to cook, but when I go camping I really like to be on vacation like the rest of the family. It’s nice to have these easy to prepare meals. Do your little ones eat chorizo? My daughter is starting to show a fondness for spicier foods, but my two middle boys don’t eat spice at all. It’s all so interesting to me how they are all so different.

      All of mine like chorizo, but for them, I go mild. They are eating spicier foods as they get older.

    These look delicious! I love provolone cheese, and never thought about putting it in a breakfast burrito. We often are out of town for business trips and these would be awesome to even heat up in a hotel microwave – minus the foil – hahahaha!!
