Notes

How to Cook Bacon in the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the bacon in a single layer. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until crispy to your liking. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then chop or crumble before adding to the recipe.

Prep Ahead Notes

These bacon breakfast burritos are perfect for meal prep and can be made ahead for the week or stored in the freezer for later.

For the week:
Let the burritos cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

For the freezer:
Wrap each burrito tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.

To reheat (microwave):
Remove foil, wrap in a paper towel, and heat for 2–4 minutes, or until heated through. For best results, place a cup of water in the microwave to keep the tortilla soft.

To reheat (oven):
Wrap in foil and heat in a 400°F oven for 30–40 minutes from frozen, or 10–15 minutes if thawed.

Tip:
If you plan to reheat in the oven, wrap the burritos in foil before freezing so they can go straight into the oven.
