Yep. I make a big batch, wrap them in parchment paper, wrap again in foil or plastic wrap, put them in a freezer safe bag, and freeze.
When ready to eat, I remove the foil or wrap, leave the parchment paper, and wrap in a damp paper towel. Set microwave on 30% power for 1:30, then full power for another 1:15. Time will vary depending on the size of your burrito and wattage.
I use a whole wheat soft taco size tortilla and (gasp!) veggie sausage. You can add in onions, peppers, frozen hash browns, cheese...I even tried vegan cheese once, but decided I'm not that dedicated.
Bottle of hot sauce on my desk completes the meal.

Where do you get your tortillas from?

Kroger and Publix.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I took yall's ideas and made 16 burritos tonight. I used 12 eggs, 1 bellpepper, 1/2 onion, 1/2 cheese, 2 cans black beans, 12 strips of turkey bacon, and tomatilla sauce for topping.
Sauted some bell pepper and onion. Scrambled the egg and tossed in the cheese, scrambled some more.
In stead of ground beef or chorizo I decided to go with turkey bacon. Baked it in the over for about 15-20 minutes to get it crispy.
Once the eggs were cooked I mixed the bacon in with it.
The ingredients yielded 16 small burritos. They were smaller than I expected, but that's fine a big breakfast isn't what I typically go for anyway. Each one probably cost around $1 or less.

Will you be freezing and then heating in the oven?
Posted on 1/20/16 at 7:06 am to J Murdah
You going to share some of those baw?
Posted on 1/20/16 at 7:51 am to burgeman
Sure, come on by.
@Darla, I think I will freeze about 10 of them and refrigerate the rest. They aren't super thick so it shouldn't take too long to defrost. I might just take one out the night before a and put it in the fridge.

Sounds yummy.
How are you going to reheat them? I don't know how microwave would be (possibly mushy and weird).. but a good alternative to waiting on the oven might be a press on the George Foreman. It'll take only a few minutes and crisp your tortilla up too.
Definitely try the chorizo one day. It is so spicy and flavorful that you don't have to season the filling as much. Also, 4miles made breakfast one day with these little guys:
If you're looking for something quick to toss into your egg scramble, these are great. They also come in turkey if that's your thing. I'm not too much of a turkey-bacon or turkey-sausage fan.

Dampened a paper towel and put in the microwave for a minute and a half. Wasnt soggy, hot and soft like a burrito should be.
I'll try those crumbles, normally I stay away from the processed food isle though.

Ah. I've never used them myself either. Just liked them when they were made for me. You must be one of those who actually likes the taste of turkey bacon ;) I also don't like soft steamed burritos. I always need that brown pressed crispy texture. So I think we just have different tastes here.

I use:
Low carb tortilla (from target)
6-Turkey sausage patties (Sam's club)
6- Eggs(super market)
I keep them in the freezer and they taste fine.

What is the advantage of turkey bacon, out of curiosity?
NVM. Just Googled.

When it comes to turkey bacon vs. pork bacon, we can compare nutrition facts. When comparing products from the same company, a serving of pork center-cut bacon has 60 calories, 35 calories from fat, 210 mg of sodium, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 3.5 grams of total fat, 15 mg of cholesterol and 6 grams of protein.
Turkey bacon from the same company has 35 calories, 25 calories from fat, 180 mg of sodium, 1 gram of saturated fat, 3 grams of total fat, 15 mg cholesterol, but only 2 grams of protein.
It's important to note that turkeys don’t have a belly to slice bacon from (well, turkeys do have a belly, but you aren’t going to get very big slices). Meat processors make turkey bacon from ground up turkey and flavor it to taste like bacon. Ground up dark meat is layered on ground up light meat, and the product is kind of like turkey sausage. These layers of different shades of meat, using ground turkey, allow the processors to add in as little or as much fat as they like. In pork bacon, the amount of fat is dictated by how fat the pig belly was.
The difference between servings of pork bacon and turkey bacon is only about 25 calories. Turkey bacon is leaner, but it has less protein.

Hmm so not much difference. Oh well, I saw it next to the bacon a few weeks ago and it is a few dollars cheaper than regular bacon so I got that instead. I like the taste, but apparently thats just me

I always make them fresh. If I'm in a rush I just do refried beans, scrambled eggs, cheese and salsa. I keep a jar of bacon fat and can scramble a couple eggs in just a few minutes. At the same time I spread some canned refried beans onto my tortillas, top with cheese, heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Then i throw the scrambled eggs and salsa on top and am on my way.

I should also mention I dice the turkey sausage up somewhat. It's not an outstandingly delicious breakfast but it is frugal and quick. It holds me over till lunch anyways.
