These foil-wrapped breakfast burritos are perfect for outdoor mornings, combining fluffy eggs, savory sausage, melted cheese, and warm tortillas for a quick, satisfying meal cooked right on the campfire or grill.

Ingredients

  • Large eggs, beaten (room temperature)
  • Breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Flour tortillas, large size (10-inch)
  • Bell peppers, diced
  • Onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Butter or oil, for sautéing
  • Salsa, optional, for serving
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped, optional

Instructions

  1. Pre-cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage, and cook until browned and crumbly, about 7-8 minutes. Use a spatula to break it into bite-sized pieces. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Sauté the veggies: In the same pan, add a little butter or oil, then toss in the diced bell peppers and onions. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Scramble the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the pan with the veggies, stirring constantly until soft curds form and eggs are just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the burritos: Lay a large tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon equal portions of the egg mixture and sausage down the center. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Add chopped cilantro if using.
  5. Wrap the burritos: Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll tightly from one end to the other, making sure the filling stays inside. Wrap each burrito securely in two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  6. Cook on the campfire: Place the foil-wrapped burritos on hot coals or grill grates. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Use tongs to turn carefully. The burrito should feel firm and heated through when done.
  7. Serve: Let the packets cool for a minute or two, then unwrap carefully (steam will be hot). Serve with salsa or your favorite hot sauce.

Notes

Do not overfill tortillas to ensure even cooking and easy wrapping. Double wrap with foil to prevent leaks. Pull eggs off heat just before fully set for creamy texture. Pre-cook meat and veggies at home to save campfire time. Use tongs or gloves to handle hot foil packets safely. Burritos can be baked in oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or cooked on stovetop grill pan wrapped in foil.
