I’ve got to tell you guys, I’m so excited that the holiday season is here. My sister and her family will be spending a whole week with us and I’m ready to soak up every second of playing with the kids, and gossiping in the kitchen with my mom and sister. Having a house full of people for a whole week means lots of mouths to feed and my mom and I have already started exchanging recipe ideas and planning out our holiday menu. 

This year I’m in charge of breakfast which is more like brunch in my family. We all stay up late after the kids go to bed, wrapping presents and talking. That means mornings are kind of slow with everyone waking up at their own time and wandering downstairs to see what there is to eat. This easy Breakfast Burrito Casserole is the perfect solution. It’s packed full of sausage, eggs, cheese, peppers, and onions, all sandwiched between Mission® Super Soft Flour Tortillas. It is just as delicious served piping hot, straight out of the oven, or at room temperature, for those late-sleepers. ingredients for Breakfast Burrito Casserole

If there is one thing everyone in my family agrees on, it is southwest flavors. We love them, and having your breakfast wrapped up in a soft tortilla is the best of both worlds. Since breakfast casseroles are the easiest way to feed a crowd I’ve taken everything I love about a breakfast burrito and made it into an easy breakfast casserole.

Of course, the most important part of a burrito is the tortillas and I used Mission® Super Soft Flour Tortillas for my tortilla layers. Mission® Super Soft Flour Tortillas are hands down my favorite tortilla. We use them all the time for easy weeknight dinners. I love that soft texture, and when you warm them up to bring out their flavor, they make the best wrap for a burrito, or an enchilada! They also happen to be the perfect size for an 11″ x 7″ inch casserole dish. It just takes two tortillas for each layer. For the filling I included breakfast sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, eggs, and a mix of bell peppers and onions. Feel free to get creative and add your favorite breakfast items!

What You’ll Need to Make a Breakfast Burrito Casserole:

  • Mission® Super Soft Flour Tortillas – These delicious flour tortillas are my personal favorite and you can find them in the bread or tortilla aisle at your local grocery store. They are available nationwide. Use the store locator here to find the store closest to you. 
  • Sausage – Ground breakfast sausage. You can go with regular, or spicy if want to kick your Breakfast Burrito Casserole up a notch.
  • Eggs – It wouldn’t be breakfast without eggs! I add a little milk to mine to make them extra light and fluffy.
  • Cheese – This recipe has two types of cheese: shredded cheddar for in between the layers and on top, and cream cheese that is cooked with the sausage.
  • Peppers and Onions – Red and green bell peppers cooked with onions add the perfect southwest flavor to this Breakfast Burrito Casserole. If you like things a little spicier, you can also add some jalapeños!
  • 11″ x 8″ casserole dish – You’ll want this casserole dish to be at least 2.5 inches deep so you can stack up the layers!

Mission® Super Soft Flour Tortillas aren’t just for breakfast burritos. Make sure you pick up an extra package and make yourself a big batch of enchiladas or get creative with those holiday leftovers. You can find more awesome recipe ideas here .

How to Make a Breakfast Burrito Casserole:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat and add diced onions and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes until softened and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet with a little more cooking spray, add eggs and scramble until they are fully cooked but still slightly runny. Set eggs aside.
  5. Wipe skillet clean and add the pork sausage, cooking over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Drain grease and add the sausage back to the pan along with the cream cheese. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is completely melted. Set aside.
  6. In a greased 11×8 inch casserole dish place two Mission® Super Soft Flour Tortillas in the bottom of the dish and top with half of the sausage mixture, followed by half of the eggs, half of the onions and peppers, and ⅓ of the shredded cheese.
  7. Place two more tortillas in the dish and repeat the sausage, eggs, onions and peppers, and cheese.
  8. Top with the remaining 2 flour tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is warmed through.
