why doesn't chipotle serve breakfast??
This is a question I ponder every time I'm on a road trip. I mean, think about just how yummy and successful that would be! Everything Chipotle plus eggs and bacon.
But, that's ok because instead, I developed these high-protein chipotle breakfast burritos. It was inspired by my chipotle ranch grilled chicken burrito and really just my love of chipotle in general.
Breakfast burritos can sometimes take a lot of work because they involve so many components. And I do LOVE a stuffed breakfast burrito (a California breakfast burrito is my love language), I don't like to make them at home.
So, I came up with this combination of guacamole, salsa, bacon, eggs, and cheese. Exactly everything you need to create maximum flavor plus cottage cheese for added protein.
The other great thing is that these burritos freeze awesome! Make a double batch and freeze them for up to 3 months!
Anywho, let's get cooking so you can get back to adventuring!
how to meal prep chipotle breakfast burritos
1. make the eggs & bacon
Cook the bacon in the oven or air fryer. Mix the eggs with the cottage cheese and salsa. Scramble the eggs low and slow.
2. assemble
Place a burrito-size tortilla on a square piece of foil. Spread the guac on the bottom, pour on a bit of chipotle sauce or chipotle hollandaise sauce, top with eggs, black beans, and finally crumbeled bacon.
3. roll & wrap
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, tuck the long side over the toppings, and ROLL! Quickly wrap it in the foil as you roll to keep it in place. Freeze or enjoy.

how to store it & meal prep it
I recommend freezing these burritos rather than storing them in the fridge. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
tips for meal prepping
- Label your burritos with the date and what it is. I usually make some with cheese and some without so I will label them as such.
- Square foil pieces from Costco (or other stores probably)work great for meal prepping burritos because they are the perfect size for a burrito!
- Use low carb tortillas or wraps because they are super duper pliable! Perfect for rolling.
- To reheat, unwrap the burrito, place it on a plate, and heat in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, then flip it and heat another 1 minute 30 seconds.

- Roll up the burrito by folding over the short sides in and then the long side over top of the filling. Use the foil to keep it all together and to help finish rolling the burrito.Mark the foil with the date and name of the burrito and then store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat them, remove the foil and place it on a plate. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, then flip it over and heat it another 1 minute or until heated through.

common questions
I love any chipotle sauce on a breakfast burrito! Its also good with just hot sauce!
Yup, just leave out the cottage cheese and cheese. They are still super tasty just a bit less protein.
The best way to roll is to keep the filling in the center of the tortilla in a rectangle. Then fold in the short sides and carefully fold over the long side, tucking it under the filling. Use the foil to hold it all together and then just keep rolling! Also be sure to watch the video for a visual of this process.
These are terrific!
