What makes it gluten-free?

Gluten-free diets prohibit foods containing the protein found mainly in wheat, barley, rye and triticale containing gluten. A gluten-free diet is necessary for those diagnosed with celiac disease as well as other conditions involving ingestion of gluten, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity, wheat allergy or ataxia.

Maintaining a gluten-free diet may present challenges, but it’s possible to ensure you receive all of your necessary vitamins and nutrients. Be wary when reading food labels claiming “gluten-free”, as many processed products that bear this label actually contain it – for instance some soy sauces and salad dressings may contain malt vinegar or flour that contains gluten.

Fresh, unprocessed foods tend to be naturally gluten-free; however, certain proteins like beef or chicken may be flavored with soy sauce and flour that contain gluten. Furthermore, some condiments and beverages such as beer, ketchup and salad dressings often contain it.

Oats, which are typically gluten-free, may still contain trace amounts due to cross-contamination with wheat, barley or rye during harvesting, storage or processing – it’s therefore crucial that consumers seek certified gluten-free oat products.

Some vegetables such as beans, corn, peas and potatoes are naturally gluten-free; however, many packaged vegetable mixes and frozen vegetables contain gluten in the form of fillers or seasonings; therefore it’s essential to read ingredient lists on packaged veggies before purchasing them; if in doubt about a particular product it would be wise to consult a registered dietitian.

Ingredients

An outstanding breakfast burrito starts with quality ingredients. A gluten free tortilla (we recommend this brand) provides satisfying crunch while the eggs and vegetables provide protein to fuel you throughout your morning routine. Melted cheese adds extra flavor while salsa adds fresh fruit salsa for some added texture; alternatively you could swap in guacamole, pico de gallo or other fresh fruit salsa options as desired.

Begin by warming a tortilla in the microwave for several seconds to make it more flexible, and spread a thin layer of salsa if desired. Next, cover the surface with pepper jack or cheddar cheese which will serve as glue once other ingredients have been added.

Cook the chorizo sausage over medium heat in either a skillet or on a griddle until fully cooked, and remove from the pan to cool before set aside. While you do that, scramble up your eggs separately, and pour the cooked chorizo over them while scattering shredded cheese as desired – you could also try adding half slices of cooked bacon for extra flair!

Finally, spread the filling on the tortilla and roll it up tightly. For an easier freezer-friendly option, wrap tightly in foil before storing in either the refrigerator or freezer.

This recipe makes approximately one breakfast burrito, though you can easily increase or multiply it to meet more demands. Reheat them either in the microwave or oven before serving; for later consumption, reheat in a skillet on medium-low heat to give a crispy exterior and more toasty interior texture.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep time for this breakfast burrito recipe is relatively straightforward. The longest part is waiting for the potatoes to cook and crisp up while working on other components of this meal – such as eggs. Once these components are finished, switch gears and begin prepping ingredients for queso sauce as soon as the potatoes have finished their bake time.

This versatile meal can be tailored to suit any taste or preference. Simply swap out the ground pork sausage for any other kind of meat such as chicken, beef, or ham; leave out the egg altogether for vegan breakfast burrito; add diced red potatoes or even frozen hash browns as extra veggies to enhance this hearty breakfast burrito with more nutrition!

Assemble your gluten free breakfast burrito by placing a tortilla flat and adding approximately 1/3 to 1/2 cup of filling to its center. Roll the tortilla up tightly before wrapping in aluminum foil or plastic wrap – use a kitchen towel if you find extra moisture necessary; I find it easiest to roll my burritos diagonally so they are easier to unwrap and consume! Flash freeze on a sheet pan for faster freezing; once stored in freezer bags don’t forget to label and date!

Serve these savory breakfast burritos with black bean soup and citrus salad for an aromatic blend of flavors and textures that is sure to make a difference in your morning routine. Or for something lighter, top your burrito with an appetizing fruit and yogurt parfait as an additional option!

Freezer Tips

For easy on-the-go eating, wrap each burrito individually in tin foil or parchment paper before freezing for best results. This keeps tortillas from sticking together, and makes them easy to grab and reheat in the microwave when ready. For an added crunch before reheating in the microwave, heat some oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and crisp the burrito on each side until golden brown before heating back in the microwave.

If you prefer vegan burritos, make these by swapping out the eggs for a seasoned tofu scramble (see recipe notes) – this plant-based protein source provides similar texture and taste! In addition, switch out cheddar cheese for low-fat versions, or even dairy-free cheese for an indulgent creaminess without lactose!

Customize these burritos to meet your personal tastes by adding extra vegetables and toppings of your choosing, such as avocado slices or guacamole for extra healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Other possible additions could be crumbled bacon, refried beans, salsa or homemade pico de gallo with fresh cilantro or even a squeeze of lime for an extra pop.

These freezer breakfast burritos are an ideal way to start off your day on an energetic note! Not only are they quick, easy, and nutritious – but their freezer-friendliness also means you always have something ready to eat on hand! Anyone who enjoys burritos should give this dish a try – not to mention anyone looking for an indulgent vegetarian-based start. Enjoy!

Serving Ideas

Gluten free breakfast burritos can be enjoyed solo or with beans, salsa and fruit as additional components. For kids needing quick grab-and-go meals on the go, this recipe can also be turned into quesadilla using gluten free flour tortillas.

Make your breakfast burrito a tasty experience with ingredients like meats and cheeses, salsa, black beans and eggs – even adding fresh vegetables such as lettuce or chopped tomato can add extra freshness. Plus there’s always avocado, for an additional creamy texture and refreshing flavor in every bite!

From chicken, beef or pork – each option provides an abundance of protein-packed start to your day. Chicken is naturally gluten-free and pairs well with chili powder for an added kick in flavor; beef can be spiced up by using garlic & pepper seasoning or smoked paprika – while pork offers an irresistibly succulent aroma and taste, perfect for breakfast burrito bowls!

Breakfast burrito tortillas tend to be gluten-free; however, be sure to read through their ingredients list prior to purchasing one. Many brands offer both corn and flour tortillas; select the one that works for you!

Other menu items that naturally lack gluten include beverages like coffee, tea and orange juice as well as various desserts like cakes and cookies. If you have any queries about what’s in a dish or need more details regarding its components, reach out to your server or manager – they should be able to tell you exactly what ingredients go into their creation or suggest alternative choices; this can be particularly helpful at restaurants where chefs might not be aware of specific food allergies and intolerances that guests might have.
