These foil packet breakfast burritos are a quick, easy, and flavorful campfire breakfast option featuring sausage, eggs, sautéed veggies, and melted cheese wrapped in a soft tortilla. Perfect for camping or any morning when you want a hearty, fuss-free meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage, crumbled and cooked
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (yellow or white)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for sautéing veggies and sealing foil packets)
  • Optional extras: diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, salsa, or avocado slices for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add butter or oil and sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined but not overly frothy.
  4. Add the cooked sausage and sautéed veggies to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon equal portions of the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  6. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other to form burritos.
  7. Tear off large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil (at least 12×12 inches). Place each burrito in the center of a foil square and fold up the edges tightly to create sealed packets. Double wrap for extra security if desired.
  8. Place the foil packets on hot coals or grill grate. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs halfway through, until eggs are fully set and cheese is melted.
  9. Carefully unwrap the foil (watch for steam) and serve with salsa, avocado, or your favorite hot sauce.

Notes

Use heavy-duty foil and double wrap to prevent leaks. Pre-cook sausage and veggies to reduce cooking time and ensure even cooking. Adjust fire heat to medium to avoid burning. Burritos can be baked in the oven at 375°F for about 20 minutes as an alternative to campfire cooking. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in foil in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
