A simple and delicious foil packet breakfast burrito recipe perfect for camping mornings, combining eggs, sausage, veggies, and cheese cooked over a campfire or grill with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, beaten (room temperature if possible)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch preferred, 8-inch can be used)
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (yellow or white)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for sautéing
  • Salsa, for serving or adding inside the burrito (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: diced tomatoes, jalapeños, black beans, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat your campfire grill or portable grill to medium heat, about 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a cast iron skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add crumbled sausage, diced bell peppers, and onions. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until sausage is browned and veggies are softened. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk 6 large eggs until combined.
  4. Tear off four 18-inch squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil, one for each burrito.
  5. Lay one tortilla on each foil square. Divide the sausage-veggie mixture evenly among the tortillas, spreading it in the center.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of beaten eggs over the sausage mixture on each tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup (25 g) shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Carefully fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, tucking in the edges to create a neat parcel.
  8. Fold up the edges of the foil squares tightly around the burritos, sealing completely to trap steam.
  9. Place the foil packets on the grill grate over medium heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through with tongs. The eggs should be fully set and the cheese melted.
  10. Let the packets cool for a minute before carefully unwrapping (watch out for steam!). Serve with salsa or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Pre-cook sausage and veggies before assembling to ensure even cooking. Seal foil packets tightly to trap steam and prevent leaks. Rotate packets halfway through cooking for even heat. Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent cracking. For gluten-free, use corn tortillas but handle carefully. For vegetarian, substitute sausage with tofu crumbles or beans.
