Freezer Sausage Breakfast Burrito (Paleo, AIP, Egg-free)
This sausage, potato, bacon, and mushroom breakfast burrito is a hearty breakfast that can be frozen for meal prep! It’s paleo, AIP, and egg-free.
AIP Breakfast Burritos are Here!
If you have a lot of food intolerances like eggs, grains, etc. you’ll know that something like breakfast burritos is incredibly hard to come by. You can’t just walk into any ol’ restaurant and get an AIP or paleo breakfast burrito, nor is it easy to make one at home… until now.
These sausage breakfast burritos are totally paleo, and AIP and made with a ready-made burrito tortilla that you can buy in stores for convenience! Not only are they paleo, but they’re also egg-free if you don’t tolerate eggs. Heck yes!
I’m married to a native Texas who loves Tex-Mex and I’ve lived in Texas since I was 12 years old. So trust me when I say that these burritos are legit.
Why I love this breakfast burrito
They’re made with Siete Foods Burrito size Tortillas
I’ve been a fan of Siete foods since before they were even called Siete! Their new burrito wraps are the very first product that are AIP compliant! Their regular tortillas are not, so this is huge! As of the time I’m sharing this recipe, these wraps can be found in Whole Foods. You can always reach out directly to Siete or request your local store to carry them.
They’re egg-free
Not that eggs are bad, but if you have an intolerance, egg-free breakfast burritos can be hard to find!
They can be frozen
As an expecting first time mom, I’m all about the freezer life these days!
How to make this AIP Breakfast Burrito
- Cook the sweet potato: Using a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato and lightly season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the sweet potato is crisped to your liking. Top with cilantro and set aside.
- Cook the sausage: Using the same pan (or a new pan if needed) add the pork sausage and cook until browned, using a wooden spoon to crumble. Set aside.
- Cook the mushrooms: Add the mushrooms to the same pan and lightly salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Set aside.
- Wrap the burrito: Lightly heat the burrito tortillas as instructed on the package. Add the sweet potato, sausage, mushroom, and 1 strip of bacon to the center of each tortilla, being careful not to overfill. Roll the burrito by folding up the bottom edge about a third of the way, then folding in the two corners, and rolling the burrito tightly. Slice the burritos and serve with chimichurri.
Tips & Tricks for Making This Burrito
Soften the burrito wrap in a pan
The instructions on how to do this are written in the recipe and on the back of the packaging
Crisp in a pan afterward if desired
If you like you burritos crispy, you can easily add this back to a pan with some oil and crisp
Be careful about overfilling the burrito
Burritos are an art! I’ve included measurements, but honestly it will vary depending on the size of your vegetable cuts, how tight you roll the burrito etc. Just keep eyeballing it, and remember you can start over.
What if you can’t find the siete burrito wraps in stores?
If you can’t find this specific burrito wrap that I’m using, you can use one that you tolerate of your choice, or simply make it a burrito bowl!
How to freeze the burrito
Allow the burrito to cool completely before wrapping it tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap (no, I don’t like plastic wrap either, but it works if you’re using the freezer). Transfer to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for a month. Make sure that none of your ingredients are previously frozen! Transfer to the fridge the evening before you plan to eat it to allow to defrost, and heat in a pan before enjoying.
If you choose to top the burrito with chimichurri, freeze it separately to avoid making the burrito soggy!
To crisp or not to crisp?
For me, I like burritos and tacos soft! I prefer not to crisp them. However, these crisp great and my husband loves it that way! If you freeze it, you’ll totally want to crisp it after it defrosts to make sure that it’s well heated.
All you have to do to crisp it up is heat some oil in a pan, carefully place the wrapped burrito in the hot pan, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side!
The Ingredients for this recipe
Siete Foods Burrito Wrap
As of the time I’m writing this post, this is a new product. They’re mostly sold in whole foods in the refrigerated or freezer section. You can always request other stores to carry them!
Sausage & bacon
You can get creative with the sausage here. You can either use ground pork sausage, chicken, or turkey. It’s up to you and your preferences!
Sweet potato
I use white sweet potato, but you can easily use orange sweet potato.
Mushrooms
Chimichurri
I like to add chimichurri afterward to add some greens and flavor. If you’re freezing this burrito, freeze the chimichurri separately.

Hi! Looking forward to trying these and actually making them now. How do you reheat after frozen?
Transfer to the fridge the evening before you plan to eat it to allow to defrost, and heat in a pan before enjoying!
These were amazing!! It felt like I was eating a gluten, dairy filled burrito. Thanks for the great recipe.
I’m new to AIP and am confused about this recipe. It states it’s AIP, but it says to use pepper in the sweet potatoes. But your ‘stay away from’ list specifies pepper. So do we avoid it or can we use it? Or perhaps white pepper is OK, although it doesn’t mention that.
To keep the recipe AIP, omit the black pepper and use ground pork and the AIP sausage seasoning in the recipe instead of ground pork sausage.
Thank you. Love the recipes you share! Wish you the best as you prepare for that precious baby.
Thank you so much, Michelle!! 🙂
None of these wraps are NOT AIP compliant
Correction – NONE OF THESE wraps are AIP compliant – the cassava wraps contain Xanthan Gum.
The new burrito-sized wraps are indeed AIP. A photo of the ingredients is included here and there is no xantham gum. I also state that this particular product is the only one of their products that are AIP… the others are not.
This looks so good! I’ve been making so many of your recipes lately and pinning them to freeze because I’m also pregnant! Keep the freezer prep tips coming!
Congratulations!! Yes! More to come 🙂 Next week is freezer week on the blog!
Looks good and I love the ingredients but why plastic baggies? We need to do better.
