Easy Burrito Ideas

Using What You Have on Hand makes creating breakfast burritos easier on busy mornings—and even better when you can whip them up using leftovers or pantry staples.

Torts (Hot Dog Breakfast Burrito

An easy version is to take a hot dog or two, some mustard and ketchup and wrap them up in a warm tortilla. You can add cheese or chili if you prefer. Yes, they are yummy. I've been informed they are called "Torts".

A Taste of Italy

Leftover spaghetti sauce? Warm it up and wrap it in a tortilla for a quick breakfast twist. You can also mix in spaghetti noodles before rolling it up. Bonus: It works great over a hot dog too (trust us).

Tex-Mex Chili Burrito

Got leftover chili? Heat it, spread it in a tortilla, wrap it up, and go. It's hearty, flavorful, and perfect for colder mornings.

Potato Burrito

Dice leftover baked potatoes, warm them up, and toss in some shredded cheese. Add chopped onions or chives for extra flavor, and season to taste. Wrap it all in a flour tortilla and you're out the door.

Bean Burritos

Warm up some canned beans-black, pinto, or refried-and combine with cheese in a warm tortilla. Beans are packed with protein and fiber, making this a wholesome, filling choice.

Veggie Burrito

Got leftover salad or chopped veggies? Wrap them in a tortilla with a bit of your favorite dressing. Technically it's a veggie wrap, but we're calling it a burrito because why not?

Steak Burrito

Slice up leftover steak (best while still warm and tender), wrap it in a tortilla, and enjoy it cold-or warm it if you prefer. Add sautéed peppers, onions, or greens for a hearty, protein-packed start.

Top your burritos with homemade Pico de Gallo


With just a little creativity and a stash of flour tortillas, you can turn almost anything into a delicious, quick breakfast burrito. Whether it's eggs, beans, or last night's dinner, there's always a way to wrap it and roll!
