Back when I was young, lean, and well tanned and spent summers catering houseboat trips at Utah’s Lake Powell, this recipe for Egg Burritos was one of the most popular breakfasts on the houseboat. A Lake Powell client actually named them Egg Burritos To Die For, and in those days they were definitely not low in carbs.
But when I started finding delicious low-carb flour tortillas I started making these egg burritos again as a regular breakfast at home. Sometimes I just cook some eggs and make one burrito for breakfast. But I love to make this when I have houseguests, and when I’m making them for a crowd I warm the burritos in the Crock-Pot Casserole Crock Slow Cooker (affiliate link).
Of course you can easily keep the burritos warm in a casserole dish in the oven as well.
And I think this is a great family breakfast idea to make during the holidays, so I’m reminding you about it for Friday Favorites this week! Hope you enjoy trying them. And I am wishing all my readers Happy Holidays and a good new year to come!

WHAT IF YOU’RE NOT COOKING FOR A CROWD?
If you’re not cooking for a crowd, just make one or two burritos for breakfast and refrigerate the rest of the egg mixture to reheat later and make egg burritos again for breakfast for a few days.
CAN EGG BURRITOS BE FROZEN?
If you’re not going to be able to eat this many burritos, there are very good instructions for freezing them in the complete recipe!
WHAT LOW-CARB TORTILLAS DO I USE FOR EGG BURRITOS ?
I’m a huge fan of Mission Carb Balance Low-Carb Tortillas (affiliate link) and those are the tortilla I use for these Egg Burritos. And recently they redesigned the package and improved the formula so they’re now even lower in carbs. But there are many good options for low-carb tortillas, so use the one you prefer.
