Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients are simple but essential to delivering that perfect balance of smoky, savory, and fresh flavors with a colorful, satisfying texture. Each component plays a key role in making this dish both delicious and perfectly Gluten-Free & Primal.

• Paleo Tortillas: These grain-free wraps are the foundation, replacing traditional tortillas with a tender yet sturdy alternative that holds all the fillings beautifully.
• Breakfast Sausage (1 pound): Choose bulk or remove from casing and chop; the savory, spiced meat adds rich flavor and protein.
• Red Onion (1 large): Adds a hint of sweetness and depth when cooked with the sausage.
• Green Pepper (1 medium, finely chopped): For a fresh crunch and a pop of vibrant color.
• Red Pepper (1 medium, finely chopped): Brings a subtle sweetness and brightens every bite.
• Eggs (8 large): Whisked and cooked to fluffy perfection, these provide creaminess and essential nutrients.
• Sea Salt: Enhances all the flavors naturally without overpowering them.
• Coconut Oil (2 tablespoons, divided): Adds healthy fats and helps cook the ingredients evenly while keeping everything moist.
• Raw Cheddar Cheese (1/2 pound, shredded, optional): For those who tolerate dairy, this adds a sharp, creamy layer that melts beautifully inside the burritos.

How to Make Gluten-Free & Primal

Step 1: Prepare the Perfect Paleo Tortillas

Begin by making your batch of the Perfect Paleo Tortillas using your favorite recipe or the one linked. These tortillas set the stage for the burritos, giving you a wonderful grain-free base that’s sturdy enough to hold all your fillings while maintaining a soft texture that’s easy to roll.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage and Peppers

In a large skillet with sides, cook the breakfast sausage, red onion, green pepper, and red pepper together until the sausage is fully cooked and no longer pink. The peppers and onions will soften and release their sweetness, perfectly complementing the savory sausage, creating a colorful and flavorful mixture.

Step 3: Prepare the Fluffy Eggs

In a separate skillet, heat one tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat and cook the beaten eggs, seasoning them liberally with sea salt and pepper. Stir gently to keep the eggs light and fluffy. The eggs add a luscious softness and nutritional density to your burritos.

Step 4: Assemble the Burritos

Lay out your paleo tortillas and divide the sausage and pepper mixture evenly between them. Add an equal portion of the cooked eggs on top, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese if you’re including dairy. Carefully roll up each tortilla into a burrito, wrapping tightly in foil or wax paper. Place them in a plastic bag and store in the freezer for up to three months — convenience and taste, all in one package!

How to Serve Gluten-Free & Primal

Garnishes

Adding garnishes like fresh avocado slices, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of homemade paleo-friendly salsa can elevate these burritos to restaurant-quality at home. They bring freshness and extra layers of flavor that brighten the dish and add pleasing textures.

Side Dishes

Pair these breakfast burritos with a crisp side salad of mixed greens tossed with lemon vinaigrette or a bowl of roasted sweet potatoes for a well-rounded and colorful meal. Both options complement the warm spices and hearty eggs perfectly, while keeping everything Gluten-Free & Primal.

Creative Ways to Present

For a fun brunch idea, slice the burritos crosswise into rounds and serve them like little breakfast sliders on a platter with different dipping sauces such as guacamole or paleo ranch. You could also place the burritos on a rustic wooden board with fresh fruit and nuts for a visually stunning, crowd-pleasing breakfast spread.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Once assembled, these burritos can be safely stored wrapped in foil or wax paper inside a resealable plastic bag in the freezer. They remain fresh and flavorful for up to three months, giving you the ultimate make-ahead breakfast solution. When refrigerated before reheating, the flavors meld beautifully.

Freezing

Freezing is a breeze with these burritos. Make a large batch, roll them up tightly, and freeze individually. This method locks in the freshness of the paleo tortillas and savory fillings. Just grab one whenever mornings get hectic, and you’re good to go with a Gluten-Free & Primal meal in minutes.

Reheating

To reheat refrigerated burritos, use a HotLogic Portable Oven or toaster oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes until warmed through. For frozen burritos, extend the heating time to 30 minutes in the toaster oven or 2 to 3 hours in the HotLogic Portable Oven. This method ensures even heating without sacrificing the burrito’s texture.

FAQs

Can I make these burritos dairy-free?

Absolutely! The cheddar cheese is optional and can be omitted for a fully dairy-free, yet still delicious, version that remains true to Gluten-Free & Primal eating principles.

What can I substitute for breakfast sausage?

If you prefer, you can swap out the sausage for ground turkey or chicken seasoned with your favorite herbs and spices. This keeps the protein source lean and consistent with the Gluten-Free & Primal theme.

How do I reheat these without a toaster oven?

If you don’t have a toaster oven or HotLogic Oven, reheating in a conventional oven wrapped in foil at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes works well to warm the burritos thoroughly while keeping them moist.

Can I customize the veggies?

Definitely. Feel free to experiment by adding mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini to your sausage and pepper mixture, enhancing flavor and nutrition while keeping it Gluten-Free & Primal.

How long do these burritos last in the freezer?

Stored properly wrapped and sealed, these burritos maintain their best quality up to three months, making them a superb freezer-friendly breakfast option for busy weeks.
