Easy camping breakfast burritos so you can enjoy a relaxing morning
Camping is all about spending time with nature and relaxing with family and friends. Most nights are spent stargazing and chatting the night away. Many late nights spent around the campfire are the norm and something to look forward to.

The tastes are endless and these popular easy breakfasts can be made beforehand so they’re ready to pop onto the campfire. Just heat and serve!

Steak and Egg
We can’t leave out the steak lovers. And these things are delicious. Using flap meat, top sirloin or rib eye steak and combining it Pico de Gallo is mouthwatering greatness. I think you could eat this one at any time of the day.
Flank Steak Camping Breakfast Burrito
This might be another steak breakfast burrito, but this one’s so good we just couldn’t leave it out. The combination of flank steak, avocado, hot sauce and bacon is simply irresistible. This juicy wrap will keep you full for hours. I could eat this one for breakfast everyday.
Storing in the freezer or cooler
Most of these can be made well before your camping trip and stored in the freezer. Then just toss them in the cooler on the day of your trip and they’ll be ready for any morning breakfast.
Here are a couple of tips for keeping them fresh:
- If its got avocado in it, add some lemon juice after pureeing to minimize avocado browning.
- Use paper towel to remove excess grease from bacon.
- I recommend not freezing cooked steak. It will be more likely to toughen. Steak tastes much better cooked fresh.
- Tightly wrap the burrito in either plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Aluminum foil is great because you can toss it on the campfire to heat. However, plastic wrap works better for freezing before hand as it will seal in the freshness.
