Ingredient Notes

• Flour tortillas – Large tortillas work best since they hold more filling and fold easily into pockets. If you prefer whole wheat or low-carb tortillas, those swap in just fine.
• Eggs – Scramble them soft so they don’t overcook when reheated later. You can also use just egg whites for a lighter option.
• Breakfast sausage or bacon – Use whatever you like best, or even swap in turkey sausage for a leaner choice. Just make sure it’s fully cooked before assembling.
• Cheddar cheese – Shredded cheddar melts nicely, but pepper jack or a Mexican blend will add a little extra flavor.
• Salsa – A mild salsa keeps it family-friendly, but feel free to use medium or hot if you want more kick. You could also try salsa verde for a fun twist.

Before You Bake

Do I need to cook the eggs and sausage before freezing?
Yes, both the eggs and sausage (or bacon) should be fully cooked before assembling the taco pockets. This keeps them safe to freeze and ensures the filling heats evenly later.

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour?
Corn tortillas don’t fold and seal as well, so they may crack when frozen. Flour tortillas are best for this recipe, but you could try street-taco size flour tortillas for smaller pockets.

How do I keep the taco pockets from opening in the freezer?
Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil. If you want extra security, you can give the edges a quick brush of water before pressing.
