School mornings are tough. Waking everyone up, getting lunches ready and making sure all belongings go to school can make for a hectic experience. El Monterey Signature Breakfast Burritos help me have a mom win on busy school mornings.
Here are some of my tips for how I survive the morning and get out the door on time:
1. Plan ahead. “If you don’t plan ahead, you plan to fail” is something of a motto that I try my best to follow.
To help do that, I take the girls with me food shopping so that we have a variety of breakfast items that will make everyone happy. One of the items that is a crowd pleaser is the El Monterey breakfast burritos found in the freezer section.
2. Prepare lunch the night before.
Another way to enjoy breakfast time is to have lunch prepared. Making sandwiches, cutting fruits and veggies and preparing water bottles the evening before can save much needed minutes in the morning. Quick, easy breakfasts give us more time to enjoy each other in the morning.
3. Pack schoolbags the night before.
No one likes to run around searching for everything in the morning. To help everyone get ready, we pack all backpacks once homework and studying is done. In addition, we put phones, sports items, instruments or whatever is needed that day right by the backpack so that we do not forget. I have everyone’s schedules in my Google calendar so I can easily check my phone and see what everyone needs.
If my three savvy ladies and I succeed at having the above items done, then the morning is much smoother and there is time to enjoy breakfast and be together as a family before the school day begins. With just a few minutes to prep, El Monterey Breakfast burritos are ready.
If the morning is super busy such as the ones where there is early instrument practice, I wrap a paper towel around the burrito and we are ready take breakfast on-the-go.

When we plan ahead, it is truly a #MomWins moment!
I’m almost ashamed to say that my little guy (who leaves at 7:30) will only eat some turkey bacon and drink milk before leaving and my oldest and middle child leave at 7:50 and eat at school. It’s too crazy to feed all kids in the morning and get us all out. I don’t end up eating until I get to my office at 8:45.
These sound great! Perfect for us busy moms who barely can grab a bite in the morning! I can warm up while doing other things and then grab on the way out
School mornings are so crazy in my house! I forget to eat until lunch sometimes so these would be great for me!
You’re right, morning chaos is no fun at all. We pack the night before too.
That breakfast sure does look good. Looks like everyone is ready for school
We are always on the go and with my kiddo’s school being so far away we run out the door usually with a bagel in hand. This looks like a MUCH tastier breakfast! My kids would love it!
I think planning ahead is a big thing for me to get out of the door on time. I think my daughter would love these for her breakfast.
I had no idea that El Monterey made a breakfast burrito now!! This sounds like it would be great for some of the crazy mornings we have!
I really love the convenience of these. I also love that they’re easy to grab and go.
GREAT TIPS
must go shopping now!!
My husband loves breakfast burritos! Adding these to my grocery list for the week.
Those look really yummy, and I love your great tips. Such a good point that failure to plan is a plan to fail. I needed that reminder. Thanks!
While we love to cook breakfast some mornings are just too crazy. These would be great in a pinch!
These are great tips! If I only listened to my own advice and planned ahead!
These look so delish! I just printed out the coupon. I’m always looking for quick breakfast options!
