Quick and easy breakfast burritos perfect for meal prep. Just heat, eat, and go!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs, beaten
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend
- 4 flour tortillas, 8-inch size
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh salsa or your favorite jarred salsa
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (unsalted preferred)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Optional add-ins: cooked breakfast sausage, diced avocado, or hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt, a pinch of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet with the veggies. Stir gently and continuously to scramble, cooking for about 3–4 minutes until just set but still moist. Avoid overcooking.
- Heat black beans in a small saucepan or microwave until warm.
- Lay a tortilla flat on your workspace. Spoon a quarter of the egg and veggie mixture down the center. Add about 1/4 cup of warm black beans, followed by 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese and 1 tablespoon of salsa. Sprinkle chopped cilantro if desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose all the fillings.
- Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, unwrap and microwave on high for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway, or bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20 minutes until heated through. Add extra time if frozen solid.
