Ingredients

Scale
  • For the burrito filling:

    • 4 large eggs
    • 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
    • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
    • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast potatoes or hash browns
    • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
    • 1/4 cup diced onion
    • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
    • 1/4 cup salsa or diced tomatoes
  • For assembling:

    • 2 large flour tortillas
    • 1/4 avocado, sliced (optional)
    • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the eggs:

    • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until just cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Cook the vegetables:

    • In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and bell peppers until softened, about 2–3 minutes. Add the black beans and cooked potatoes to warm through.
  • Assemble the burritos:

    • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
    • Layer each tortilla with scrambled eggs, the vegetable mixture, shredded cheese, and salsa. Add optional avocado slices and cilantro for extra flavor.
  • Wrap it up:

    • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling.
    • If desired, lightly toast the burrito in a dry skillet for a crispy exterior.
  • Serve and enjoy:

    • Slice the burrito in half, if preferred, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For added protein, include cooked chicken or turkey sausage.
  • Adjust the fillings to your liking—spinach, mushrooms, or jalapeños make great additions.
  • Wrap the burritos in foil for a portable meal or to keep them warm longer.
