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.
