Breakfast Burritos Ingredients
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or dairy-free cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: salsa or hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk along with a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined.
- Sauté vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the prepared egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add beans, tomatoes, and cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the black beans, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Stir until everything is warmed through and the cheese has melted slightly.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for about 15 seconds or on a dry skillet over medium heat until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the burritos: Divide the egg and vegetable mixture evenly among the warm tortillas. Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito shape.
- Serve: Serve the burritos immediately, optionally accompanied by salsa or hot sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- Make ahead: Wrap burritos in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Use a microwave or oven to reheat burritos before serving.
- Add-ins: Customize your burritos with avocado slices, turkey sausage, or sautéed mushrooms for extra variety and nutrition.
