Print Recipe

A quick and easy breakfast burrito recipe that can be assembled, frozen, and reheated for busy mornings. Combines scrambled eggs, black beans, cheese, and salsa wrapped in tortillas for a convenient and delicious meal prep option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, beaten (room temperature helps for fluffier eggs)
  • 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 (yellow or white)
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 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

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and diced bell pepper and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Heat black beans in a small saucepan or microwave until warm.
  5. 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.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from one end to the other to enclose all the fillings.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

Notes

Avoid overcooking eggs to keep them creamy. Warm black beans separately to prevent cold spots. Warm tortillas briefly if they crack when rolling. When reheating in microwave, cover burrito with a damp paper towel to keep tortilla soft. Burritos freeze well up to 3 months; can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
