Description

A quick, 15-minute breakfast burrito featuring scrambled eggs, seasoned black beans, and melted cheese. This freezer-friendly recipe is high in protein, easy to customize, and perfect for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

6 large eggs
1 can (15 oz / 425g) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup (100g) shredded cheddar cheese
4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon water (for heating beans)
Butter or oil (for cooking eggs)

Instructions

Prep ingredients: Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with a pinch of salt. Drain and rinse black beans. Measure spices and grate cheese.
Warm the beans: Place drained black beans in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon of water. Cover loosely and microwave for 1-2 minutes until hot. Stir in garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Set aside.
Scramble the eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with butter or oil. Pour in eggs and gently push from edges to center until just barely set but still moist. Remove from pan.
Warm the tortillas: Microwave each tortilla for 15-20 seconds or warm in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until pliable.
Assemble: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Add a scoop of beans, scrambled eggs, and sprinkle cheese on top. Add optional toppings like avocado or salsa.
Roll: Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tucking it in tight. Fold in the sides and roll upward from the bottom, keeping tension to create a snug burrito.
Serve or store: Serve immediately. For meal prep, wrap tightly in foil and freeze. Reheat frozen burritos in the microwave with a damp paper towel for 90 seconds.

Notes

Warm tortillas are essential to prevent tearing. Season the beans well as they are the bulk of the protein. For meal prep, let burritos cool completely before wrapping to avoid condensation. Use corn tortillas for gluten-free options (use two per burrito).
