Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper (any color), diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Salsa, avocado, or hot sauce (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
Step 2: Add Black Beans and Spices: Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack the eggs and scramble them until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Step 4: Combine Mixtures: Add the black bean mixture back into the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir to combine everything well.
Step 5: Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about ¼ of the black bean and egg mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, enclosing the filling.
Step 6: Heat the Burritos: If desired, place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. This step is optional but adds a nice texture.
Step 7: Serve: Slice the burritos in half and serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro, and accompanied by salsa, avocado, or hot sauce as desired.
Notes
Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms for extra nutrition. You can also swap the flour tortillas for whole wheat or corn tortillas for a healthier option. For storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
