This simple and delicious egg and black bean breakfast burrito recipe is one of my "go-to's" for days on the run.  Eat black bean breakfast burritos fresh or freeze for later.

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs, beaten
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1 (15oz) can black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 8 ounces colby jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups of salsa, reduced on stovetop
  • 12 flour tortillas (12 taco size or 6 burrito size)

Instructions

  • Add salsa to small pan and simmer for ~ 10 minutes or until reduced and thickened (this prevents soggy burritos).
  • Add salt, pepper, and water to eggs and whisk in a bowl.
  • Add butter to a large pan until melted.  Add eggs and gently fold over each other until large curds form and eggs are done to your liking.  Throw cooked eggs in a large clean bowl. 
  • Add drained black beans, cheese, and salsa to eggs.
  • Bring a skillet large enough to hold tortillas to medium low heat. Place one tortilla at a time in pan for ~ 10 seconds per side or until tortilla is warm and pliable.  You don't want it toast or browned.
  • Place a large spoonful in each tortilla, more towards the side facing you but leaving room at the edges.  Bring edges in and tuck the burrito into itself and roll.  Good luck - burrito wrapping will become easier and easier!
  • Wrap 'em up in aluminum foil if you want to freeze. 
  • Serve with extra salsa, sour cream, avocado, or arugula if you like.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes

  • Wanna add potatoes?  Cut up a big potato, add to salted cold water by 1" and simmer ~ 12 minutes.
  • Have leftover filling?  Lucky you, eat it up 🙂
  • Having trouble wrapping the burrito?  You can eat it like a soft shell taco, but just keep working at it.  Start with less filling and increase the filling amount as you get better.
