A hearty breakfast burrito filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, black beans, and melted shredded cheese, wrapped in a warm tortilla.
Ingredients
2 large flour tortillas
3 large eggs
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup salsa (optional)
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
Hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Scramble the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and milk (if using) until combined. Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour the eggs into the skillet and gently scramble until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Warm the black beans: In a separate small pan, warm the black beans over low heat, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
Assemble the burritos: Divide the scrambled eggs between the two tortillas. Top with warm black beans, shredded cheese, and optional salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce.
Roll the burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortillas, then roll them up from the bottom, tucking in the ingredients tightly to create a burrito.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy, or wrap in foil for a convenient breakfast on the go.
