Instructions
Creating a breakfast burrito is a simple process that doesn’t take much time, making it ideal for any morning routine. Here’s how to do it:
- Sauté the Vegetables
In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onions, and sauté them until they are soft and fragrant. This should take about 5 minutes. - Prepare the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir continuously to scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked. - Add Black Beans and Cheese
Once the eggs are cooked, add the black beans and half of the shredded cheese to the skillet. Mix everything well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed and the cheese begins to melt. - Warm the Tortillas
While the egg mixture is finishing, warm the whole wheat tortillas in another skillet or microwave them for a few seconds until they are pliable. - Assemble the Burritos
Lay each tortilla flat and fill it with a portion of the egg mixture. Top with the remaining cheese. Roll up each tortilla tightly to form a burrito. - Serve with Salsa
Place the burritos on a serving plate and enjoy them with your favorite salsa on the side for dipping.
