Black Bean Breakfast Burritos
Ingredients
-
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
-
1 cup diced red onion (about half of a large onion)
-
1 cup diced red bell pepper (about 1 medium)
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
-
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
dash of salt
-
1 15.5 ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed
-
2 teaspoons butter (or olive oil)
-
6 large eggs
-
3 Tablespoons water
-
6 8-inch flour tortillas - your favorite
-
3 ounces jalapeño pepper jack cheese (or your favorite)
-
3/4 cup Mary's Simple Salsa (or your favorite)
Preparation
-
Warm olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for a few minutes, stirring until they start to soften, but not brown. Stir in the peppers and continue to cook, stirring until softened - about 5 minutes. Stir in the spices and beans. Cook until well combined and heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and partially mash the mixture so that it holds together better in the burrito. Set aside.
-
Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the water until well combined, season with salt and pepper. In another medium skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and allow to set for a few seconds then with a rubber spatula pull the cooked egg mixture from the edges of the pan to the middle, allowing the liquid part to fill in and cook, stirring until no liquid left but still soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
-
Warm the tortillas - either in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side or in the microwave wrapped in damp paper towels according to package directions.
Lay the warmed tortillas onto a cutting board. Place 1/6th of the bean mixture onto the bottom third of the tortilla, then top with 1/6th of the scrambled eggs and 1/6th of the cheese. Tightly roll the tortilla over the mixture from the bottom, then fold in the sides, and continue to wrap firmly to form burrito. Set seam-side down. To serve, place on plate and warm in microwave for a minute, cut in half and enjoy with your favorite salsa.

Burritos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months in a freezer safe container. Set each burrito seam side down onto large piece of parchment or wax paper and tightly wrap. Store in air tight container.
-
To Reheat: From the refrigerator, microwave about 1 minute until heated through.
From the freezer, microwave in 30-second increments until heated through.
-
For a crispier burrito, warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and place unwrapped burrito seam-side down and cook about 3 minutes or until lightly browned, then turn over and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until desired.
