Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: salsa, avocado, or hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers; sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the cooked sausage or bacon along with the black beans, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is warmed through.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully scrambled, roughly 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until it’s fully melted and combined.
- Lay out the tortillas flat and divide the egg mixture evenly among them, placing it in the center of each tortilla.
- Roll each tortilla tightly, making sure to fold in the sides as you go to secure the filling.
- If storing for later, wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap and freeze until ready to use.
- To reheat, unwrap and microwave for about 2-3 minutes until hot throughout.
Notes
Serve with fresh salsa, sliced avocado, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
