Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 whole wheat tortilla, 8-inch size
  • 12 tablespoons fresh salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color), optional
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

  1. Chop 1/2 cup bell peppers and 2 tablespoons green onions. Rinse and drain 1/2 cup canned black beans. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon chili powder until smooth.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and let sit for 15 seconds, then gently scramble with a spatula.
  4. When eggs are almost set but still slightly moist, add chopped peppers and beans. Cook together for another 30 seconds, then remove from heat.
  5. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds until pliable.
  6. Lay a tortilla flat, spoon about 1/4 cup of the egg mixture down the center, sprinkle 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese, and add 1-2 tablespoons salsa or pico de gallo.
  7. Fold the sides over and roll tightly from the bottom up.
  8. Wrap burritos individually in foil or plastic wrap for meal prep, or enjoy immediately with extra salsa on the side.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid overcooking eggs. Warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing. Customize with avocado, hot sauce, or different cheeses. For vegan option, substitute eggs with tofu scramble and use vegan cheese and dairy-free tortillas.
