Description

A hearty, flavorful make-ahead breakfast wrap filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, sautéed peppers and onions, crispy potatoes, black beans, and melty cheddar, finished with fresh cilantro and salsa.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (10-inch) large flour tortillas
  • 6 large eggs, whisked
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cooked potatoes, diced and pan-fried
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Warm a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Whisk the 6 large eggs in a mixing bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper until smooth.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet, then sauté the finely chopped onion and diced red bell pepper until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced, cooked potatoes and 1/2 cup cooked black beans to heat through.
  5. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet, pour in the whisked eggs, and scramble gently over low to medium heat until soft and just set.
  6. Place one warm 10-inch tortilla on a clean surface, add a portion of the scrambled eggs and vegetable mixture, sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar (or desired amount), add a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
  7. Fold the tortilla sides in, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure the filling.
  8. Toast the wrapped burrito in a dry skillet 1 to 2 minutes per side until golden and slightly crisp, serve warm with extra salsa or avocado if desired.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking and make folding easier.
  • Scramble eggs gently over low heat for a fluffy, creamy texture.
  • Layer cheese against the warm eggs so it melts evenly.
  • Do not overfill tortillas to avoid tearing and difficult folding.
  • Freeze burritos individually wrapped in foil for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
