Perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends, this Breakfast Burrito is sure to become a favorite in your breakfast routine. Let’s dive into how to create this delightful morning treat.
Ingredients:
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons salsa (choose your preferred heat level)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them with a fork until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour in the beaten eggs. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Warm the Tortilla: Place the flour tortilla on a microwave-safe plate and microwave it for 10-15 seconds, or until it is warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay the warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon the scrambled eggs onto the center of the tortilla, leaving some space around the edges. Next, add the black beans, salsa, and shredded cheese on top of the scrambled eggs.
- Roll Up the Burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling completely. Press gently to secure the ends.
