Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortillas

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)

  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/4 cup salsa (optional)

  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)

  • Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

  • Scramble the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and milk (if using) until combined. Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour the eggs into the skillet and gently scramble until cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Warm the black beans: In a separate small pan, warm the black beans over low heat, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
  • Warm the tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
  • Assemble the burritos: Divide the scrambled eggs between the two tortillas. Top with warm black beans, shredded cheese, and optional salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce.
  • Roll the burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortillas, then roll them up from the bottom, tucking in the ingredients tightly to create a burrito.
  • Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy, or wrap in foil for a convenient breakfast on the go.
