Healthy Breakfast Burritos (Easy Freezer-Friendly Recipe)
A quick, protein-packed breakfast burrito with eggs, black beans, and veggies, wrapped in whole-wheat tortillas and ready to freeze for busy mornings.
Equipment
- Large nonstick skillet
- Mixing bowl and whisk
- Cutting board and knife
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Spatula
- Aluminum foil or parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper finely diced
- 1 cup baby spinach roughly chopped
- 1 cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa plus more for serving
- 8 medium whole-wheat flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook 5 to 7 minutes until softened.
- Stir in black beans, spinach, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until spinach wilts.
- Whisk eggs and milk together until smooth.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour eggs into the skillet and gently push from edges to center. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until just set.
- Remove from heat and let filling rest 5 minutes.
- Warm tortillas 10 to 15 seconds in a dry skillet or microwave briefly under a damp paper towel.
- Add 1/2 cup filling below the center of each tortilla. Top with cheese and 1 tablespoon salsa.
- Fold in sides, fold bottom flap over filling, and roll tightly to close. Serve immediately, or wrap for storage.
Notes
Chef's Tip: Let the filling cool fully before rolling and wrapping burritos for the freezer; this prevents trapped steam from making the tortilla soggy.
