Delicious Breakfast Burrito Recipe
Breakfast burritos are a versatile and satisfying meal that can be customized to your taste. This guide will provide you with a detailed recipe for making delicious breakfast burritos filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, black beans, and salsa.
Ingredients
– 8 large flour tortillas (10-12 inches)
– 8 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 cup salsa (mild or spicy, based on preference)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional toppings: avocado slices, sour cream, fresh cilantro, or hot sauce
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
– Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
– Rinse and drain the black beans.
2. Cook the Eggs:
– Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
– Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Burritos:
– Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
– In the center of the tortilla, add a portion of scrambled eggs (about 1/8 of the total), followed by a sprinkle of cheese, a few spoonfuls of black beans, and a spoonful of salsa.
– Note: Avoid overfilling to ensure easy rolling.
4. Roll the Burrito:
– Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling.
– Starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly up to the top, ensuring the filling is secure.
5. Optional – Crisp the Burritos:
– For a crispy exterior, heat a skillet over medium heat and place the rolled burritos seam-side down.
– Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
– Slice the burritos in half and serve with additional salsa, avocado, sour cream, or hot sauce if desired.
Tips and Notes
– Freezing Burritos: To make ahead, wrap each burrito tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then microwave or bake until heated through.
– Customization: Feel free to add other ingredients such as sautéed vegetables (like bell peppers or onions), cooked sausage, or different types of cheese to suit your taste.
– Serving Suggestions: These burritos pair well with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced breakfast.
– Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Enjoy your delicious breakfast burritos as a hearty start to your day!
