Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
- 8 eggs, scrambled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or turkey sausage (crumbled)
- 1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup salsa (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and sauté diced bell peppers and onions until softened. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, scramble the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook until just set and set aside to cool.
- Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a small portion of scrambled eggs, sausage, black beans, sautéed vegetables, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. If using, add a spoonful of salsa and a touch of cilantro.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom.
- Wrap for Freezing:
- Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn. Label with the date and store in a freezer-safe bag or container.
- Reheat:
- Microwave: Remove foil, wrap in a damp paper towel, and microwave for 1–2 minutes until heated through.
- Oven: Remove foil, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
1️⃣ Cool Before Freezing: Ensure all fillings are completely cooled before assembling and freezing the burritos. This prevents sogginess and maintains the texture of the tortillas.
2️⃣ Don’t Overfill: Use moderate amounts of filling to avoid difficulty in wrapping and potential tearing of the tortilla during rolling or reheating.
3️⃣ Label and Rotate: Always label your burritos with the date and contents. Eat the oldest burritos first to keep your freezer stock fresh and avoid waste.
