Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or turkey/plant-based sausage)
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Salsa, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice the bell peppers and onion finely. Crumble the cooked breakfast sausage into bite-sized pieces if not already done. Mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic; sauté until softened and fragrant, about 4–5 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  3. Toss in rinsed black beans and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat 8 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour eggs into the skillet with veggies and beans. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently stir with a spatula, cooking until eggs are just set but still soft (about 4 minutes). Remove from heat.
  5. Fold the cooked sausage and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture while still warm, so the cheese melts beautifully.
  6. Briefly warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 15 seconds each to make them pliable and easy to roll.
  7. Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about ½ cup of filling in a line down the center. Add a tablespoon of salsa and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if you like. Fold the sides in, then roll tightly from one end to the other.
  8. Wrap each burrito individually in parchment paper or foil. Place in an airtight container or freezer bag. Refrigerate if eating within 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  9. For refrigerated burritos, microwave for 1–2 minutes until warm. For frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge then heat, or microwave on high for 2–3 minutes, flipping halfway.

Notes

Warm tortillas briefly before rolling to prevent cracking. Cook eggs on medium-low heat to keep them tender and creamy. Fold cheese in off the heat to avoid greasiness. Wrap burritos tightly for freezing to avoid freezer burn. Reheat with a damp paper towel to keep tortillas soft.
