Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: ~5 minutes
Yield: 6 burritos Serving Size: 1 burrito
Ingredients:
- Six 8” whole grain or high fiber tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 1 can low sodium pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- 2/3 cup reduced-fat shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
- 6 tbsp. of salsa
- Several dashes of hot sauce (optional)
Directions:
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk with a fork until they turn pale yellow. Stir in the beans and season with hot sauce.
- Pour the oil into a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until just set (about 2-4 minutes).
- Mix in the cheese, cilantro, and green onion. Transfer to a bowl.
- Briefly run each tortilla under water, then warm it in the microwave (10-20 seconds) or in a skillet. This is a pro tip to help the tortilla be more flexible when wrapping and prevent it from breaking.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread on 1 tbsp. of salsa. Add 1/3 cup scrambled eggs on top.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll it up with the seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- If serving immediately, cut the burritos in half or serve whole.
Tips and Tricks:
- If you’re freezing the burritos for later: Let the burritos cool to room temperature, then wrap each burrito in plastic wrap. Transfer the wrapped burritos to a freezer-safe bag and squeeze out the air before sealing.
- For the best flavor, consume your burritos within 3 to 6 months.
- To defrost frozen burritos, unwrap the plastic wrap and then wrap the burrito in a damp paper towel. Microwave for about 2 to 3 minutes, until warmed throughout. I like to serve mine with some extra salsa!
