  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Wraps

  • 6 large tortillas

Filling

  • 8 eggs, whisked
  • 1 can black beans (15 oz, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella recommended)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Olive oil, for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to warm up.
  2. Sauté onions and peppers: Add the diced onions and red bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Add beans, spices, and spinach: Stir in the drained black beans, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, smoked paprika, and spinach. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  4. Cook the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and reduce heat to low. Stir gently every minute for 5-6 minutes until eggs fully cook. Then fold in shredded cheese until melted and well combined.
  5. Assemble burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and spoon the egg and bean mixture into the center. Fold in the sides and roll from the bottom tightly to form a burrito.
  6. Store: Wrap each burrito individually in parchment paper or foil. Place in an airtight container or sealed bag. Freeze for up to 3 months or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  7. Reheat from frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or microwave for 90 seconds. To crisp the tortilla, air fry, bake at 350°F or grill on a pan for 5-7 minutes until heated through and slightly crisp.
  8. Reheat from fridge: Grill on a heated skillet with cooking spray or bake/air-fry at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Use any cheese of choice or make it dairy-free with vegan cheese.
  • For extra spice, add a sprinkle of chili flakes or hot sauce.
  • Customize fillings by adding avocado, salsa, or sour cream when serving.
  • These burritos freeze well—wrap individually to prevent freezer burn.
  • Reheat thoroughly to ensure eggs and beans are warm inside.
