A hearty breakfast burrito packed with protein and flavor, perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
  • 12 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed (optional)
  • 6 large tortillas
  • 6–8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Green onions, cilantro, chipotle mayo, pico de gallo, or avocado for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F if you plan to bake the burritos right away.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into pieces until no pink remains. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Lower the heat to medium, add the diced poblano peppers, and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the whisked eggs, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the bottom starts to set. Push the edges to let uncooked eggs run underneath.
  5. Add the cream cheese and continue cooking until melted, and the eggs are just cooked but still soft. Remove from heat.
  6. Warm each tortilla for 20 seconds in the microwave or over a gas flame until pliable.
  7. Assemble burritos by layering cheese, black beans, scrambled eggs, and sausage in each tortilla. Fold the sides over and roll tightly.
  8. Wrap burritos in foil and bake for 8-10 minutes until heated through.
  9. For freezer-friendly burritos, wrap before baking and store in a freezer bag. Bake from frozen at 425°F for 20 minutes or microwave for 2 minutes after removing foil.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
