These Protein Breakfast Burritos are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day, packed with eggs, sausage, beans, and veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled sausage or bacon
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup onions, diced
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: salsa, avocado, or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they’re softened.
  2. Stir in the cooked sausage (or bacon) and black beans, cooking until heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently until the eggs are fully cooked and scrambled, roughly 3-4 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the shredded cheese until it melts and is well combined.
  6. Lay out the tortillas flat. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
  7. Roll each tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go to prevent spillage.
  8. If you’re not eating them right away, wrap each burrito securely in foil or plastic wrap and freeze.
  9. To reheat, unwrap the burrito and microwave for about 2-3 minutes, or until hot throughout.

Notes

For best results, don’t overcook the eggs; keep them tender and fluffy. You can freeze extras for later.
