Oh boy, let me tell you about my love for Breakfast Burritos! There’s something so wonderfully indulgent about rolling up a warm, hearty mix of ingredients in a soft tortilla, and they’re perfect for those busy mornings when you still want to enjoy something delicious. I remember the first time I made these burritos for a brunch with friends. The smells wafting through the kitchen drew everyone in like moths to a flame, and soon enough, we were all laughing, chatting, and devouring these tasty wraps.
What makes my Breakfast Burrito with Eggs and Beans unique is the customizable nature—feel free to switch up the ingredients based on what you have on hand. Maybe you fancy some spicy jalapeños or creamy avocado? Go for it! This recipe is your canvas, and I’m here to help paint a delicious masterpiece.
What’s in Breakfast Burrito with Eggs and Beans?
Eggs: The star of the show! Eggs bring that fluffy, protein-packed goodness that makes your burrito filling and satisfying. I prefer using organic eggs for a richer flavor and better quality.
Canned Beans: I usually go with black beans for that earthy taste and creamy texture. They’re not just delicious but also an excellent source of protein and fiber—perfect for keeping you full until lunch!
Tortillas: Soft flour tortillas are my go-to, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try corn tortillas or even whole wheat for a healthier option.
Cheese: You can’t forget cheese! A bit of shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack melts beautifully and adds a savory touch.
Vegetables: I love adding chopped bell peppers and onions. They not only add flavor but also a nice crunch to the burrito.
Spices: Cumin and paprika are my favorite spices for a little extra kick. They brighten up the flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
Is Breakfast Burrito with Eggs and Beans Good for You?
Absolutely! This breakfast burrito is packed with nutrients.
Eggs: Provide high-quality protein, essential vitamins, and satiety, keeping you energized throughout the morning.
Black Beans: Loaded with fiber, they also support digestive health and keep your blood sugar stable.
But let’s not get too carried away—these burritos can be a bit calorie-dense, especially if you pile on the cheese and sour cream. Moderation is key, and remember, it’s all about balance!

How to Make Breakfast Burrito with Eggs and Beans?
1. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add in the black beans and cook for another 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Pour them into the skillet with the veggies and beans. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked.
4. While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas in another skillet or microwave until soft.
5. Once the eggs are done, remove from heat and divide the mixture evenly onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese.
6. Wrap the tortillas tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go.
7. For an extra delight, you can grill the burritos seam side down for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
8. Serve with salsa and a dollop of sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
Fresh Takes on Your Burrito
Don’t be afraid to get creative! Try adding spinach or another leafy green for extra nutrition. You could swap out black beans for refried beans if that’s more your style, or even toss in some cooked breakfast sausage for meat lovers. And if you’re feeling extra indulgent, throw some avocado in there for creaminess.
