A breakfast burrito is a satisfying and flavour-packed morning meal that combines the goodness of various ingredients wrapped in a warm tortilla. While it can be customised with an array of fillings, one essential ingredient that adds both taste and nutrition is the humble egg. At the heart of a breakfast burrito lies the perfectly scrambled or fried egg. Eggs bring a delightful creaminess and protein-packed goodness to the dish, elevating its overall flavour and nutritional profile.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the whisked eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they are scrambled and cooked through, about 2 minutes.
- Add the black beans to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until heated through.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or in a dry pan over medium heat.
- Divide the scrambled eggs and black beans between the two tortillas. Top each with cheese and salsa.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, tucking in the ends to prevent the filling from falling out.
- Slice the burritos in half and serve.
