A protein-packed and flavor-rich breakfast burrito perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.

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. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, 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, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the bottom starts to set, pushing the edges towards the center.
  5. Add the cream cheese, stirring until melted, and cook until the eggs are just done but still soft. Remove from heat.
  6. Warm each tortilla for 20 seconds in the microwave until pliable.
  7. Assemble each burrito by layering cheese, black beans, scrambled eggs, and sausage onto the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
  8. Wrap the 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.

Notes

These burritos can be customized with various toppings or different types of sausage or cheese.
