Ingredients

Before you start making your Mexican breakfast burritos, gather the following ingredients:

– 4 large tortillas (preferably corn or whole wheat)
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or chorizo, optional
– 1/2 cup diced onions
– 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
– 1/4 cup diced green onions
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado, or hot sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat while you prepare the filling.

2. Cook the Eggs: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, and cook until they are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

3. Scramble the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables and cook until the eggs are set but still slightly moist. Remove from heat.

4. Cook the Breakfast Meat: If using breakfast sausage or chorizo, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Cook the meat until it is browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

5. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over the tortilla. Add a generous amount of cooked eggs, black beans, cooked breakfast meat, diced onions, bell peppers, and green onions. Be sure to leave a small border around the edges.

6. Fold the Burrito: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and finally roll the tortilla up tightly to enclose the filling.

7. Cook the Burrito: Place the assembled burrito seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are lightly golden and the cheese is melted.

8. Serve: Remove the burritos from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Cut each burrito in half and serve with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, avocado, or hot sauce.
