Protein-Packed Breakfast Burritos | Freezer Friendly Meal Prep 🌯💪
These Protein-Packed Breakfast Burritos are a delicious and convenient way to start your day, filled with scrambled eggs, black beans, and cheese. Perfect for meal prep, you can freeze them for a quick breakfast option that is both satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup black beans cooked and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your choice of cheese
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- In a bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables, scrambling gently until the eggs are fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cooked black beans and half of the shredded cheese to the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the egg and bean mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to create a burrito. Ensure they are tightly wrapped to prevent any filling from escaping.
- To freeze, wrap each burrito in foil or plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, unwrap the burrito and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
Notes
Tip 1: You can customize the filling by adding cooked sausage or spinach for extra flavor.
Tip 2: Make sure to let the burritos cool completely before freezing to prevent sogginess.
Variation: Try adding salsa or avocado for a fresh twist when serving.
