Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup diced red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 4 flour tortillas (large, burrito size)
• 0.5 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 teaspoons hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture.

Step 3

Cook the eggs, stirring gently with a spatula, until they are softly scrambled and just set. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the black beans, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through and fragrant.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface for assembling the burritos.

Step 6

To assemble, evenly divide the scrambled eggs, black beans, shredded cheese, red bell pepper, diced tomatoes, and cilantro among the tortillas.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from one end to form a burrito.

Step 8

Optional: Lightly toast the wrapped burritos in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to give them a crispy exterior.

Step 9

Serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, and hot sauce on the side if desired.
