The 60 Second Breakfast Burrito

Before you reach for a pre packaged breakfast burrito, try this easy and quick homemade version you can make yourself.  It only uses five ingredients, olive oil, eggs, cheese, a can of black beans and a flour tortilla.  When you need a hot brekkie for the kids that they can eat in the car, what easier meal than a burrito? Plus, did you know canned beans have more soluble fiber than dried beans? They are also packed with protein.  Eggs are also high in protein and vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium.  And a protein packed breakfast leaves kids feeling fuller longer.  Cook them in extra virgin olive oil and you’ve again added monounsaturated fat to this meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 can drained black beans (I usually snack on the other half while I make them!)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning (optional)
  • salt and pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat an omelet pan to medium heat.  
  2. Meanwhile, scramble the eggs.  
  3. Add the oil and add the eggs, stirring vigorously until scrambled.  
  4. Add the canned black beans and taco seasoning and stir to combine.  
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among the five tortillas, sprinkle with cheese and roll up into a burrito.  
  6. Eat immediately, or store in a ziplock in the fridge for breakfasts later on in the week.
