Ingredients
- Eggs: 6 large
- Cooked ground turkey or chicken: 1 cup
- Black beans: 1/2 cup, rinsed and drained
- Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- Salsa: 1/2 cup
- Whole wheat tortillas: 4 large
- Avocado: 1/2, diced
- Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Whisk the eggs in a bowl and pour them into the skillet with the meat. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through but still slightly moist.
- Step 3: Stir in the black beans and salsa, cooking for another minute to heat through.
- Step 4: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Step 5: Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top with cheddar cheese and diced avocado.
- Step 6: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up tightly. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.
Notes
- For longer storage, let the burritos cool completely before wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, freezing for up to 3 months.
- Reheat frozen burritos in the microwave by removing foil and wrapping in a damp paper towel, cooking in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
- Serve your burrito with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
- Don't overcook the eggs – slightly moist eggs make for a much better burrito filling that won't dry out.
