Easy peasy spicy egg and black bean burritos (An awesome Breakfast)
Eggs are awesome. Not only do they cook fast but they are cheap, nutritious but are also versatile.
Black beans are magic. I bulk boil them and freeze them so I have a constant supply. I use them in tex mex dishes, Quesadillas, salads, rice bowls and these awesome Burritos.
If you use freshly boiled beans you can make some extra Burritos to freeze so you always have a hot Breakfast on hand in the freezer. Plus these bad boys are healthier than a lot of the ready made stuff you can pick up at certain fast food places.
This is a great recipe to use for bulk preparing Breakfasts.
To make two of these bad boys you will need:
2 large tortilla wraps
- 4 eggs (see note below)
- Red Chili powder (to your tasting: I find a 1/4 of a tsp is enough as I also add chili sauce)
- 2 TBSP milk
- Salt
- Pepper
- (whisk the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper)
- 1 TBSP oil (or a small knob of butter)
- 6 TBSP cooked black beans
- TBSP salsa (I use a chunky one)
- Optional: chili sauce
- Coriander leaves
1) Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper together.
2) Heat a medium pan and add the butter (or oil) on a medium heat. Now add the egg mixture and stir well. It will start to form clumps of egg. That’s what you want. Cooking the eggs should take around 4-5 minutes.
3) Lightly warm the wrap.
4) Place on a large chopping board or plate and add half the mixture. Add half the beans. Push the mixture towards the centre (I would watch a Burrito rolling video to understand the technique).
5) Add the beans and salsa. Add the coriander (if using) Sprinkle on the cheese. Add chili sauce if required.
6) Now roll that bad boy up!
7) Serve!
To freeze:
Roll up the Burritos and wrap in Cling film. Then place in a ziploc bag, label and freeze.
To heat up: take out of the freezer. Remove from the bag and remove the cling film . Take a piece of kitchen paper and dampen it. Wrap it with the paper (loosely) and zap in the Microwave for 2.5-3 minutes. Remove the kitchen paper carefully to avoid it sticking to the Burrito. Remove from the Microwave and allow to stand for 2/3 minutes. Check the Burrito is defrosted and heated completely before eating.
Serve with a big dollop of Ketchup or my favourite Chili and Garlic Ketchup (sold at most Asian food stores).
