Scalable Ingredient Table

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables – Dice the bell peppers and onion. Chop the fresh spinach.

2. Cook the Vegetables – Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding a small drizzle of olive oil or cooking spray. Sauté the bell peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until softened.

3. Add the Spinach – Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted.

4. Scramble the Eggs – In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Pour them into the skillet with the veggies, scrambling until fully cooked and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).

5. Add Black Beans & Cheese – Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the black beans and half of the shredded cheese. Mix well.

6. Assemble the Burritos – Lay out the tortillas. Divide the egg mixture evenly between them. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

7. Roll the Burritos – Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to secure the filling.

8. Serve & Enjoy – Eat fresh or wrap in foil for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.

Tips for the Best Breakfast Burrito

• For extra protein, add cooked turkey sausage or tofu crumbles.

• To make it spicy, add diced jalapeños or drizzle with hot sauce.

• For a crispy texture, toast the burrito in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes per side.

• Make it ahead! Wrap in foil and store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
