Delicious high protein breakfast burritos recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Eggs, 6 large
  • Cooked Chicken Breast, 1 cup diced
  • Black Beans, 1/2 cup rinsed
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese, 1/2 cup
  • Salsa, 1/4 cup
  • Whole Wheat Tortillas, 4 large
  • Olive Oil, 1 tablespoon
  • Green Bell Pepper, 1/2 diced

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced green bell pepper and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Whisk the eggs in a bowl and pour them into the skillet. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through but still slightly moist.
  3. Step 3: Add the diced cooked chicken breast and black beans to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir to combine and heat through.
  4. Step 4: Warm the tortillas according to package directions.
  5. Step 5: Divide the egg mixture evenly among the warmed tortillas. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and salsa.
  6. Step 6: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For longer storage, wrap cooled burritos individually in plastic wrap and then foil before freezing for up to 3 months.
  • To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes or bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
  • Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for extra protein and creaminess.
  • Don't overcook the eggs – slightly moist eggs prevent a dry burrito later on!
