Freezer breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs, black beans, cheese and salsa are a warm, filling and delicious breakfast that can be made in advance and reheated as needed. Add extra fillings or toppings and enjoy a stress-free breakfast!
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper (about ¼ teaspoon of each).
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Spray with cooking spray (or use a tablespoon or so of butter) and add the eggs.
Cook the eggs over medium low, stirring occasionally, until just set. Turn off the heat and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients and set up a burrito prep station. Place a tortilla on a plate or paper towel. Add a layer of spinach to the middle, if using, then top with the black beans and eggs, followed by the cheese and salsa.
Wrap up the burrito. You can fold in the sides and then roll it up, as a more traditional burrito, or you can simply fold up the sides, more like a taco. Wrap the burrito in a piece of aluminum foil.
Repeat with the remaining burritos until all the eggs are used up.
Place the foil-wrapped burritos in a large freezer-safe plastic bag that’s been labeled and dated. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Defrost the burritos in the refrigerator overnight then reheat in the oven or remove the foil and reheat in the microwave.
Notes
The recipe below makes 6 burritos but you may be able to get 7, depending on how full you stuff each one.You’ll want to be sure to use a regular sized tortilla - not the huge burrito sized ones.You can choose regular, whole wheat, low-carb, gluten-free or a flavored version like spinach or sun-dried tomato for your tortillas.If you are making these specifically for the freezer, let your eggs cool down a little before you start assembling.If enjoying right away, get everything prepped while the eggs are cooking so you can add those in, top with the cheese (it’ll melt with the heat from the eggs) so you can serve these nice and hot. You can also store a few in the refrigerator, instead of the freezer, after you make them. They'll keep for 2-3 days.Add-ins for breakfast burritos: Cooked, crumbled sausage or bacon; fresh spinach; sautéed or roasted veggies; cooked, shredded hash browns; etc.Topping ideas: Extra salsa or fresh pico de gallo, extra cheese (melt over the top when reheating), avocado slices or guac, Greek yogurt or sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, hot sauce or sriracha, pickled red onions, pickled or fresh jalapeños, etc.
