Black Bean Breakfast Burritos
 |
Everyone knows that breakfast for dinner is a guaranteed “go-to” meal on a busy day. Right? Tell me I’m not alone in this. It seems like fairly common knowledge. You pretty much always have eggs in the kitchen. Well, unless you’re Vegan.
Unlike, Julia Roberts’ character in Runaway Bride, I know exactly how I like my eggs. Or rather, I know what I don’t like. I am not a fan of over easy or fried eggs. I like hard boiled if they are chopped up on salad, but only if the yolk is completely done. I am not a fan of runny, so scrambled is pretty much how I like to go. Scrambled and topped with salsa, cilantro, and feta. Yes, that is how I like them best. (Is it me, or did that last one sound like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. That seems to be all we read to Madeline these days. Anyway…)
p.s. We ate Black Bean Breakfast Burritos twice for dinner this week.
Black Bean Breakfast Burritos
a goodLife {eats} creation
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, rinsed and chopped
- 1 – 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 avocado, diced
- salsa, your choice of heat
- 6 soft taco sized flour tortillas, warmed
Combine the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Hand beat the eggs using a whisk or fork until yolk and white are evenly mixed and the eggs are frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
Grease a nonstick saute pan and set it over medium-high heat. Add eggs to the pan. After the eggs begin to set, gently move them around in the pan with a spatula or wooded spoon. Move the eggs to the center while tilting your pan to redistribute the unset parts.
Break apart large pieces with your spoon or spatula. Turn the eggs as needed until the are cooked through. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
To assemble the burrito: divide the egg and black bean evenly among the tortillas. Garnish each burrito with feta, avocado, and salsa. Top with additional cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.

Your burritos look better than restaurant burritos. I love a good burrito, and while I don't like veggies, I love veggies burritos!

One of my favorite things to eat. Lovely photos

I think that my husband would love these and might be a good on-the-go breakfast for him. Thanks for sharing.

These sound so wonderful! My husband is anti-vegetables or beans in his eggs, so I'll have to make him meat-cheese-egg breakfast burritos, but these would be ALL MINE! Yum.

I can't do savory for breakfast, I usually stick with oatmeal, but I will have to make this for dinner! Love it!

Breakfast for dinner is the best! We did it last night with a leek frittata, a side of green beans and a slice of bread. I like the addition of feta to this instead of a heavier hard cheese.

Oh gosh, those look fab!

These look amazing! Definitely going to try. I'm with you, I like scrambled eggs. The runny stuff…not so much. And I also agree that breakfast for dinner is great, but that sometimes it does need to be a little more savory. That's why I'm excited to try this one.

I'm really not a breakfast eater (I know, I know) but these look totally delicious and so healthy. Maybe they can become dinner "breakfast" burritos at my house.

These look fantastic and easy for a quick weeknight dinner. Thanks!
[Reply]
These look great for any time of day!! Can't wait to give them a try!
[Reply]
Oh, these look fabulous! Such the perfect way to start the day!

"Brinner" is my favorite thing to make! And these are perfect because my husband isn't too fond of things like pancakes for dinner…but burritos will work perfectly! Nice photos, too!
[Reply]
I can see why you had them twice! They look very tempting…

I had this bookmarked for a while and finally tried it. Very yummy! Too bad no one else in my family would eat it.
My daughter did eat the beans and eggs separately though.

I just whipped these up for dinner after about a week of eyeing them… and they were a bit of a faith plunge for me. Your photos made them look fabulous, but the combination of flavors left me clueless about what to expect. How are eggs and avocado *supposed* to taste together? Would I regret this? The answer left me speechless (mostly becasue my mouth was full of burrito deliciousness! Nursing mom's rights – I ate 4 mini-burritos
) Left out the feta since I'm allergic but was still pleased with the flavor. I wasn't expecting a burrito taste, but it was deliciously burrito-y and filling. Thanks for the culinary adventure, Katie!=

I wouldn't mind these for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Yum! I’ll be making these this weekend, they look so good! Plus I already have all the ingredients:) Thanks for a fab recipe!
