Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs – Packed with protein and healthy fats, eggs are a breakfast staple. They’ll help you stay full longer and provide that delicious fluffy texture for the burrito filling.
- 4 whole wheat tortillas – These burritos are healthier than most, thanks to the whole wheat tortillas. You can opt for regular tortillas if you prefer, but whole wheat adds fiber and extra nutrients.
- 1 cup cooked black beans – Beans are a great source of plant-based protein, and they bring fiber to the table, which helps keep you full and satisfied.
- 4 slices turkey bacon – A leaner alternative to regular bacon, turkey bacon adds that smoky, crispy flavor that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.
- 1/2 avocado, diced – Avocado brings creaminess and healthy fats to the burrito, making each bite even more satisfying.
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) – This gives the burrito a gooey, melty texture that complements the other ingredients perfectly.
- 1/2 cup salsa (optional) – Fresh salsa adds some tangy flavor and a kick of heat. You can either buy some or make your own by combining diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
- Salt and pepper to taste – Don’t forget to season your eggs and other ingredients for the perfect balance of flavors!
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh cilantro – For a burst of flavor and color, cilantro adds a fresh taste.
- Hot sauce or salsa verde – If you love spice, this is your chance to kick it up a notch.
- Lime wedges – A squeeze of lime right before you eat adds a zesty punch to the burrito.
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Turkey Bacon Start by cooking the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat. It will only take a few minutes on each side for it to get crispy. Once it’s done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess grease. Once cooled, chop it into small pieces and set aside.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs While the bacon is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then pour in the eggs. Scramble them gently, stirring occasionally, until they’re fully cooked but still soft and moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas To warm the tortillas, place them in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side. This will make them pliable and prevent them from tearing when you roll them up. You can also microwave them for 20-30 seconds if that’s easier!
Step 4: Assemble the Burritos Now comes the fun part—assembly! Take each tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Start by adding a generous spoonful of scrambled eggs in the center of each tortilla. Next, sprinkle in the cooked black beans, turkey bacon pieces, and shredded cheese. Add a few slices of avocado and a spoonful of salsa (if using) on top.
Step 5: Wrap It Up To wrap the burrito, fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the fillings inside. Be sure to wrap it tightly so that it holds together.
Step 6: Toast the Burritos (Optional) For an extra crispy touch, place the burritos back in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. This step is totally optional but adds a great crunch to the outside of the burrito.
