Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s the gear for your culinary masterpiece:

2 large eggs – the OG breakfast protein.
1 whole wheat tortilla – because adulting.
¼ cup black beans – fiber power!
¼ cup diced bell peppers – rainbow vibes optional but recommended.
¼ cup spinach – sneaky greens.
2 tbsp shredded cheese – cheddar, pepper jack, whatever makes your heart sing.
1 tsp olive oil – for non-stick magic.
Salt & pepper – the dynamic duo.
Optional extras: salsa, avocado slices, hot sauce, or literally anything else you want because this is your burrito, boss.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep your battlefield. Chop bell peppers, wash spinach, and get your beans ready. Nothing’s worse than scrambling eggs with a messy counter.
Heat things up. Toss the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Watch it shimmer it’s basically a signal that you’re about to become a breakfast legend.
Veggie time. Sauté bell peppers (and any other veggies you want) for 3–4 minutes until soft. Throw in spinach at the last minute. It wilts faster than your motivation on Monday.
Egg-cellent adventure. Crack your eggs into a bowl, whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet with the veggies, and scramble like your life depends on it.
Bean there, done that. Add black beans to the pan and mix. Heat them through, but don’t overcook—nobody likes sad, dry beans.
Cheese it up. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and let it melt while you prep your tortilla. Yes, watching cheese melt is a valid life joy.
Wrap it like a pro. Place the egg-veggie-bean-cheese mixture on the tortilla, fold the sides in, roll it up tight, and bask in your burrito glory.
Optional finishing touch. For a golden exterior, give the rolled burrito a quick sear on the skillet for 1–2 minutes per side. Crispy edges = heaven.
Eat & repeat. Grab, bite, smile, maybe text a friend to brag. You just made a breakfast burrito that’s both healthy and heroic.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Skipping the veggie sauté. Raw peppers are okay, but not burrito-level okay.
Overcrowding the skillet. Don’t dump all ingredients at once. Give them space to mingle.
Rolling too soon. Cheese needs time to melt; otherwise, your burrito falls apart mid-bite.
Neglecting seasoning. Eggs without salt = sad eggs. Don’t be that person.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Tortilla: Low-carb, spinach, or gluten-free? Go nuts.
Eggs: Swap for tofu scramble if you’re vegan. Trust me, it’s surprisingly good.
Cheese: Any kind works go with your flavor mood.
Beans: Black beans, pinto beans, chickpeas all friends here.
Extras: Salsa, avocado, hot sauce, leftover roasted veggies, bacon (if you feel naughty). Seriously, personalize it.
