Instructions
- If you like, wrap your tortillas in foil and put them in a 300°f oven to warm as you make your filling.
- In a heavy skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat.
- Sauté the onion and potato for about 5 minutes, until soft and starting to turn golden.
- Add the beans, salsa, chili powder, and salt and pepper and cook for a few more minutes, slightly smushing some of the beans with the back of your spoon, until heated through.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl or push it aside in the skillet, add a little more oil, and crack in the eggs.
- Stir the eggs around with a spoon or spatula to scramble them.
- Divide the bean mixture among the warmed tortillas, spreading it down the middle and leaving space on the sides and at both ends.
- Top with scrambled egg, cheese, avocado or guacamole, and some fresh cilantro (if using).
- Fold over one long side to cover, fold over both short ends, then roll the whole thing over to close up into a package.
- Serve warm, with extra salsa and/or sour cream.
Spicy black bean and scrambled egg burritos aren’t just for breakfast— these can be repurposed for a fast, inexpensive dinner, too. Chopped red pepper or corn would go well in these, as would a crumbled chorizo sausage, sautéed along with the onion. Wrapped up in its own package, a burrito makes a great meal to go.
