BREAKFAST BURRITOS



Breakfast Burritos image

A delightful breakfast, these burritos filled with soft scrambled eggs, scallion-flecked refried beans and buttery avocado slices are also great any time of the day. Cilantro adds freshness, and a few drops of your favorite hot sauce will deliver a nice zing. The nontraditional open-ended rolling technique used here will tightly encase the filling in the smaller-sized tortillas while ensuring the optimal tortilla-to-stuffing ratio. To seal completely, wrap each tortilla in a strip of foil and twist both ends. For convenience, the little wraps can be made ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator or freezer and reheated in an oven.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 medium (soft taco-sized) flour tortillas
5 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely grated (1 1/4 cups)
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed or canola
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup refried black beans (from a 16-ounce can)
6 large eggs, beaten
Kosher salt
Hot sauce, for drizzling (optional)
1 small ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Heat broiler to high and line two sheet pans with foil.
  • Place the tortillas on the sheet pans. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the tortillas. Broil, one pan at a time, until the cheese is just beginning to melt, about 20 seconds.
  • In a medium nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add the scallions and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the refried beans, stir to combine and cook until the beans are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Divide the beans among the tortillas, spooning in even lines down the centers.
  • Wipe out the skillet and set over to medium-low heat. Pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, add the whisked eggs and season lightly with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, about 3 minutes. Divide the eggs evenly among the tortillas, in lines over the beans. Drizzle on hot sauce, if using.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs and top with avocado and cilantro. To roll, fold one side over the filling to enclose it, then tightly roll away from you, leaving the ends open. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Reheat in a 400-degree oven or toaster oven until warm, about 8 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Look for tortillas that are soft and pliable, not too thick or too thin. Corn or flour tortillas can be used, depending on your preference.
  • Scramble your eggs ahead of time. This will save you time in the morning and help you get your breakfast burritos on the table faster.
  • Cook your fillings thoroughly. This will help to prevent foodborne illness and ensure that your breakfast burritos are safe to eat.
  • Don't overload your burritos. Too much filling will make them difficult to wrap and eat.
  • Wrap your burritos tightly. This will help to keep the fillings inside and prevent them from falling out.
  • Serve your breakfast burritos with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Breakfast burritos are a delicious and versatile way to start your day. They can be made with a variety of fillings, so you can customize them to your own taste. Whether you like them simple or loaded with toppings, breakfast burritos are a surefire way to satisfy your hunger and get your day off to a great start. So, next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give breakfast burritos a try.
