Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 lb ground turkey, ground chicken, or lean ground beef
1 small bell pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 packet taco seasoning (~3 tbsp)
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed (or pinto beans)
1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
6 eggs
¾ cup salsa
Salt and black pepper, to taste
6 burrito-sized tortillas (whole wheat, spinach, sundried tomato, or low-carb)
Optional toppings: Fresh avocado or guacamole, Greek yogurt or sour cream, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, diced tomato, jalapeños
Instructions
- Heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Add the ground turkey (or chosen protein), breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 8–10 minutes until fully cooked.
- Stir in beans and taco seasoning, cooking 1–2 more minutes. Remove from heat and mix in ½ cup shredded cheese. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
- Wipe out the skillet, return to medium heat with remaining ½ tbsp olive oil. Crack eggs into the skillet and scramble for 2–3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from heat.
- Assemble burritos: Place ¾ cup of the meat mixture in the center of each tortilla, top with 1 scrambled egg, 2 tbsp salsa, and remaining cheese. Add optional toppings as desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom over the filling, keeping edges tucked in tightly.
Notes
- Swap protein: Ground chicken, lean beef, tofu, or plant-based crumbles work well.
- Cheese options: Cheddar, Mexican blend, pepper jack, or taco-seasoned cheese.
- Veggie add-ins: Spinach, kale, mushrooms, or zucchini can be sautéed with beans and protein.
- Adjust spice: Use mild, medium, or spicy salsa or taco seasoning. Add hot sauce or chili flakes for extra heat.
- Breakfast bowls: Skip tortillas and serve over hashbrowns or roasted potatoes for a low-carb version.
