How to make Southwest Black Bean Breakfast Burritos
- Heat oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell pepper and the white parts of the green onions; cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
- Whisk eggs with cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble gently until just set; remove from heat while the eggs still look slightly glossy.
- Warm tortillas so they fold without tearing. Layer each with eggs, black beans, cheddar, salsa, and the green parts of the onions.
- Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos. For crisp burritos, place seam-side down in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately, or wrap cooled burritos in foil and refrigerate/freezer for meal prep. Reheat until the center is hot.
