Keep these breakfast burritos in the freezer for a quick, filling, and nutritious breakfast! 20g of protein in each burrito!

When a baby is born everyone thinks of doting on the mother and the baby.. but what about the dad?

It’s the mom who’s checked in at the hospital so she gets the comfy bed and meal service. The dad gets a little fold out chair to sleep on (if he’s lucky).

The baby is closely monitored to make sure he or she is eating well.

But who’s making sure the dad gets something to eat?

The day before my latest niece was born I had made a batch of these burritos. When we went to visit them in the hospital I grabbed a couple of them for my brother-in-law. Apparently he was more famished than I realized because he was thrilled and delighted with them.

Keep these breakfast burritos in the freezer for a quick, filling, and nutritious breakfast! 

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp canola oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 red pepper chopped 
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup salsa *see note
  • 8 slices cheese
  • 8 whole grain wraps

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a medium frying pan.
  • Peel and dice the onion. Remove the core from the red pepper and dice.
  • Saute the onion and red pepper until soft.
  • Remove to a bowl.
  • Place the eggs,  salt, and milk in a blender. Turn on low then slowly up to high.
  • Blend for 30 seconds. Pour eggs in pan and scrambled fry until cooked.
  • Place 1/4 cup egg mixture, 3 tbsp red pepper mixture, 2 tbsp black beans, 2 tbsp salsa, and 1 slice of cheese in each of the 8 wraps.
  • Fold burrito style.
  • Wrap each burrito in aluminum foil (if you plan on reheating in oven) or plastic wrap (if you plan on reheating in microwave).
  • Place in a plastic zip bag and freeze.

Notes

To make the burritos less “juicy” and drippy, strain some of the liquid from the salsa by placing it in a fine mesh colander. Then use the thickened salsa to fill the burritos.

    These are delicious. I don’t like the black beans so just left them out. They are great for a quick lunch or dinner as well

    THANK YOU SO MUCH…. this recipe is amazing. Delicious, great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you had giving an estimates for oven temp and time to reheat, I would have given this five stars.
