MAKES: 4 servings

TIME: 20 minutes with cooked beans

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups Real Refried Beans, Chili non Carne, or plain cooked or canned pinto or black beans
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 6 eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup crumbled fresh cheese or queso fresco or grated cheddar or Jack cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Warm the beans or chili in a small pot over low heat, stirring occasionally. Keep them warm until ready to use.
2. To warm the tortillas, you have two options:

   Wrap them in foil and place them in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes or stack them between two damp paper towels and microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.

3. In a medium skillet, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
4. Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl, then add them to the skillet with the melted butter or oil. Cook the eggs, stirring frequently and scraping the sides of the pan, until they are cooked to your desired consistency. This process should take just a few minutes.
5. Once the eggs are almost done, remove the skillet from the heat. Assemble the burritos by spreading the cheese evenly over each tortilla. Top the cheese with approximately 1/2 cup of warm beans. Add the cooked eggs and any additional fillings, sauces, or garnishes of your choice.
6. Roll up the burritos tightly.
7. Serve the breakfast burritos immediately and enjoy the warm and flavorful combination of ingredients.

TIPS:

• Customize your burritos: Feel free to add various fillings and toppings to your breakfast burritos. Consider adding salsa, chopped fresh tomatoes, cilantro, black olives, sliced scallions, chopped chiles, avocado slices, and cooked chorizo, bacon, sausage, or ground meat. You can also include Crisp Panfried Potatoes for added texture and flavor.
• Make-ahead and reheating: You can prepare a larger batch of burritos and freeze them for future consumption. Wrap the burritos well in plastic or foil, and store them in the freezer. When ready to eat, reheat the foil-wrapped burritos in a 350°F oven for approximately 20 minutes. Alternatively, remove the wrapping, place each burrito on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a paper towel, and reheat in the microwave for a couple of minutes.

By following these instructions and tips, you can create delicious and customizable breakfast burritos that can be enjoyed fresh or reheated for a quick and satisfying meal.

Feel free to experiment with different fillings, toppings, and sauces to create your perfect breakfast combination. Whether you prefer a vegetarian version with beans and cheese or want to add meats and vegetables, breakfast burritos can be customized to suit your taste. Enjoy the flavors and convenience of this satisfying breakfast option!
