From the freezer to your plate, these make-ahead bean burritos are an eggcellent choice for hungry tummies on busy mornings!
Ingredients
540-mL can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp cumin
250 g fresh chorizo sausages, casings removed
2 red bell peppers, cored and finely chopped
8 eggs, lightly beaten
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp coarsely chopped cilantro
8 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar
salsa, (optional)
Instructions
Mash beans with lime juice and cumin in a medium bowl.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high and cook sausages, using a fork to break up, until no pink remains, about 5 min. Add peppers for last 3 min of cooking and reduce heat to medium-low.
Whisk eggs with green onions in a large bowl. Pour into pan with sausage and cook, continuously stirring with a spatula, until soft curds form, 12 to 15 min. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro.
Arrange tortillas on a clean work surface. Spoon a portion of bean mixture onto the bottom third of each tortilla, then top with egg mixture and cheese. Add salsa, if desired. Fold ends over mixture and roll to enclose filling.
Wipe pan clean and heat to medium-high. Place burritos, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden and slightly crisp, 1 to 2 min per side.
