Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter , divided
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 3-4 ounces canned chipotle peppers (almost ½ of a 7-ounce can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce.) - I use Goya brand
  • 1 (15-ounce can) black beans , rinsed and drained
  • 8 large eggs , lightly beaten
  • 10 medium-sized tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Cook the Filling: In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add onions, cumin, and salt, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, cook for 30 seconds more, then mix in the chipotle peppers and beans. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • Prepare the Eggs: In another skillet, melt the remaining butter and swirl to coat the pan. Cook the eggs for 4-5 minutes until done. Remove from heat, transfer to a plate, and let them cool slightly.
  • Assemble the Burritos: On a flat surface, lay out the tortillas. Add a spoonful of beans, an equal amount of eggs, 1 tablespoon of cheddar cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon of chopped cilantro to the center of each tortilla.
  • Fold and Store: Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll them up tightly. Wrap each burrito in plastic wrap, place in a large bag, and store for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating Instructions: Unwrap and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes if frozen, or for 60-90 seconds if thawed.

Notes

  • Evenly Cooked Eggs: Cook eggs on low heat to avoid overcooking.
  • Wrap Tightly: Ensure burritos are wrapped tightly to hold all ingredients.
  • Freezing Method: Wrap each burrito individually in foil or plastic wrap for easy reheating.
  • Reheating Instructions: Microwave from frozen, removing any foil, for a quick and easy meal.
