Black Bean Breakfast Burrito
This black bean breakfast burrito has simple ingredients that can easily be found at a local supermarket. It’s a perfect, flavorful breakfast to start the day. It’s also high on protein and healthy fat, and very easy to assemble, too. You can even prepare it in advance, freeze it for up to four months, then simply toast it when you’re ready to have it.
Spanish inspired black beans might conjure up a ‘spicy’ impression. But worry not! We’ll be using only light seasonings and no spices besides a pinch of black pepper. We will also sauté a little jalapeño with onions. However, this adds only a mild flavor, and you can skip it if you prefer. You can easily pair this burrito with pico de gallo, guacamole, and/or lime rice. And you can use gluten-free tortillas to make the recipe gluten-free.
We are first going to sauté onion and jalapeño for five minutes. Then we’ll stir in black beans and seasonings. We’ll also mash avocado with some light seasoning to add extra flavor and texture to this amazing breakfast burrito. And that’s it!
