The meal that I enjoy cooking least is breakfast. All I want to do in the morning is hover over my coffee until it kicks in. These burritos take about an hour to make and 2 minutes to reheat in the microwave. They also come out to about $1 a piece and are probably more nutrition than your typical Wawa breakfast sandwich. It takes a few tries to successfully roll up the burrito. I’d watch a youtube video before you attempt it and just accept the fact that if you’ve never rolled one before you will probably destroy some/break them open before you get one properly rolled.
Ingredients
20 eggs (or at least one egg per burrito)
20 small tortillas, warmed for easier rolling
2 red peppers, chopped
2 onions, chopped
3-4 medium potatoes, chopped into small pieces (about 3 cups)
½ cup milk
3+ heads over garlic, mined
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
8 oz bag of sharp cheddar cheese
½ tsp each smoked paprika, ancho chile powder, salt
few dashes of cayenne pepper
pepper to taste
What To Do
Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain. This doesn’t seem like a long time but when you microwave the burritos they will cook through more.
Heat a Tbsp of olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper and onion and cook for about 10 minutes minutes. Add the garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant then the spices and the cooked potatoes. Cook over medium-low heat until the flavors are combined. Remove from heat. Add black beans to mixture.
In a medium bowl whisk the eggs together with the milk, salt, and pepper. Heat another teaspoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring to scramble, until just cooked through. Remove from heat immediately. Do not overcook.
Top each tortilla with the potato mixture, eggs, and sprinkle with cheese. Roll up into a burrito and wrap in saran wrap then in a big freezer bag. Repeat with all the tortillas. Freeze the burritos until frozen.
To reheat, wrap the burrito in a paper towel and place on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for 2 minutes, or until warmed through.
Notes for next time:
Add sauteed mushrooms and broccoli and less potatoes.
