Make Ahead Breakfast Burritos

Easy, protein-packed breakfast burritos made with scrambled eggs, beans, salsa, and melty cheese. Make a big batch and freeze for busy school mornings. Ready in 20 minutes and kid-approved.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup mozzarella or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 1/2 cups cooked pinto or black beans (rinsed and drained if canned)
- 1 cup salsa
- Oil or butter (for the pan)
- Cooking spray (for the skillet)
- 8 twelve-inch flour tortillas
Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt.
- 2
Heat a nonstick pan over low to medium heat and grease with oil or butter.
- 3
Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently until almost scrambled, about 2 minutes.
- 4
Add the beans and salsa and cook for 2 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted.
- 5
Warm each tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.
- 6
Spoon the filling down the center of each tortilla, fold in the sides, and roll tightly from the bottom up.
- 7
Heat a large nonstick skillet sprayed with cooking spray over medium heat. Add 2 burritos at a time, seam side down, and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining burritos.

Serve immediately, or if making ahead, let cool completely, wrap each burrito tightly in foil, and store in a freezer-safe bag labeled with the date. Freeze for up to 3 months or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
