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. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt.

  2. 2

    Heat a nonstick pan over low to medium heat and grease with oil or butter.

  3. 3

    Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently until almost scrambled, about 2 minutes.

  4. 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. 5

    Warm each tortilla in a dry pan or microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.

  6. 6

    Spoon the filling down the center of each tortilla, fold in the sides, and roll tightly from the bottom up.

  7. 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.

  8. 8

    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.

  10. 10

    Oven: bake foil-wrapped at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes.

  11. 11

    Air Fryer: remove foil and heat at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes. This is my favorite method.

  12. 12

    Microwave: remove foil, wrap in a damp paper towel, defrost for 5 minutes, then cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes.
