Ingredients

Meat

  • 0.5 lb ground breakfast sausage
  • 1 pcs poblano pepper, seeded and diced
  • 12 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 2 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 6 large burrito-sized tortillas (Siete grain-free or flour tortillas)
  • 6-8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
  • 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed

Optional toppings

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) if baking immediately.
  • Cook sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate, leaving about 1 tbsp fat.
  • Add diced poblano peppers to the same skillet; cook 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Pour in whisked eggs, add salt and pepper; cook 1-2 minutes until just starting to set. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
  • Warm tortillas briefly. Layer cheese, black beans, eggs, and sausage on each. Fold and roll into burritos, then wrap in foil.
  • For immediate serving, bake wrapped burritos at 425°F for 8-10 minutes. For freezing, store in freezer-safe bags and bake from frozen for 20 minutes or microwave for 2 minutes.

Notes

For best texture, bake directly from frozen for meal prep.
