Description

A hearty, flavorful breakfast burrito packed with roasted potatoes, scrambled eggs, veggies, and avocado. Easy to customize and perfect for a satisfying morning meal.


Ingredients

1 lb small yellow potatoes, cut into ½‑inch pieces

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

½ tsp smoked paprika

Pinches of red pepper flakes

1 red bell pepper

1 cup fresh spinach

½ cup shredded red cabbage (optional)

3 (12-inch) tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free)

9 scrambled eggs

¾ cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed

½ cup pico de gallo

1 ripe avocado, sliced

½ cup fresh cilantro leaves

1 lime, for squeezing

Cilantro Lime Dressing, for dipping (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Spread on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. Char the red pepper on a grill pan or in the oven until blackened, about 4–5 minutes per side. Cool, then slice into strips.
  4. Scramble the eggs in a pan until just set, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Divide spinach (and red cabbage, if using) among tortillas. Add eggs, pepper strips, black beans, pico de gallo, potatoes, avocado, cilantro, and lime juice.
  6. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom. Wrap in foil.
  7. Slice in half if desired and serve with Cilantro Lime Dressing.

Notes

  • Cool fillings slightly before assembling to prevent soggy tortillas.
  • For a vegan version, use tofu scramble and vegan cheese.
  • Wrap and freeze for up to 2 months for easy meal prep.
