Description

Healthy Breakfast Burritos filled with nutritious veggies and scrambled eggs, perfect for meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 10 eggs, or 5 eggs and 5 egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup reduced fat shredded Mexican or Colby Jack cheese
  • 12 tablespoons chopped green chiles, optional
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 whole wheat tortillas
  • Toppings: salsa, avocado, hot sauce, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the sweet potatoes, bell pepper, red onion, zucchini, olive oil, and spices to a large mixing bowl. Toss and then spread on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until tender.
  2. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, and green chiles (if using). Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Scramble the eggs and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Assemble burritos – divide the potato mixture, black beans, eggs, and toppings evenly between all the tortillas. Wrap tightly. Serve immediately or freeze for later.
  4. To freeze, wrap tightly in aluminum foil and then place in a Ziploc bag in the freezer. Burritos will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, remove the foil and microwave for 1-3 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat in the oven.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize with your favorite veggies or toppings.
  • These burritos are great for quick breakfasts throughout the week.
  • For a spicier version, add jalapenos or hot sauce.
