Instructions
PREPARE THE INGREDIENTS
Start by preparing all the ingredients for easy assembly. Dice the tomatoes and red onion into small, even pieces. Slice the avocado and jalapeño thinly. Chop the fresh cilantro finely and drain the black beans, rinsing them thoroughly under cold water. Measure out the cooked brown rice and shred the cheese if it’s not pre-shredded. Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with salt and pepper, whisking until fully combined.
Tip: Keep all prepped ingredients in small bowls or plates nearby to make the cooking and assembly process seamless.
COOK THE EGGS
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to coat the pan lightly. Pour in the whisked eggs and allow them to cook undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until the edges begin to set. Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs by pushing them from the edges toward the center, creating soft, fluffy curds. Cook until just set but still slightly glossy, then remove from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Tip: To achieve creamy scrambled eggs, cook on medium-low heat and remove them from the pan just before they are fully cooked, as they will continue cooking slightly off the heat.
HEAT THE TORTILLAS
Wipe out the skillet and return it to medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet and warm it for about 20 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Repeat for all tortillas, stacking them and covering them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Tip: Warming the tortillas prevents cracking when you fold them and enhances their flavor.
ASSEMBLE THE BURRITOS
Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate. Start by spreading a small scoop of cooked brown rice in a line down the center. Add a spoonful of black beans, followed by the scrambled eggs. Top with diced tomatoes, red onions, avocado slices and jalapeño slices. Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheese and fresh cilantro over the top. Add a spoonful of salsa for extra flavor.
Tip: Avoid overfilling the burrito to make it easier to wrap securely without tearing the tortilla.
WRAP THE BURRITOS
Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, ensuring the filling is enclosed completely. Place the wrapped burritos seam-side down to help them stay closed.
SERVE THE BURRITOS
Serve the burritos warm, with extra salsa, sour cream or hot sauce on the side if desired. Slice the burrito in half diagonally for easier handling and a visually appealing presentation.
Tip: For a crispy texture, you can lightly sear the wrapped burritos in a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side before serving.
