Hearty Breakfast Burrito

Nutrition is one of the most accessible forms of preventive medicine. For healthy habits to endure, they must remain simple, adaptable, and realistic for our busy schedules.

Our Hearty Breakfast Burrito is thoughtfully created to reinforce your foundation of Body, Mind, and Spirit. While perfect for starting the day, its nutrient density also makes it an excellent choice for a quick, restorative dinner.

It provides balanced macronutrients to avoid energy crashes. Whole-wheat tortillas paired with fiber-rich black beans deliver complex carbohydrates that release energy gradually and steadily. High-quality protein from eggs or egg whites supplies essential amino acids needed for tissue repair, metabolic function, and overall vitality. Fresh avocado contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that support both cognitive clarity and cardiovascular wellness.

It’s simple, satisfying, and effective. Give it a try this month to nourish your whole-person health.

This recipe is designed for “batch cooking,” a proactive strategy that empowers you to have high-quality meals ready even on your most demanding days.

Servings: 4 – 6 Burritos

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs (scrambled)
• 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup fresh spinach or sautéed bell peppers
• 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 4–6 whole-wheat tortillas
• Optional: Fresh salsa, avocado, or Greek yogurt (as a high-protein substitute for sour cream)

Instructions

Step One: Scramble

Softly scramble the eggs in a non-stick skillet. If you are focused on heart health, consider using a ratio of two egg whites to every one whole egg.

Step Two: Assemble

Layer the eggs, beans, cheese, and vegetables in the center of each tortilla.

Step Three: Fold

Tuck in the sides and roll tightly to ensure the filling is secure.

Step Four: Sear (Optional)

Place the folded burrito seam-side down on a hot skillet for 1 minute to create a crisp seal.

Tip

One of the greatest barriers to healthy eating is a lack of time. These burritos are “freezer-friendly.” Wrap individual burritos in parchment paper or foil and store them in a freezer-safe bag. When you are short on time, simply reheat for a meal that supports your wellness goals without the complexity of starting from scratch.
