Chef's Note
For meal prep, make the avocado salsa fresh each morning, but prepare and wrap the burritos the night before. You can also freeze assembled burritos (without the salsa) for up to a month - just wrap individually in foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes.

Instructions
- 1
Prepare the avocado salsa by combining 2 diced avocados, 2 diced roma tomatoes, juice of 1 lime, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño (if using), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. Gently mix and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 diced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Add 1 diced red bell pepper and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.

Add 1 can of drained black beans, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Whisk 8 eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.

Warm the 4 whole grain tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.

To assemble each burrito, place a tortilla on a flat surface and add 1/4 of the egg mixture in the center. Top with 1/4 of the bean mixture and 1/4 cup shredded cheese.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly to form a burrito.

Serve each burrito with a generous portion of avocado salsa on top or on the side.
