Chef's Note
For best results when freezing, let the filling cool completely before assembling the burritos to prevent soggy tortillas. You can customize these burritos with your favorite fillings - try adding hash browns, different cheeses, or roasted vegetables. For a spicier version, mix some chopped jalapeños into the egg mixture.

Ingredients
8 whole large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium, diced red bell pepper
3 thinly sliced green onions
8 ounces, removed from casing breakfast sausage
1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed black beans
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
5 10-inch large flour tortillas
1/4 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
1 medium, sliced avocado

Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together 8 eggs, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- 2
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- 3
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- 4
Add the sliced green onions to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
- 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are just set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
- 6
Stir in the drained black beans and heat through for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- 7
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- 8
To assemble each burrito, place a tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon about 1/5 of the egg mixture in the center of the tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and a spoonful of salsa.
- 9
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.

To store for later: Wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil or parchment paper, then place in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

To reheat from refrigerated: Unwrap burrito and microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through, or heat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes.

To reheat from frozen: Unwrap burrito and microwave for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through, or heat in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes.
