Let’s Make it together

Gather your apron and let’s dive into this culinary adventure of creating Breakfast Burrito Bowls!

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by chopping bell peppers and onions into bite-sized pieces. Rinse black beans thoroughly under cold water and set aside.

Sauté the Veggies: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and toss in chopped onions and bell peppers. Cook until they soften and become aromatic, about 5-7 minutes.

Scramble Those Eggs!: Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and crack a few eggs into the other side. Scramble until they’re fluffy and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Black Beans: Mix the black beans into the skillet with veggies and eggs. Stir everything together until heated through—this should take about 2 minutes.

Assemble Your Bowls: In serving bowls, layer your egg mixture generously. Top each bowl with avocado slices, salsa, cilantro, cheese if using, and crushed tortilla chips for that extra crunch!
