Description
I absolutely love these breakfast burritos. Creamy scrambled eggs, roasted garlic veggies, smoky cheese, and refried beans all wrapped up in a delicious burrito!
Ingredients
For The Sheet Pan Veggies:
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and cubed (about 2 heaping cups - see notes for using hasbrowns)
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- half of a yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base (optional, but great for flavor)
For The Egg Mixture:
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base (optional, but great for flavor)
For The Burritos:
- 6 large tortillas (more or less depending on size of your tortilla)
- 1 14-ounce can refried black beans
- 7 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
- salsa, or chipotle sauce for dipping (ingredients in notes!)
Instructions
- Veggies: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place potatoes, peppers, and onions on a half sheet pan. Toss with olive oil, salt, and Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base.
- Roast: Roast veggies for 20 minutes; stir, and roast for another 15-20 minutes until potatoes are done and peppers and onions are a little browned.
- Eggs: Turn oven temperature to 350 degrees. Whisk egg mixture; pour directly onto the sheet pan with the veggies. Bake for 7 minutes.
- Bake: Push the eggs gently around on the pan until “scrambled” a bit (they should still be a bit wet). Return to oven for 3-6 minutes until they’re set.
- Burritos: Fill tortillas with the egg mixture, refried beans, smoked gouda cheese, and cilantro. Wrap snugly in the tortilla, and roll it up in foil.
- Store: From here, you can freeze them for up to 3 months, or keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days. See notes for reheating methods! Serve with salsa and/or chipotle sauce.
Options for Reheating:
- Microwave: Unwrap burrito (frozen or thawed) and place on a microwave safe plate. Microwave for 2-3 minutes. I flip it over halfway through to get it heated more evenly.
- Oven: Bake the foil-wrapped burrito at 425 for 30 minutes (25-30 for thawed, 35-40 if still frozen). As long as it’s in the foil, you can just put it directly on an oven rack. I do this while I’m getting ready and then it’s steamy and warmed for me to eat just before I leave!
- Air Fryer or Skillet (for crispiness): Spritz the outside of the burrito with oil and air fry at 350 for 4 minutes. For a skillet, pan fry in a skillet over medium heat with some butter for 2 minutes per side until golden. This can be done with a warmed OR frozen burrito – in either case, it will make the exterior crispy. If you do it with a frozen burrito, you might need to give it an additional 1-2 minutes in the microwave to ensure it’s heated through after crisping.
Notes
Hashbrowns: You can also use frozen hashbrowns (about 2 cups) in place of the potato! Works great! May require an additional 10-15 minutes for roasting because they tend to be wetter.
Amazing Little Chipotle Sauce: Mix 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup mayo, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 clove grated garlic, and 3 tablespoons water. This sauce is so good and will keep in the fridge for 5-7 days.
