Ingredients you will need
- large eggs– You can use more eggs if you need to serve more people or to make this a meal plan recipe and eat this breakfast bowl for two to three days.
- Black beans from the can are okay, but if you want to plan you can boil your own homemade. I love homemade black beans. Black beans are great in this breakfast burrito and add protein and fiber.
- Avocado adds so much flavor and nutrition to this recipe from healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals to fiber. Choose a ripe avocado that just gives slightly when pressed with a finger.
- Salsa (homemade or store-bought, no added sugar). Add some zest and flavor to your breakfast burrito by adding some salsa on top.
- Garlic powder – adds some depth of flavor to the beans and the whole bowl.
- Cumin is so important in this recipe. I love its earthy complex mildly spicy flavor that is perfect in any bean recipe.
- Chili powder and cumin go hand in hand and elevate the flavor of this burrito bowl.
- Salt & black pepper to taste- is a given. No food tastes good enough without salt and pepper. These just complete the meal flavor profile.
- Olive oil or butter for scrambling the eggs. Choose either.
- Optional toppings: fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, hot sauce, a dollop of sour cream. For me, cilantro is not optional but some people hate so if you do, use parsley for garnish or leave it out.
Instructions
- Scramble the eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour them into the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just set. Remove from heat.
- Warm the black beans: In a small saucepan (or microwave), warm the black beans with garlic powder, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Assemble the bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the black beans as the base. Add the scrambled eggs, sliced avocado, and salsa on top.
- Finish with toppings: Garnish with cilantro, cheese, Greek yogurt, or hot sauce if desired.
- Enjoy your breakfast burrito bowl as is straight from a bowl or make a burrito with warmed tortillas. However, if you want to keep the carbs on the low, leave the tortillas or use a low-carb tortilla instead.
Variations & Substitutions
- Swap black beans for pinto beans, chickpeas, or cooked lentils for variety.
- Add sautéed veggies like bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra nutrients.
- Use tofu scramble instead of eggs for a different protein source.
- Use a tortillas to wrap this up and make it a real breakfast burrito.
- Add pepper flakes, sliced pickled jalapenos, fresh jalapenos, or other spicy peppers.
Storage Tips
- Make ahead: You can prep the beans and eggs in advance and store them separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm everything in the microwave for 30-60 seconds before assembling your bowl. Add fresh avocado and salsa right before serving.
