Instructions

Creating your High Protein Freezer Breakfast Burrito can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Dice the bell peppers and onions, and chop the spinach or kale.
2. Cook Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and onions, sautéing until they become soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
3. Cook Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with vegetables. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the eggs are fully scrambled and set, approximately 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Black Beans and Cheese: Stir in the black beans and shredded cheese. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese melts. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
5. Assemble Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous amount of the egg mixture in the center. Fold in the sides and roll from the bottom, tightly wrapping the filling. Repeat until all filling is used.
6. Wrap for Freezing: Wrap each burrito individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn.
7. Store in Freezer: Place all wrapped burritos in a labeled freezer bag or container. They can be stored for up to three months.
8. Cooking Frozen Burritos: When ready, unwrap a burrito, place it on a microwave-safe plate, and heat it for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes.

Follow these steps, and you’ll have high-protein breakfast burritos ready to enjoy!
