Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup bell peppers diced (~2 bell peppers)
  • ½ cup red onion diced (~1 small onion)
  • ½ cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) divided
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 6 soft tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Fill a small casserole dish or baking dish with ~1” of water and put on the bottom rack of the oven. Allow this water to come to temperature as the oven preheats. Lightly grease a rimmed sheet pan (18x13 inches) or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika until smooth and well blended. Alternatively, you could also use an immersion blender to get a completely smooth mixture.
  • Stir in diced peppers, red onion, black beans, ½ cup of the cheese, and chopped cilantro.
  • Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheese over the surface. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the eggs cool slightly then cut into about 6 to 8 even squares or rectangles, depending on your desired burrito size.
  • Place one egg square into the center of a tortilla and add your favorite toppings like salsa, avocado, hot sauce, or extra cheese. Roll tightly and enjoy right away, or wrap for meal prep*.

Notes

*Wrap each assembled burrito tightly in foil or parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
For longer storage, place wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat from frozen, unwrap and microwave in 60–90 second intervals until warmed through, or let thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently.
Choose a high fiber tortilla for a more balanced breakfast.
