These simple, delicious, and surprisingly healthy breakfast wraps bring the flavors and sunshine of Mexican-Californian fusion cuisine straight to your home. Filled with scrambled eggs, cheese, avocado, and more, these burritos can be served not only as a hearty breakfast but also as a quick lunch or dinner, and they’re perfect to take to work, school, or on the go. If you have an extra five minutes, invest them in making your own refried beans as indicated in the recipe; if not, you’ll find a quick guide in the notes on how to easily enhance store-bought canned refried beans.

Prepare the Filling

Wash the tomato and cut it into slices. Wash the spinach thoroughly and spin dry. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit from one half, peel it, and slice it.

Beans

Peel and finely chop the garlic and shallot. Heat 1 teaspoon of canola or vegetable oil in a pan, add the garlic and shallot with a pinch of salt, and sauté until translucent. Add 1 tablespoon tomato paste, ⅓ cup drained cooked beans (black beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans), and ¼ cup water. Stir and simmer over medium heat until the water has evaporated.

Mash the beans roughly with the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher, then season with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Remove from the pan.

Scrambled Eggs

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan. Pour the eggs into the hot pan, then remove the pan from the heat. Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from one side of the pan to the other until they are set but still nicely moist.

Roll the Burrito

Spread the refried beans on the lower middle of each tortilla, leaving some space at the edges. Evenly distribute the tomatoes, spinach, cheese, scrambled eggs, avocado, and ham on both wraps—try to layer them in a strip on top of each other.

First, fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up. Then fold in both sides, and carefully but firmly roll the tortilla from the bottom up. Hold the sides tightly while rolling.

Place the burritos seam-side down in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook for about 2 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until both wraps are golden brown on both sides.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Tortilla Warming Technique 🔥
Quickly warm tortillas directly on a gas flame or in a dry skillet for 10-15 seconds per side to enhance flexibility and develop a subtle smoky flavor.
Egg Scrambling Secret 🥚
Remove scrambled eggs from heat when they're still slightly wet, as they'll continue cooking from residual heat and prevent dry, rubbery texture.
Avocado Pro Hack 🥑
Prevent avocado browning by adding a splash of lime juice and storing it in an airtight container with the pit to maintain freshness.
Bean Flavor Boost 🌶️
When making refried beans, sauté shallots and garlic in canola oil before adding beans to develop a deeper, more complex flavor profile.
Burrito Rolling Technique 🌯
Warm the tortilla first, place fillings slightly off-center, fold the sides in, then roll tightly from bottom up to create a perfect, leak-proof wrap.
