Instructions

- Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until softened.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes to heat through and coat the ingredients in the spices.
Step2: Cook the Scrambled Eggs
- In a separate skillet, add a little olive oil or butter and heat over medium-low.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook gently, stirring with a spatula until soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
Step3: Assemble the Burritos
- Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Add a generous scoop of the chicken and veggie mixture, followed by the scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and any additional fillings (like salsa or avocado).
- Roll the burrito tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
Step 4: Heat the Burritos (Optional)
- For a warm and crispy burrito, place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Step5: Serve with Toppings
- Plate the burritos and top with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
