Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Veggies
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter.
  2. Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until softened.
  3. 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
  1. In a separate skillet, add a little olive oil or butter and heat over medium-low.
  2. 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
  1. Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
  2. 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).
  3. Roll the burrito tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
Step 4: Heat the Burritos (Optional)
  1. 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
  1. Plate the burritos and top with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
  2. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
