When you’ve only got 5 minutes to throw together breakfast… you’ve got 5 whole minutes to make something nourishing.
One of my go-to’s? This basic bean breakfast burrito. It’s low-fat, takes minimal prep, and keeps your belly happy.
What you’ll need:
- 1 whole wheat, burrito-sized tortilla – Warm it for 8 seconds so it’s soft and durable.
- 1 can of fat-free refried pinto beans – No oil, no fat. Just creamy, flavorful, protein-packed goodness.
- 1 cup black beans– rinsed and drained.
- Nutritional yeast – Adds a cheesy, savory boost.
- 1/4 of a small avocado
- Fresh jalapeño and onions (optional – if you’re into a little kick)
- Seasonings: Sweet paprika, black pepper, cumin, and granulated garlic
How to make it:
Spread the beans on the warmed tortilla. Add whole black beans. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast and seasonings. Add avocado, jalapeños, and onions. Roll it all up, microwave for about 30 seconds, and serve.
Top it with Cholula or your favorite salsa.
