Comments

I made these burritos today for a quick lunch. I use different veggies and seasonings each time depending on what I have on hand. Today it was tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic, paprika, pepper and Tabasco. I also used whole black beans instead of refried and used the microwave instead of the oven because I was in a hurry. They always turn out delicious and the beans and eggs add a nice boost of protein and taste great together, too!

These are a morning staple at my house. Sometimes we change up the beans and do black beans or whole pinto beans. Great with any othem!

We love this. The kids added bell peppers as one of the vegetables, and potatoes. We added potatoes so that the recipe resembled a tortilla Española.

These are great! I added a little sausage into them and the flavor was fantastic.
