Southwestern-Style Black Bean Burritos
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 15 oz. BPA-free can unsalted black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 6 cups lightly packed baby spinach
- 翹 tsp. sea salt and ground black pepper, divided
- 8 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 large whole-grain tortillas
- 1 cup jarred all-natural salsa or pico de gallo
- 職 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese
Preparation
Make a batch of these protein-packed burritos on Sunday and store them in your fridge or freezer for heat-and-eat hiking, skiing, or backpacking meals.
1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil on medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 6 minutes
2. Add beans, spinach, and 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until spinach is wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl to cool.
3. In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil on medium. Add eggs and remaining 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until softly set, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a separate large bowl to cool.
4. Spoon one-quarter of bean mixture across center of 1 tortilla, leaving a 2-inch border uncovered on each edge. Top with one-quarter of each eggs, salsa, and cheese.
5. Fold left and right edges of tortilla in over the filling. Lift bottom edge of tortilla (edge closest to you) over filling; roll tightly upward. Mist a square of foil with cooking spray and wrap burrito tightly, oiled side facing burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling ingredients. (TIP: Refrigerate for up to 1 day or freeze for up to 1 month.)
6. To heat, preheat oven or toaster oven to 375簞F. Arrange foil-wrapped burrito(s) on a baking sheet. Bake until heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. If frozen, bake 40 to 45 minutes. (Camping tip: Warm foil-wrapped burritos on a grate over indirect heat or by nestling them into hot coals. Turn periodically until toasty.)
