Preparing Your Filling

  1. Cook the Protein:

    • Scramble your eggs or sauté tofu until lightly golden.
  2. Sauté the Veggies:
    • In the same skillet, toss in chopped bell peppers and spinach.
    • Cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant.
  3. Heat the Beans:
    • Add cooked black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Wrapping It Up Perfectly

  1. Warm the Tortilla:
    • Place your tortilla on a hot skillet for 10-15 seconds on each side, just enough to make it pliable.
  2. Assemble the Burrito:
    • Lay the tortilla flat. Add your cooked eggs, sautéed veggies, beans, and a slice of avocado.
    • Drizzle salsa on top and sprinkle with cheese if desired.
  3. Roll It Up Like a Pro:
    • Fold the sides of the tortilla inward.
    • Starting from one end, roll it tightly into a neat burrito shape.
