Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burrito
I had some taco fixings leftover in the refrigerator, so I decided to make myself this huevos rancheros breakfast burrito recipe. I warmed up a leftover flour tortilla, some black beans, and corn, then scrambled some eggs, and put it all in the tortilla along with some avocado, tomato, green onions, cotija cheese, and cilantro. I served this burrito with some of the simple spicy salsa on the side. It was a quick, healthy, and delicious breakfast that gave me the boost I needed before my bike ride.
Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burrito
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 eggs, very well whisked
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp corn kernels
- 1 flour tortilla or corn tortilla
- ¼ avocado, sliced
- 2 grape tomatoes, sliced
- ½ green onion, sliced
- 2 tsp cotija cheese, crumbles
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salsa, for serving
- Hot sauce
How to Make Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Burrito
Heat a large skillet with butter over medium-high heat. Add the well-whisked eggs to the skillet. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Constantly fold the egg mixture from the bottom of the skillet to the top. This will keep them from overcooking, and the middle section will stay soft and fluffy. Do this constantly for 1 or 2 minutes, or until the eggs are set.  Do not overcook. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, heat the black beans and corn in the microwave until hot, about 20 seconds.
Heat the tortilla for a few seconds over a flame on a gas stove, or in a dry large skillet, until pliable. Side Note: You can also wrap a tortilla in a dish towel, then place it into the microwave for 20 seconds or until warm and pliable.
Place the beans and corn down the center of the warm tortilla, then top with the scrambled eggs, slices of avocado, tomato, green onion, cotija cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Roll into a burrito, then place on a plate seam side down.
Serve with salsa. Enjoy.

i get so excited when i see huevos rancheros on a breakfast menu and i almost always order it when it’s an option. this is a marvelous burrito!
I’ve definitely had tex mex on the brain lately and these burritos sound excellent!
I would love this for breakfast. The black sound great in this with the eggs.
Perfect breakfast burrito 🙂 I love huevos rancheros! Lots of healthy and delicious ingredients.
I say this all the time, but you really do make the best meals with your leftovers, Pam! This looks so yummy!
I need to try this for Trevor. He has been stuck in a bacon/egg/cheese breakfast sandwich rut for weeks now but that is all he wants. I make him breakfast every morning but never eat breakfast myself.
