Drain and rinse the black beans, then warm them in a small pan or the microwave.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk well.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat and sauté the bell pepper until just softened, about 3 minutes.
Pour in the eggs and scramble gently until just set, about 2 minutes.
Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or the microwave until pliable.
💡 A cold tortilla cracks when you fold it — 20 seconds of heat fixes that.
Layer each tortilla with scrambled eggs, black beans, cheddar and spring onion.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
Return each burrito seam-side down to the hot pan for a minute to seal and lightly toast.
The breakfast burrito took shape in the Southwest, where Tex-Mex and New Mexican cooking met the American habit of eating eggs first thing in the morning. Food trucks and taquerias built entire menus around the format because it travels — wrapped tight, it survives a commute better than any plate ever could. Black beans and cheddar are the workhorse filling that shows up on nearly every regional version.
