Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to summon your inner burrito guru:

4 large tortillas (the bigger, the better for all that goodness)
2 cups roasted potatoes (because who has time to cook them from scratch)
1 avocado, sliced (the creamy goodness we all deserve)
1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional, but why wouldn’t you)
1 cup bell peppers, diced (hello, color)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (the tastiest protein bomb)
1 teaspoon cumin (for a touch of sass)
Salt and pepper to taste (seasoning is key, folks)
Olive oil for cooking (just don’t drown everything, okay)

Chances are, even if you don’t have everything on this list, you can improvise with what you already have in your fridge. That’s the beauty of breakfast burritos!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get down to business. Follow these easy-peasy steps to burrito bliss:

Heat up that olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add your mushrooms and bell peppers, and sauté until they’re all tender and looking pretty.
Time to join the party. Add the cooked roasted potatoes and black beans to the skillet. Sprinkle with cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir it all up until everything is combined and warmed through.
Warm up those tortillas in a separate pan or slap them in the microwave for a few seconds. You want them soft and bendy.
Divide the delicious filling among the tortillas, layering those fancy avocado slices on top. Because avocado always deserves a spotlight.
Roll up your burritos tightly like you mean it. Just tuck the sides in, roll from one end to the other, and you’re golden. Serve warm and get ready for a flavor explosion.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Not preheating your pan: Thinking you can skip heating the pan? Rookie mistake. Nobody likes a cold burrito.
Overstuffing your burrito: Sure, it looks like a beast, but if you can’t wrap it, it’s going to become a sad burrito bowl on your plate.
Skipping the seasoning: If you think salt and pepper aren’t necessary, let me tell you, they are. Flavor is key, folks.
Using hard, cold tortillas: Warm your tortillas! Nobody wants to bite into a burrito that feels like a brick. So embrace the heat.
Sautéing everything for too long: Mushrooms are not eggs. If you keep them on too long, they’ll turn into shriveled little sad guys.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Listen up friends, this burrito doesn’t have to be set in stone. Got spinach? Toss it in. Out of black beans? Chickpeas work too. Prefer tofu over mushrooms? Who are we to judge? You could even skip the potatoes altogether and use quinoa if you’re feeling fancy. Also, if you’re not into cumin, throw in some taco seasoning and let the flavor fiesta begin. Seriously, the magic of cooking lies in flexibility.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I use margarine instead of olive oil? Well, technically yes, but why hurt your soul like that? Olive oil is your friend in the kitchen.

What if I burn my tortilla? Let’s not say ‘burn’ — let’s say ‘extra crispy.’ It happens to the best of us. Just try to keep a close eye next time.

Are these burritos freezable? You bet! Just make sure to wrap them tight and store them in an airtight container. They’ll love you forever — or until you defrost them.
