Ingredients
- 2 cups pulled pork (leftover or store-bought, warmed)
- 8 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-12 inch)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
- to taste hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. If your pulled pork is cold, warm it in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or microwave until heated through. Set aside and keep warm.
đź’ˇ Tip:Â If the pork is dry, add a splash of chicken broth or BBQ sauce while reheating.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Heat butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted and foamy, pour in the egg mixture.
4. Cook the eggs, gently stirring with a spatula, until soft curds form and the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
💡 Tip: Remove eggs from heat when they're still slightly wet—they'll continue cooking from residual heat.
5. Warm the flour tortillas by placing them one at a time in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side, or wrap them in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds.
6. Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of each tortilla, layer approximately 1/2 cup pulled pork, 1/4 of the scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, 1/4 cup black beans, and 2 tablespoons diced bell peppers.
7. Top each burrito with 2 tablespoons salsa, 1 tablespoon sour cream, fresh cilantro, and hot sauce if desired.
8. Fold the burrito by first folding in the left and right sides of the tortilla about 2 inches toward the center. Then, fold the bottom edge up and over the filling, and roll tightly away from you until completely wrapped.
đź’ˇ Tip:Â Don't overfill the burrito or it will be difficult to wrap and may tear.
9. Optional: For a crispy exterior, place the wrapped burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
10. Serve immediately with extra salsa, sour cream, and hot sauce on the side.
Notes
Tips
- Make-ahead tip: Assemble the burritos, wrap tightly in aluminum foil, and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes if refrigerated, or 35-40 minutes if frozen.
- Use leftover pulled pork from a previous meal, or purchase pre-cooked pulled pork from the grocery store to save time.
- Warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing and make them more pliable for rolling.
- Add sliced avocado or guacamole for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
- For meal prep, keep ingredients separate and assemble burritos fresh each morning to prevent soggy tortillas.
