Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Roasting
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and cubed (about 2 heaping cups)
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- Half of a yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base (optional)
Eggs
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base (optional)
Burrito Assembly
- 6 large tortillas (adjust depending on size)
- 1 14-ounce can refried black beans
- 7 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Salsa or chipotle sauce for dipping (see notes)
Instructions
- Prepare Veggies: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). On a half sheet pan, combine cubed potatoes, sliced bell peppers, and sliced onions. Toss these vegetables with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and the roasted garlic base if using to enhance flavor.
- Roast Vegetables: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Stir the veggies and continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender and the peppers and onions are slightly browned.
- Prepare Eggs: Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the 12 eggs with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and the roasted garlic base if using, ensuring a consistent mixture.
- Bake Eggs: Pour the egg mixture directly over the roasted veggies on the sheet pan. Bake in the oven for 7 minutes until the eggs begin to set.
- Scramble Eggs Slightly: Remove the sheet pan and gently push the eggs around to scramble them a bit—they should remain slightly wet on the surface. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 3-6 minutes until the eggs are fully set.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay out your tortillas. Distribute the egg and veggie mixture evenly onto each tortilla. Add spoonfuls of refried black beans, shredded smoked gouda, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
- Wrap Burritos: Fold the sides of each tortilla snugly over the filling and roll tightly to form burritos. Wrap each burrito individually in aluminum foil for storage or freezing.
- Storage: Refrigerate wrapped burritos for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months for meal prep convenience.
- Reheating Options – Microwave: Unwrap the burrito and place on a microwave-safe plate. Heat for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even warming.
- Reheating Options – Oven: Leave burrito wrapped in foil and heat in a 425°F oven for 25-30 minutes if thawed, or 35-40 minutes if frozen. Place directly on the oven rack.
- Reheating Options – Air Fryer or Skillet for Crispiness: Lightly spritz burrito with oil. Air fry at 350°F for 4 minutes to crisp the outside. Alternatively, pan fry in butter over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side until golden. If using a frozen burrito, a quick 1-2 minute microwave after crisping may be needed to heat through.
Notes
- For quicker preparation, you can substitute the cubed russet potato with store-bought frozen hashbrowns—adjust roasting time as needed.
- The Better Than Bouillon Roasted Garlic Base is optional but adds depth of flavor to both veggies and eggs.
- The creamy chipotle sauce suggested for dipping can be made by mixing mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo, lime juice, and a pinch of salt; adjust to taste.
- Freezing the burritos wrapped in foil allows for convenient grab-and-go meals that reheat well.
- Be sure to slightly undercook the eggs on the sheet pan to keep them creamy and tender in the burritos.
- When reheating, wrapping the burrito in foil helps prevent drying out and keeps the filling moist.
