- Stir in the black beans during the last 30 seconds of cooking to warm them through.
- Warm the protein tortilla in a separate dry skillet or microwave for 15 seconds to increase pliability.

- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the hot filling and add the avocado slices.

Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serve this warm with a side of fresh salsa. Add a dash of hot sauce for a little kick. It is perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch too. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy your morning. Pack it in foil for a quick breakfast on the go.
Storage & Reheating
You can store these in the fridge for three days. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap. To reheat, just pop them in the microwave. You can also freeze them for up to a month. This makes your weekday mornings so much smoother. It is the ultimate meal prep solution.
Tips for Best Results
- Do not skip toasting the seam for a crispy finish.
- Avoid overfilling the tortilla so it stays sealed tight.
- Use a non-stick pan to keep cleanup very easy.
- Warm the tortilla first to prevent it from cracking.
- Make a big batch on Sunday for easy weekday lunches.
- Add the avocado right before serving for the best texture.
Easy Flavor Ideas
- Add chopped bell peppers for extra crunch and color.
- Use spicy chorizo instead of turkey for more heat.
- Try a gluten-free wrap to meet your dietary needs.
- Swap cheddar for pepper jack to add a bold zing.
Common Questions
Can I use only whole eggs?
Yes, you can use three whole eggs instead. The egg whites just help boost the protein count. It will still taste creamy and delicious either way.
How do I stop it from getting soggy?
Make sure to drain your black beans very well. Let the filling cool slightly before wrapping for storage. Toasting the outside also creates a sturdy barrier.
I hope this simple breakfast brings a little ease to your busy mornings. You deserve a meal that makes you feel strong and energized. Happy cooking!
