Method

  1. 1Warm the oil in a large frying pan and cook the onion and peppers for about 6 minutes until soft.
  2. 2Add the beans and warm through, then season to taste.
  3. 3Pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently until just scrambled and set.
  4. 4Let the filling cool a little, then divide between the tortillas and scatter over the cheese, if using.
  5. 5Fold in the sides and roll each one up tightly.
  6. 6Wrap each burrito in foil or greaseproof paper ready for the freezer.

Freezing: freeze the wrapped burritos for up to 2 months. To reheat, unwrap and microwave from frozen until piping hot, turning halfway.

Tip: let the egg filling cool before rolling so the wraps do not go soggy.
