# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425°F if you plan to bake a burrito right away.
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage and brown, breaking into pieces, until no pink remains. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving a bit of fat in the skillet.
03 -
Turn the heat down to medium and add the diced poblano pepper. Cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
04 -
Turn the stove to medium-low heat and pour in the whisked eggs. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Allow eggs to cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom begins to set. Pull up the edges of the eggs to let any uncooked egg run underneath. Add cubed cream cheese and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are soft and just barely cooked. Remove from heat.
05 -
Warm tortillas individually in the microwave for 20 seconds or char over an open gas flame for a few seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
06 -
Sprinkle shredded cheese onto the bottom of each tortilla. Add black beans, cooked scrambled eggs, and browned sausage. Fold the tortilla over the filling, fold in both sides, and roll tightly forward.
07 -
Wrap each burrito in foil and bake for 8-10 minutes at 425°F until heated through and the cheese is melted.
08 -
For freezer burritos, wrap each burrito in foil before baking, then store in a freezer bag. To reheat, bake directly from frozen at 425°F for 20 minutes or, if unwrapped, microwave for 2 minutes.
