Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons olive oil or neutral oil of choice, divided
- 1- 15.5 ounce .5 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix (1 ounce), or 3 TBSP homemade
- 1 4-ounce ounce can diced green chiles
- 6 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns
- 8 eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 burrito flour tortillas
- ½ cup Mexican-style shredded cheese plus more for garnish
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- cilantro chopped, for serving or filling, optional
- salsa for serving
- avocado for serving, optional
Instructions
- Spicy Black Beans: In a large skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons of oil over medium-low heat. Add black beans, taco seasoning, and green chiles - stir to combine until the seasoning is completely mixed in. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until heated through. The mixture will slightly thicken and be somewhat saucy. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- Hash browns: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Spread the frozen hash browns in an even layer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes without stirring so they can crisp up. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Use a hard spatula to scrape them up, keeping the crisp edges intact as much as possible. Spread them in another even layer and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add butter to melt. Pour eggs into the center of the pan so the butter spreads outward and continues to coat the pan. As the edges of the eggs set, use a spatula to gently stir around the eggs, creating fluffy pillows. Once eggs are almost set yet a little wetness remains, stir in ½ cup cheese until mixed throughout. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
- Assemble: Place a room temperature or slightly warm tortilla in the center of a piece of parchment paper or foil. In each tortilla, layer approximately ⅓ cup hashbrowns, ⅓ cup black bean mixture, and ⅓ cup eggs. Sprinkle on additional shredded cheese, as desired, and sliced green onions/cilantro (see notes).
- Wrap: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then the bottom. Begin to roll the burrito, tucking in the sides as you roll. Serve immediately or let cool completely to freeze.
- If freezing, wrap cooled burritos in foil, plastic wrap, or parchment paper. Place the wrapped burritos in a freezer bag and label (the burritos will last for 3 months in the freezer).
- Serving: serve with salsa, fresh cilantro, sour cream, hot sauce and/or guacamole or avocado as desired. Enjoy!
Reheating From Frozen
- Microwave: Unwrap the burrito and place it on a plate. Microwave at 50% power for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway through. If needed, microwave on full power for 1-2 additional minutes until heated through.
- Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F and remove the burrito from the freezer while it preheats. Place the foil-wrapped burrito on a center rack and bake for 45-50 minutes until heated through, flipping halfway through cooking time.
- Air-Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes and remove the burrito from the freezer. Place the foil-wrapped burrito on the crisper tray and air fry for 30-35 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through. The tortilla will get crisp using this method. Note that the time may vary depending on the model of air fryer you are using.

Notes
- You can absolutely add cilantro to the burrito before freezing, but it does become softer upon reheating.
- If you enjoy a little crispiness on your burrito, place it on a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, starting with the seam side so it doesn’t break open.
