Microwave Breakfast Burrito in a Mug(Mugrito)

The Mugrito is a breakfast burrito made in a mug by cooking eggs, beans, cheese, and scallions inside a folded tortilla. Quick to prepare, it results in a layered, soft-filled breakfast that can be eaten right from the mug, served with sour cream and salsa for additional flavor.

Description

This recipe uses a large tortilla pressed into a microwave-safe mug as an edible container. Beaten eggs are mixed with pinto or black beans, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped scallions, then poured into the tortilla-lined mug. The mixture is seasoned with salt and pepper and microwaved until the eggs are cooked through but still tender. The tortilla softens and naturally folds to contain the filling. Once cooked, the burrito can be eaten straight from the mug or gently removed and rolled for a more traditional burrito experience.

The texture is a balance between fluffy eggs, melted cheese, tender beans, and soft tortilla, making it a convenient, savory breakfast option. The dish is commonly topped with salsa and sour cream, adding bright and creamy elements to the rich filling.

The cooking time depends on microwave strength; checking the eggs partway prevents overcooking, which can cause tough or rubbery texture.
