Mexicans got it right with their hearty breakfast burritos. Ditch the sugary cereals and give this nutritious and flavorful dish a try. Perfect for refueling after a workout or as a meal while traveling, it’s packed with nutrients and is sure to keep you satisfied.

Ingredients

• 1 can (415 g) refried beans
• Large bunch of cilantro, roughly chopped (save 2 tbsp for garnish)
• ½ tbsp coconut oil
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 2 roasted red peppers (about 100 g), sliced into 1 cm strips
• ½ tsp chili flakes
• 275 g thick-cut ham, diced into 1 cm pieces
• Small knob of butter
• 8 eggs, beaten
• 4 large tortillas
• 10 pickled jalapeños, roughly chopped

Method

1. Heat the refried beans in a saucepan over low heat, adding a bit of water and the chopped cilantro. Stir occasionally.
2. In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the red onion for 1 minute, then add the roasted red peppers, chili flakes, and ham. Continue cooking for 1 more minute.
3. Increase the heat to high and add a knob of butter. Once it melts, pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring slowly like you’re making scrambled eggs. If the eggs start to stick, reduce the heat slightly.
4. When the eggs are almost set, stop stirring and let them brown slightly for a couple of minutes.
5. Warm the tortillas in the microwave.
6. Sprinkle the jalapeños over the eggs and give them a final stir to combine.
7. To assemble, spread a generous amount of beans on each tortilla, add the egg mixture, and sprinkle with the reserved cilantro. Roll up the burritos and enjoy!
