• Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Main Dish:

• 4 large eggs
• 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 1 cup cooked black beans (canned is fine, drained and rinsed)
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh salsa (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

For the Sauce / Garnish (Optional):

• 1/2 cup sour cream or Mexican crema
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• Hot sauce, to taste

How I Make It

Step 1:

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook them sunny-side up or over easy if you prefer the yolk less runny. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. The key here is not to rush—the whites should be set but the yolk still deliciously soft.

Step 2:

While the eggs cook, warm your tortillas. You can do this quickly in a dry skillet for 20-30 seconds per side or wrap them in foil and pop them in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes. Warm tortillas are softer and bend without cracking, perfect for wrapping.

Step 3:

Spread a spoonful of black beans down the center of each tortilla, followed by a handful of cheese. The residual heat will gently melt the cheese while you finish assembling.

Step 4:

Add the cooked egg on top of the beans and cheese, then layer on avocado slices and thinly sliced red onion for crunch and a pop of color.

Step 5:

Top with a generous spoonful of fresh salsa. If you love a little creamy tang, mix sour cream and smoked paprika and drizzle it over or just serve it on the side with lime wedges for squeezing.

Step 6:

Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then roll tightly on the sides to form a neat wrap. Serve immediately while everything’s warm, melty, and bursting with flavor.

Variations & Tips

• Swap flour tortillas for corn tortillas if you want a gluten-free option, but warm them gently to avoid cracking.
• Add cooked chorizo or crispy bacon inside the wrap for extra savory goodness.
• Use refried beans for a creamier texture if black beans aren’t your thing.
• Top with pickled jalapeños or a hint of chipotle powder for a smoky kick.
• Skip the cheese and avocado for a lighter, vegan version; toss in some sautéed mushrooms for earthiness.
• If your eggs break, no worries—scrambled eggs work beautifully, just cook them soft and fluffy.

How I Like to Serve It

I love serving these wraps with a simple side salad of crisp greens dressed in lime vinaigrette or even some sweet corn on the cob for a true Tex-Mex vibe. On chilly evenings, pair with a warm cup of spiced tea or margaritas if you’re feeling festive. These wraps also make great picnic fare—easy to hold and packed with satisfying layers of flavor.

Notes

• Store leftovers wrapped tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep the tortilla soft.
• Use fresh, ripe avocado to avoid mushiness; add lime juice to keep slices looking bright and fresh.

Closing: This recipe always hits the spot because it’s quick, colorful, and packs a punch of comforting, fresh flavors in every bite—your dinner emergency hero!
