Freezer Breakfast Burritos

Wrap these in foil, not plastic — foil goes straight in the microwave without melting onto breakfast (swap to a damp paper towel before reheating, foil and microwaves don't mix). Eight burritos is a full fortnight of breakfasts if you're eating four a week, which is roughly the point of doing this batch at all.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Cook the chorizo in a large non-stick pan over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until it's released its oil and started to crisp.
- 2
Add the onion and capsicum, cook 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the cumin and black beans, cook 2 minutes more to warm through.
- 3
Push everything to one side of the pan. Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, pour into the cleared space, and scramble gently until just set — slightly underdone is right, they'll finish cooking when reheated.
- 4
Fold the egg through the chorizo-bean mixture.
- 5
Warm the tortillas (10 seconds each in the microwave, or 20 seconds per side in a dry pan) so they don't crack when rolled.
- 6
Divide the filling and cheese across the 8 tortillas. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom.
- 7
Wrap each burrito individually in foil or baking paper, then bag together and freeze.
Storage & Reheating
Freezer: up to 2 months, wrapped individually. To reheat: unwrap foil-wrapped burritos and wrap in a damp paper towel instead, microwave from frozen 2.5-3 minutes on high, turning halfway. Fridge (unfrozen): 4 days.
