Cooking Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F if you plan to bake a burrito immediately.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground sausage and brown, breaking into small pieces, until no pink remains, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pan.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the diced poblano peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Turn the stove down to medium-low heat and pour in the whisked eggs, sprinkling with salt and pepper. Let sit undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the bottom starts to set. Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows to the edges. Add the cubed cream cheese and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently until the cheese melts and eggs are just set but still glossy. Remove from heat.
- Warm tortillas individually for 20 seconds in the microwave or char briefly over a gas flame until soft and pliable. Layer 2-3 tablespoons shredded cheese across the lower third of each tortilla, then add about 1/4 cup black beans, scrambled eggs, and cooked sausage, keeping filling in the lower third and leaving 2 inches on each side.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling snugly, fold in both sides, then roll forward firmly. Wrap each burrito in aluminum foil.
- For immediate serving, bake foil-wrapped burritos for 8-10 minutes at 425°F until heated through. For meal prep, store foil-wrapped burritos in a freezer-safe bag. Bake directly from frozen at 425°F for 20 minutes, or unwrap and microwave for 2 minutes.
