15 - ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
16 - ¼ teaspoon salt

# How To Make It:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and zucchini; sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
02 - Add spinach and tomato to the skillet; cook for 2 minutes until spinach wilts. Stir in black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more. Remove vegetable mixture from skillet and set aside.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk in a bowl. Pour mixture into the same skillet and scramble over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat and fold in the shredded cheese.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or microwave each for 20 seconds until warm and pliable.
05 - Divide the vegetable mixture evenly over each tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs, avocado slices, and a spoonful of salsa. Sprinkle with cilantro if using.
06 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for portability.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but actually fuels your whole morning without the energy crash.
  • The whole thing comes together in less time than it takes to wait in a coffee line.
  • Every bite has a different texture and flavor because you're not skimping on the vegetables.
02 -
  • Don't overstuff the burrito or it will burst open and leak everywhere—you need some empty space to fold properly.
  • Make sure your eggs are only just set when you remove them from heat, they finish cooking when you mix in the warm cheese and this prevents them from becoming rubbery and dense.
03 -
  • Taste your egg mixture before you pour it into the pan—if it seems bland, add another pinch of salt, which is better than waiting until they're cooked.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or you'll spend frustrating minutes scraping scrambled egg off the bottom, and life is too short for that.
