Breakfast Burrito Bowls

This is a heartier breakfast than my usual egg and sausage bowl, adding black beans and salsa to make it taste more like a burrito filling than a plain scramble. It's a good option for mornings when I want something with a little more substance.

Roasting the potatoes separately gives them a better texture than if they were just pan-fried alongside everything else. Black beans add fiber and protein on top of the eggs and sausage, which is part of why this one keeps me full for longer.

Salsa added at the end keeps this from tasting like a plain scramble, giving it that same burrito flavor without needing a tortilla. Cheese melted on top ties everything together.

The recipe card has the full ingredient list and roasting time for the entire ten-portion batch. Let everything cool before dividing it into containers, then refrigerate what you'll eat within four days and freeze the rest. Add the salsa and cheese fresh when you reheat it.
