This breakfast burrito skillet is the savory brunch pan: eggs, peppers, onion, black beans, cheddar, tortillas for wrapping or dipping. It is not sausage-egg breakfast casserole (that is a baked 9×13) and it is not a sweet French toast bake. Use this page for the skillet burrito breakfast.

Skillet, not a breakfast casserole
The sausage-egg casserole is baked. Hash brown casserole is potatoes. This is a burrito filling in a skillet.
Substitutions
Pinto beans work. Corn tortillas if you want it gluten-free. Pepper jack instead of cheddar.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not overcook the eggs into rubber. Do not skip draining the beans.
Storage
Refrigerate 3 days. Reheat gently. Assemble burritos and wrap in foil for the freezer.

About 480 calories per serving with tortillas. Estimate only, not a lab test.
