Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Stack the tortillas and wrap them in aluminum foil. Place in the oven to heat for 5-7 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix together beaten eggs and seasonings. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Scramble the eggs over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside until ready to assemble burritos.
Remove the warmed tortillas from the oven. Place each tortilla on a plate or cutting board. Portion ¼ of the eggs, beans, tomato, avocado, cheese, and yogurt into each tortilla. Season each with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Roll each burrito and enjoy immediately or freeze for later.

Notes

For an easy meal later, you can freeze the assembled burritos - just roll them and wrap first in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Place in a re-sealable freezer bag and store for up to 6 months. To reheat (if you have a thermometer, the internal temperature should reach 165°F):

In the oven: remove the plastic wrap, re-wrap in the aluminum foil, and place in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.

In the microwave: remove the foil and plastic, and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
