Big Breakfast Burrito

Everything about this breakfast is big—big tastes, big portion, and big satisfaction. The only small thing is the effort you need to make it. This soft flour tortilla stuffed with goodies—savory beans, scrambled eggs, spicy salsa, melting cheese, rich avocado, and tangy sour cream—is just the right size to keep you going all morning without weighing you down.
