4 Breakfast Ideas Using Beans
American-grown beans are an amazing addition to every meal, and in addition to being incredibly delicious and versatile as ingredients, they’re a great way to add protein and many other nutrients to a meal. Because of this, beans are a great addition to any breakfast, especially if you need a filling, wholesome meal that will start a busy day off right with the fuel and nutrition you need to get your day started
One of the most filling ways to start off your day is with a delicious and nutritious English style breakfast or even a Full English breakfast. These meals tend to include many different components, but the key features are fried or sunny-side up eggs, toast, and baked beans. Many iterations include a cooked tomato and cooked mushrooms in slices or halves, as well as back bacon or sausage links to round out the meal. It’s a filling and nutritious breakfast to start any day off with a boost of energy!
English Style or Full English Breakfast
Breakfast burritos or wraps are a morning staple around the world, which means they can be customized endlessly to suit your tastes and your preferences. Our favorite types of breakfast burritos include bacon, eggs, black beans, and cheese. If you prefer pinto beans, those are another great option, and you can even use leftover pinto beans to make refried beans to add to your burrito! Add in freshly chopped lettuce or vegetables to boost the greens in this meal, or even add your favorite hot sauce to wake up your tastebuds and your senses for this morning meal!

Another classic breakfast pick is Huevos Rancheros, a dish of Hispanic origin that tends to feature refried beans, fried eggs, and fresh salsa. You can easily build this breakfast at home using either store-bought or homemade tostada shells (which are just flat versions of taco shells) and using your leftover pinto beans to make refried beans. Fry up your eggs and spread a layer of refried beans on your tortillas, place the egg on top, and then add salsa, fresh veggies, and cilantro to taste.
