How To Make Camping Burrito Bowls For Breakfast
If you want a hearty but quick morning meal, try throwing healthy ingredients into a bowl, get a fork and dig in!
Step 1. Heat the beans. Not many of our camping breakfast ideas start with a can of beans but this one does and it is not only because they are great for providing fiber and protein … they taste awesome too! You’ll dump a can of black beans into a pot to get them heating over a medium heat.
Step 2. Cook the eggs. I like making scrambled eggs in a non-stick pan when I am cooking with my camp stove because you can cook them slowly over a low heat and they turn out velvety smooth. You are going to melt the butter first then add the eggs, salt and pepper.
Step 3. Add the cheese. You don’t want the eggs to cook through … just cook them till they are just about set and then add the cheese. As you are cooking the eggs you will be gently and continuously stirring them so they don’t get that rubbery texture.
Step 4. Cube the avocado. Now, cube the avocado and toss it in a bit of lime juice so it doesn’t turn brown. The avocado is so fresh and creamy … making a perfect topping to this breakfast dish.
Step 5. Build the bowls. Get your bowls ready for plating. Remove the beans from the liquid and divide them between the bowls. I like using a slotted spoon for draining the liquid. Now add the scrambled eggs, avocado, and salsa. In about 10 or 15 minutes … you’ll be eating! You gotta love easy camping meals when you are hungry and want food on the table in a hurry!
Step 6. Serve hot. These breakfast bowls have a wonderful Mexican flavor profile. You can serve them with toast but I like serving them with some fresh fruit on the side.

Pairings For Breakfast Burrito Bowls
In the summer I like making this yummy camping fruit salad that has a scrumptious honey mint syrup.
Substitutions
I like using black beans because of their color and texture. You can swap with any type you have on hand … kidney and pinto beans are great options.
If you prefer using fresh ingredients instead of a prepared salsa, just make a quick pico de gallo by combining a few chopped tomatoes with a bit of onion, garlic, fresh cilantro, sea salt and black pepper. Or, you can make my amazingly delicious Sweet Onion Salsa Recipe!
One of my favorite things to serve with our Mexican dinners is this Fresh Guacamole. If I have leftovers, I replace the cubed avocado with a scoop of guac.
Make It A Brunch
Breakfast bowls are perfect brunch meals. Take a medium bowl, add a large handful of chopped lettuce then top with this recipe. You can even drizzle a little sour cream and hot sauce too. This is a great option if you’re looking for keto camping food ideas!

Camping Burrito Bowls Breakfast Recipe
Equipment
- Skillet or Blackstone
Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans drained
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6 large eggs beaten (see Note #1)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup prepared salsa
- 1 avocado cubed (see Note #2)
Instructions
- Place the beans in a pan or on a Blackstone griddle and heat over a medium heat.
- Melt the butter in a pan or on a griddle over low heat then pour in the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Gently and continuously stir the eggs until they are almost set, about 3 minutes.
- Add the cheese to the eggs and continue stirring over low heat until the cheese is melted.
- Using a slotted spoon to drain any liquid, divide the beans between 4 bowls.
- Use a knife to cube the avocado just before serving.
- Top with beans in the bowls with scrambled eggs, avocado and salsa.
Notes
- Instead of beating the eggs in a bowl, you can crack the eggs and use a fork to scramble them directly on your Blackstone or in your skillet.
- I like to cube the avocado and top the breakfast bowl just before serving. If you want to cut the avocado in advance, you will need to toss it in a little lime or lemon juice to keep it from turning brown.
