3. In the same skillet from the beef, sauté red bell pepper and red onion until slightly soft.
4. Lay out tortillas. Evenly divide eggs, beef, veggies, cheese, and herbs among them.
5. Fold the sides, then roll each tortilla into a burrito. Wrap in parchment and foil or place in freezer-safe bags.

Wrap in parchment before foil to reduce moisture when reheating.
