America's Test Kitchen Breakfast Burritos image

This recipe is a keeper--one I will make again. It was so good I wanted to eat long after I was full. Definitely the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Recipe courtesy of The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. Feel free to substitute andouille, kielbasa, or hot Italian sausage for the chorizo sausage.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 large eggs
1/4 cup half-and-half
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
6 ounces chorizo sausage, chopped medium
1 red onion, chopped fine
1 red bell pepper (stemmed, seeded, and chopped medium)
1 jalapeno chile (stemmed, seeded, and minced)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 ounces cheddar cheese (shredded)
3 scallions, sliced thin
6 flour tortillas (8 to 9 inch)
1 cup sour cream (optional)
1 cup salsa (jarred or fresh)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add the chorizo and cook until lightly browned, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno and continue to cook until they have softened and are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the chorizo mixture to a medium bowl and cover to keep warm.
  • Wipe the skillet clean and return to the heat.
  • Melt the butter in the skillet, swirling to coat the pan.
  • Add the eggs and cook while gently pushing, lifting, and folding them from one side of the pan to the other until they are nicely clumped, shiny, and wet (about 2 minutes).
  • Quickly fold in the cheddar and scallions, then remove the mixture from the pan.
  • Fold in the chorizo mixture.
  • Place each tortilla between sheets of paper towels and microwave on high until the tortillas are hot and steaming (30 to 60 seconds).
  • Distribute the eggs evenly among the tortillas and roll into burritos.
  • Slice the burritos in half and serve, passing the sour cream and salsa separately.

BREAKFAST-FOR-DINNER BURRITOS



Breakfast-for-Dinner Burritos image

Having a cheesy scrambled egg-filled burrito for dinner is the antidote to a busy morning when there often just isn't time to make or enjoy one. This version has some salsa-spiked refried beans, Canadian bacon and avocado in it to add extra heft, but like any burrito, it's also easy to customize and make your own.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces seasoned curly fries
3/4 cup refried beans
3 tablespoons salsa, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 pieces Canadian bacon, chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon ancho chile powder
8 large eggs, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
4 large flour tortillas
1 avocado, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Spread the curly fries on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake as the label directs. Meanwhile, put the beans in a medium bowl and microwave until hot, 1 to 2 minutes; stir in the salsa.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the Canadian bacon; cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the scallions and chile powder; cook just until softened, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the eggs. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until fluffy and just slightly wet in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the cheese. Let stand 1 minute, then stir until the cheese is melted and the eggs are very creamy.
  • Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Spread the bean mixture over the bottom third of the tortillas. Top with the avocado slices and eggs. Roll up tightly. Serve with the fries and more salsa.

1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons kosher salt
