BREAKFAST WRAP/CHIMICHANGA MADE YOUR WAY



Breakfast Wrap/Chimichanga Made Your Way image

I found a recipe in TOH magazine and it sounded really good, but knew I would want to tweak for my tastes, so I searched for a breakfast chimichanga and found a recipe at Mission Food Service. You could use different types of meat, veggies and cheeses. I prefer a crisy outside, so will fry mine in a bit of oil on all sides, but for those that want a healthier breakfast, just make it a wrap. This calls for a 12 inch tortilla, so if you use a smaller or larger tortilla, you will need to adjust the amounts accordingly. The recipe is for one serving, but very easily can changed to make more than one.

Tips:

  • Use day-old tortillas. This will help prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Heat the tortillas before assembling the burritos. This will make them more pliable and less likely to break.
  • Don't overfill the burritos. Otherwise, they will be difficult to fold and seal.
  • Cook the burritos in a greased skillet over medium heat. This will help them get crispy on the outside without burning the inside.

Conclusion:

Baked chimichanga breakfast burritos are a delicious and easy way to start your day. They are packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, and they can be customized to your liking. Serve them with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
