BREAKFAST BURRITO



Breakfast Burrito image

A burrito is a delicious, portable answer to breakfast. All of the elements are snugly wrapped in a tortilla, keeping everything warmer longer when you're taking it to go. Let your littlest chefs help crack and beat the eggs or shred the cheese. When everything is cooked, enlist their help again to assemble and roll up the burritos.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 jalapeno, diced, seeded if desired
1/2 small red onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, reserving some for garnish
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 ounces fresh Mexican-style chorizo, casings removed
1 cup frozen hash browns with peppers and onions, such as Potatoes O'Brien
8 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Hot sauce
4 large burrito-size tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup finely shredded Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

Steps:

  • For the pico de gallo: Combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, onions, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the burritos: Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up, until it is slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add the hash browns to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl until frothy. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a couple dashes of hot sauce. Pour the eggs over the hash and cook, stirring, until the eggs are fluffy and just set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Wipe out the skillet and return it to the heat.
  • Warm the tortillas one at a time in the skillet.
  • Build the burrito by layering the avocado, egg mixture, about a tablespoon of pico de gallo and a sprinkle of cheese. Fold in the two sides and roll up tightly. Garnish with the reserved cilantro leaves and serve with additional pico de gallo and hot sauce on the side.

MEXICAN BREAKFAST BURRITO

A peppery, vegetarian take on an enduring favorite -- the breakfast burrito! Oaxaca cheese has a similar texture to mozzarella and melts beautifully.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 burritos

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 large eggs
Kosher salt
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 russet potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds), grated and squeezed dry
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups grated Oaxaca cheese (about 7 7/8 ounces)
1 small white onion, sliced
2 poblano chiles, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
One 10-ounce box chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Sour cream and hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the eggs and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and add to the skillet in a single even layer. Cook until golden and crispy on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip with a heatproof spatula and drizzle 2 more tablespoons oil around the edge of the skillet, giving the skillet a good shake once all the oil is in. (This allows you to use less oil while still getting a crispy potato cake.) Continue cooking until golden and crispy on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spread 4 tortillas out on a clean work surface and put 1/2 cup cheese in the middle of each. Using the spatula, break the potato cake into 4 pieces and place on top of the cheese. Wipe the skillet out, return to the heat and add 1 tablespoon oil, then the onion and poblanos. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still moist, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the tortillas and wipe out the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat and reduce it to medium-low.
  • Fold the sides of each tortilla in, then roll each one up into a burrito. Brush the burritos all over with the remaining tablespoon oil and put them in the skillet seam-side down. Cook until golden and crispy, about 4 minutes, then flip and repeat on the opposite side. Serve with sour cream and hot sauce on the side.
