Time 45m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large potatoes, diced
1 onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
8 eggs, beaten
1 lb breakfast sausage or 1 lb chorizo sausage, cooked and drained
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
10 large flour tortillas
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry potatoes until almost cooked through, then add onions and peppers, continuing to cook until vegetables are tender. Drain, set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter or margarine over medium heat. Scramble eggs, adding potatoes, vegetables, and sausage during the last few moments of cooking. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top each tortilla with cheese and part of the egg mixture, roll into a burrito. Spray a hot grill (I use a family size George Foreman) with cooking spray. Grill for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Serve hot with homemade Pico De Gallo, salsa, sour cream, or perhaps Spanish rice and refried beans.

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.

GRILLED BREAKFAST BURRITO - 1 PAN



Grilled Breakfast Burrito - 1 pan image

My favorite part of this recipe is you use one large frying pan and that's it.

Provided by LAURA BROWN

Categories     Tacos & Burritos

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c tater tots
1/2 small onion
1 lb bulk sausage
1 can(s) chopped chilis
8 eggs
4 large flour tortillas, room temperature
2 Tbsp real butter
1 c shredded cheddar cheese (i use sharp)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp ground cumin seed (if you want)
4 sprig(s) cilantro, fresh

Steps:

  • 1. Heat large non-stick frying pan to med-high, melting the butter
  • 2. Add the tater tots and fry until you can start breaking them up (I use a lid to speed things up). Add the sausage, breaking it up into the pan. Reduce heat to medium.
  • 3. Add the finely chopped onion and the chilis. Stir frequently for about 4-5 minutes.
  • 4. Stir until tots are broken up and browning and the sausage is JUST getting done. Add all the eggs into the mix and stir until they are all done. (You can stir the eggs all up in a bowl if you want to but I just break them all into the mix and keep stirring.)Season to taste. Do NOT turn stove off - just turn it down a little more.
  • 5. Place tortillas on dinner plates. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of cheese into middle of each one. Divide the fried mixture into 4 portions into middle of tortilla. Fold the tortilla sides in (like building an envelope) then fold the bottom up, rolling the burrito.
  • 6. With the pan still on a low medium to medium setting, place each burrito back into pan, rolled edge down, and let them grill about 2-3 minutes on each side (keep an eye on them). If you have a weight to put on top of them that is great. I serve with pico de gallo or salsa and a fork. You won't be able to just pick these up! Garnish with some torn spring of cilantro.

CRISPY ROLLED BREAKFAST BURRITO



Crispy Rolled Breakfast Burrito image

I've always loved the idea of a breakfast burrito, but I've never been crazy about the execution. It always seemed like we were rolling up a bunch of random breakfast ingredients in a tortilla. Plus, it always bothered me that just a little of the top and bottom got browned, I mean, what about the sides? Here I'm going to show you a technique that takes care of both of those issues and will work no matter what ingredients you decide to use.

Provided by Chef John

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon
1 large russet potato, peeled and cubed
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
¼ cup sliced onion
¼ cup sliced bell pepper
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
4 large eggs, beaten
2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
1 teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
1 medium avocado, cubed
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a cold, nonstick pan over medium to medium-high heat. Cook until browned, crisp, and foamy, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, remove to a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside.
  • Place cubed potatoes into the pan of bacon fat and set heat to medium. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Cook, tossing and turning occasionally, until the potatoes are browned, crispy, and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onions and peppers, and cook until they soften up a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer everything into a strainer set over a bowl to drain excess bacon fat.
  • To make one breakfast burrito, place 2 strips cooked bacon back in the pan. Turn heat to medium and scatter 1/2 of the potato mixture in and around. Scatter over 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese as evenly as possible, and then pour 2 beaten eggs over top.
  • Tilt the pan to make sure the egg is evenly distributed. Place a tortilla over the top and press down lightly into the rest of the ingredients. Cook just until the eggs firm up enough to flip, about 1 minute. Use a spatula to carefully, but confidently, flip everything over so the tortilla is now on the bottom. Cook until the tortilla is as browned and crispy as you like, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and transfer onto a plate. Roll into a burrito and serve with hot sauce, avocado, sour cream, and cilantro. Repeat to cook remaining burrito.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: Opt for sturdy tortillas that won't tear easily when grilling. Corn or flour tortillas both work well.
  • Prep Your Veggies: Cut your veggies into uniform sizes so they cook evenly. You want them to be tender but not mushy.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or chives add a vibrant flavor to your burritos. Chop them finely before adding.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook your burritos in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This ensures they cook evenly and get those beautiful grill marks.
  • Be Patient: Grilling the burritos takes a bit of time, so be patient. Flipping them too often will prevent them from getting those nice grill marks.

Conclusion:

Grilled breakfast burritos are a delicious and versatile meal that can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and prep, you can enjoy a hot, fresh burrito in no time. Experiment with different fillings and salsas to create your perfect combination. Whether you're cooking for a crowd or just yourself, grilled breakfast burritos are a satisfying and delicious way to start your day. So, fire up your grill and let's get cooking!
