The Ultimate Breakfast Burrito

 

I've been trying wraps, burritos and the likes with a variety of fillings. Looks like we now have a sure fire recipe that I call a breakfast burrito just to identify it with a name.

Easy to make, yummy to eat and flavorful to the hilt. No competition here.  Below are the steps to make this delicious meal in a roll. Good news is the roll can be a chappathi, tortilla or any flat bread that takes your fancy. No need to roll if what you have at home is not big enough. Just fold it once, hold both ends together with your God given fingers and start attacking from one end to the other for finger licking goodness. Makes enough for 4 people.

In The Mix

potatoes - 4 or 5 large peeled and diced
olive oil - 4 tbsp
rosemary fresh- 1 tbsp
garlic - 5-6 cloves peeled and crushed
ground pepper - 1/4 tsp
shallots -  thinly sliced

hot italian sausage - 4-5 cooked, skin removed 
(you can use any ground meat like chicken, beef or turkey or even fried  fish. vegetarians can substitute with chickpeas or soya chunks)

eggs - 5
milk - 1 tbsp

salt to taste for all

avocado - 2 large
tomato - 2 medium

shallot - 1 thinly sliced and diced
cumin powder - 1/4 tsp
lime juice - from 1 lime squeezed as needed
serrano chili - 1 seeds removed and sliced thin
cilantro fresh - 1/4 cup
salt - 1/2 tsp

grated cheese to sprinkle on top - as needed
organic wheat tortillas - as needed

How To Do

Heat oven to 425C for baking the potatoes after cooking them.

Potatoes ** Boil water, add enough salt, and cook peeled cubed potatoes for about 15-20 min covered on medium heat. Drain, toss with olive oil, rosemary, garlic and pepper and bake at 425 for 20 min on each side until browned enough. Set aside in a bowl.

Slice 2 shallots, toss with olive oil and salt and air fry at 390C for 5-6 min on each side and mix with the baked potatoes. Can add this to potatoes while they are being baked. I just prefer the air fried version.

Sausage ** Now start off with hot sausage. Brown in a pan on medium heat with little oil, stirring often for about 4-5 min. Remove from pan and set in a bowl. Save the pan with sausage grease for the next step.

Eggs ** Break eggs into a cup, add milk, salt to taste and beat. Add to the pan set on medium heat, scramble the eggs and set aside in another bowl.

Salsa Mix **Remove skin and cut avocado into thin pieces, dice tomatoes and the remaining shallot.  Toss all together with cilantro, green chili, lime juice and cumin powder. Add or reduce the quantity of each ingredient to your taste. The salsa mix which is the last component to build your breakfast burrito is ready!

Microwave a tortilla for 10-15 seconds, spread the salsa mix, sausage, potatoes, eggs and sprinkle with cheese on top if you like. Fold together, take a mouthful and continue. Take another tortilla and repeat as many times as you want:-)
