The Breakfast Burrito

This is a simple one and our tasty alternative to the English cooked breakfast

I made it on New Years Eve morning to help us recover from the New Years Eve Eve drinking and to line our stomachs for the drinking ahead. It must have done the trick as we were out partying until 4am, quite impressive from a couple with a usual bed time of 10.15pm... 

The Mrs is half Mexican and although the breakfast burrito probably isn't very authentic, more tex mex, the guacemole is something she has an instinctive ability to be able to do, like birds flying or fish swimming... Therefore the ingredients are quite approximate and more of a guide as she makes it up as she goes along...
 

 

To make 2 burritos -

2 Large Flour Tortillas
215g can of Refried Beans
Mature Cheddar, grated

Handful of sliced Jalapenos

3 Large Eggs
Small Splash of Milk
Dried Chilli Flakes, to taste
Generous amount of Salt and Pepper

Large Nob of Butter 

 

• Preheat the oven to 200C
• Spread half of the refried beans across the middle of each tortilla, then split the cheese and sprinkle on top along with the jalapenos
• Place each tortilla on a large piece of tin foil, gather the foil and fold at the top to seal.
• Cook in the oven for approx 12 minutes until the cheese has melted and the beans are warmed through, the top edges of the tortilla should be nice and crispy
• While the tortillas are in the oven prepare your eggs. Add the eggs, milk, chilli flakes, salt and pepper to a mixing jug and use a fork to combine. Add the butter to a pan and heat on high, when the butter is bubbling add your eggs and leave for a few seconds until starting to set then stir. Repeat the process until the eggs have just started to firm up and no liquid consistency is left. Don't overcook!
• Take the tortillas out of the oven and add the eggs to the top. If you can roll into a burrito shape or serve them as they are, this isn't the prettiest dish but it is one of the tastiest

Serve topped with soured cream, extra chilli sauce if you like it even hotter, and a good amount of authentic guacemole (see below)
