Breakfast Burritos



Jeremy's specialty is breakfast food and he makes some mean breakfast burritos. He agreed to let me take photos of him making them one morning.  However, he declined to write about them or how he learned to make them.  As far as I can gather, it's a combination of his Texan pride and love for bacon and eggs.

Being from Texas, he's quite picky about the ingredients.  Not just any tortillas will do.  He prefers the flour tortillas made fresh at Brooklyn Fare.  Similarly,  uses spicy chorizo AND bacon, a combination of oaxaca and cheddar cheeses, potatoes, and a green tomatillo sauce - in recent days he's been into the Xochitl brand.





He loves the cast iron skillet and will use it to cook the entire meal, starting with the bacon.  Once the bacon is nice and crispy he removes it and adds the potatoes to the pan, browning them and pushing them to the side as the chorizo is cooked.  Finally, the eggs are added along with the cheese.


The eggs cook fast.  Right before he removes them from the heat, he adds a spoonful or two of the tomatillo sauce. Wrapped in the tortillas, with a glass of OJ and a cup of coffee, it's a pretty great breakfast.

Brooklyn Fare no longer carries those tortillas - alas!
