breakfast burrito the one that makes you call your mom and say hello come on over because we have breakfast burritos that's not really something that you have to call someone because it's so good I don't know so we're. I'm going to do three different types, three different levels, one of them will be chimichanga style, so with all that being said, let's do this.

Let's listen very quickly. I have to say something: the apron sold out in less than 24 hours. I still know many of you. I want aprons so I just want to let you know that we have restocked them, they are back in a very limited quantity, this is the last run so if you want an apron get one now anyway, thank you all for the support and thank you . So much for selling it so quickly, it means a lot to me and I'm honestly quite surprised, so anyway, let's get to the recipe. Well, let's start with some basics, first the tortillas, if you've been here long enough.

You know how I feel about store bought, daddy says big, no no, make your own tortilla the size of a flower burrito, it's extremely easy and I'm using the same recipe that's in my burrito video Chipotle, link in description for that, it's simple, you mix the dough. you let it sit a little bit, you pat it down, you divide it up and you roll it into burrito sized circles and then you just put them in a hot skillet, you flip it and that's a beautiful tortilla, okay, we have tortillas, but there's one one more thing we should cross out. make a list before you start making and assembling these, those are your lovely scrambled eggs.

Oh yeah, this is the internet's favorite thing to do for pretending they know something about looks. A gentle stir would be nice, but functionality-wise, it just won't work unless you want it to. fart the other end, we don't want to overcook the eggs either, instead what I would recommend is to make what I will call a medium scrambled form with functionality, first start with a non-stick pan and add three tablespoons or 42 grams of butter without salt, place them on the stove over medium heat and once the butter is hot and boomlin, crack eight eggs and beat them in a bowl until well combined.

Without salt, now add the eggs to the pan and immediately start stirring them. These cook, basically, you're going to stir continuously. Sometimes I'll let the egg sit for a few seconds and cook on the bottom, then stir it all together. That's really all you have to do, just continue stirring and cooking over medium heat until they are. just cook them and hold them together with a spatula, but they are not completely rubber, they should look like this, then season to taste with salt and pepper and that's your mixture. This will fill about four burritos. Now the number one burrito is a classic bacon and egg. and cheese here I have home smoked and cured bacon that I made not too long ago, but obviously you can go to the store and buy some.

I prefer to do it because I can control the thickness, but blah blah blah blah, otherwise go for the thickest bacon you can. you'll need six to eight glorious slices. I cut mine so thick that I decided to go ahead and cut it into shortenings, but you can also leave it whole in one slice and then just place those bad boys on foil and baking sheet and stir. In a cold oven that is completely turned off, close the door and set the oven to 450 Fahrenheit, let them cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until beautifully browned and slightly crispy.

The other option would be to cook it in a pan if you prefer to do it now. a simple Pico, get a small bowl and add a large diced ripe tomato, a diced jalapeno, you can leave the seeds in or remove them, depends on how spicy you want it, half a finely chopped sweet onion, a handful large finely chopped sweet onion. cilantro and the juice and zest of one lime, oh, and a splash of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste for the flex, now give it a good mix until well combined, if you want to go a step further, too You can make a quick hash brown you will need one or two large russet potatoes, peeled and completely grated on a cheese grater, rinse them a little under water and then place them on a hand towel to wring out as much moisture as possible.

If you want them to dry, then all you need. It's a medium frying pan, cover it with enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, heat it over medium heat and once it's hot, press in the potatoes, let them cook for about three or four minutes, then flip them over and repeat the same for the other side until they are cooked through. and crispy on both sides now, I bet the McDonald's fries recipe I made would also be great now to put together, get yourself a purdy looking omelet, put a decent layer of your scrambled eggs or as much as you want and then hit it with your great old man thick bacon I don't know, I feel like I have a real southern accent today.

I have about two slices per burrito, some grated medium sharp cheddar cheese and optionally you can melt this with a kitchen torch because the culinary beast tops it with a little bit of your pico de gallo and then layers on the fries to cover everything almost like the roof of your house, but now the potatoes, to channel your best burrito rolling skills, roll up that fat by folding the edges while rolling it from the bottom until it's tightly rolled. this, be careful not to break it, obviously, once it's closed, then just cook it in a dry non-stick pan over medium heat for about a minute or two per side just to let the omelette reheat and lightly toast and then get a delicious cross cut and look at those Pico hash browns cradled in a ring of velvety scrambled eggs, okay so burrito number one, look at that, I mean this is just a

perfect

burrito, this is the kind that looks at the gas station, well that's not a very good comparison this is the artwork that you see on the gas station packaging that is so perfect they have that perfect little cross section it has like jalapenos exploding but no one really knows what it's homemade grilled toasted tortillas this reminds a lot of the breakfast sandwich video moment, but in the way it all comes to me, all the flavors, i.e. fireworks, singing babies, hash browns, touching your gums, so it gets a little hard to talk because then there's a little bit of hash browns like, hey, what is it? on top of a chewy toasted omelette, the eggs are perfectly cooked, salty, buttery and silky, so you have that like the classic potato, soft and fluffy with a crispy potato chip exterior and a little bit of some plants for nutrients and we can pretend which is healthy because it has pico de gallo, this is a beautiful breakfast burrito, let's move on to the next one, the next burrito is a step up, let's say a steak and eggs meets the inspiration of a Philly cheesesteak, eh, emphasis on the inspiration, okay?

Calm down Philly people, it's okay, it's not a Cheesesteak. I know anyway, let's start with our Mornay hot sauce, which is just a fancy term for cheese sauce. Start by melting four tablespoons or 56 grams of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat once. that is completely melted, add four tablespoons or 60 grams of all-purpose flour, keep whisking and cooking for about 30 seconds, then gradually add one and a half cups or 350 milliliters of whole milk, keep heating and mixing until thickened, then add one and a half cups or 225 grams of grated Gruyere cheese, then continue whisking until completely melted, then turn off the heat and add two and a half teaspoons of cayenne powder, half a teaspoon of grated fresh nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste now. just set it aside and keep warm for the peppers and onions.

It's simple: Heat a frying pan with 3 tablespoons or 42 grams of olive oil over medium-high heat and then, once it's nice and hot, add one sliced ​​red bell pepper and one sliced ​​green bell pepper. pepper and a yellow onion also finely sliced, season with salt to taste and cook for about seven minutes, stirring and stirring occasionally until cooked through, it's okay if it gets a little char. In fact, I prefer that the last one now be our steak boy. I have tons of recipes for it in all sorts of places, so I'm not going to go completely into it, but it's very simple, pat the steak dry, season it generously with salt and pepper on both sides, throw it in a very hot skillet and sear it. get a perfect brown crust on both sides flip add aromatics baste repeatedly with butter until medium rare rest the steak and cut it as thin or as thick as you like look at that beautiful medium rare I just want to kiss it or eat it now to assemble add some eggs to the tortilla, then the sliced ​​steak, a good layer of peppers and onions and a generous splash of spicy cheese sauce, wrap it carefully because the cheese is a little runny and cook it exactly the same way as before and we can pour a good look at the cross section, look at that, a perfectly cheesesteak breakfast, so obviously we have essentially a Philly breakfast burrito with cheesesteak, you guys say more, oh, wait, wait, I think we might have the show stopper here.

I don't think I've ever had a breakfast burrito so climactic and exciting to eat if the spicy cheese sauce, which is essentially a morning sauce, is more No, by the way, and you have that beautiful steak smothered in butter and the peppers and onions . it's a Philly cheesesteak but then the eggs are brought to the front of you in the morning it's time for breakfast we're enjoying our day with a cup of Joe and a Philly cheesesteak burrito next up okay I have one last option for you a breakfast chimichanga worthy of a kiss from Deadpool himself again assemble your burrito as before tortilla then your scrambled eggs various fillings of choice here I had a little seared ham a lot of grated cheddar cheese a little avocado salt in flakes obviously a good portion of Pico and then roll that guy up nice and deut and get a large cast iron skillet, fill it with oil about an inch and a half deep, heat it to 360 degrees Fahrenheit or 185 Celsius, then carefully lower the burrito seam side down and let it sit. fry for a minute or two per side or until crispy and golden, keep flipping and frying everything until perfectly crispy and golden or it might get in the way, yeah we haven't said that in a while so there you go, by the way, you It will cost a thousand dollars and then pick it up.

Take it out and let it drain on a rack set over a cooling baking sheet, you can make an easy spicy cream. All you need is a quarter cup of sour cream a quarter cup of mayonnaise two teaspoons of sambal one and a half teaspoons of smoked paprika salt to taste and two teaspoons of garlic powder mixed until well incorporated and I almost forgot, You can add a teaspoon or two of your favorite hot sauce to give it a little extra heat to assemble this guy, just place your chimney changa on a plate and give it a good drizzle of your hot cream top with a fried egg with the sunny side up some crumbled Cotija cheese some diced avocado lovingly arranged pickled onions because why not and finally garnish with fresh cilantro leaves OMG she sticks to the ground look at this beautiful creation but Can we be daring? cross section let's try it the answer is yes I mean look including the fancy egg drip omg look at this body this is a chimichanga breakfast burrito a breakfast chimichanga the chimi mo Bamba this will make your call it go, whoa, that's it.

Hamalama and no one laughed. I mean, you have the fried egg on top that joins the rest and then it likes the crispy exterior. When I say crunchy, by the way, I mean you understand that we all have that thing that we love. eating what we're not really proud to talk about. I love tempura fried makimono, the little sushi rolls rolled up and it's fried and crispy, just oily and disgusting, but it's so good at the same time, oh this is that in the format of a breakfast burrito with pickled onions and avocado and you have some homemade ingredients.

It has a freshness. You won't feel terrible after eating this, but it is very satisfying. Breakfast burrito winner. I don't know, you want to know. What else is filled with copious amounts of breakfast dreams ended up in a voluptuous void of flour and foreign grease, that's all, so we made breakfast burritos three different

ways

, ate our classic egg with bacon and cheese, some hashy brown wound. At the time we had something like a Philly cheesesteak-inspired breakfast burrito and a chimichanga-style breakfast burrito, but let me rewind real quick, a lot of people said:Josh, that's not a Philly cheesesteak, what's cool, relax, everyone in Philly gets like that. every time someone uses that term it's just inspired by the Philly cheesesteak in breakfast burrito form, that's all.

I just want to sit down, grab a bag and breathe until your heart rate goes down because everything is going to be okay these three. The breakfast burritos were fantastic. I was a big fan of each and every one, you choose your own adventure and which one you think will make you the happiest person in the world with everything said, if you enjoyed this video or learned something, leave a like, subscribe.
