*looks at websites* Literally no one knows how to make breakfast burritos properly.
I did not include ratios because like, I dunno, you probably want different proportions than I do. ;)
(If you want vegetarian, just make hashbrowns in whatever oil but probably add some chile powder, then do the rest)
@indi Okay now I'm curious what you consider the ideal of a breakfast burrito.
@indi I know my answer but it's probably a bad one :p
@starkatt I want to hear yours now. ^.^
@indi Okay so I'm gonna preface this by saying that chorizo is absolutely *correct* but outside of my dietary constraints.
Egg, cheese, green chile, hashbrowns. Salt. Small and tightly wrapped enough so that you can eat it one-handed.
@starkatt Yeah that sounds about right! I just think the 'cook in one skillet' aspect is really important. ;)
And like, I'm not surprised places here don't always have green chile in it but lots of them omit the potatoes and I'm like ????
@indi Honestly I think I've kinda imprinted on the Frontier breakfast burrito from back in Albuquerque.
When I'm camping or whatever I'll often omit the potatoes and just use salsa from a jar and still call it a breakfast burrito, but if someone sold me that I'd be pretty unhappy.
@indi In principle chunk potatoes is acceptable, but hashbrowns are definitely the superior technology.
@starkatt Yeah I think mine is basically derived from the Frontier and the NMT cafeteria. :)
@indi Y'know what I'm sad I can't get up here? Chile relleno.
@starkatt I mean you can, if you enjoy a poblano caked in breading. /s
@indi I've tried ordering it a couple times here, and yeah it's a one-way ticket to sadness.
@starkatt It is, in fairness, hard to make properly. I haven't met someone who's successfully home-cooked it. Our last attempt resulted in some pretty good green chile fritters, but. ;)
@indi Yeah it's some traditional sorcery or something.
@starkatt Maybe we should try again for Glowtide! (and default to fritters if needed) We will have carne adovada then at least, that's easy to make assuming one has time. And (vegetarian, unless one adds the carne) posole. :)
@indi I'm not actually a big fan of posole!
But yeah, I'm down.
I was just about to ask you to convince me to make another batch of green chile mac and cheese for bandaza. Not a lot of heat with this batch of chile, but the flavor is there.
@indi (I also added a bit of cayenne, red chile powder, and paprika to plus it up a bit)
@starkatt Do it do it do it! Dooooo it.
I actually make weird posole, that results from trying to make it interesting while still being vegan. Basically just the hominy, simmered with a spice blend that's mainly epazote, cumin, and cinnamon.
@indi well I guess I gotta go shopping today then :)
@indi Hm, 'cept it would use all of our remaining supply of green chile. Now I gotta think about it...
@starkatt An understandable concern!
@starkatt I have this distinct memory of one of my rare mornings up in time for breakfast (it was an exam day) and just seeing them pour the eggs over everything else on the cook surface and going "YES. My kind of cooking"
@indi Too big to actually manage is the biggest sin I tend to see when it comes to breakfast burritos. Second is potato chunks that are are awkward to eat because of a combination of excessive size and temperature.
@starkatt Ugh yes, that's worse than no potato at all come to think of it.
@indi Strong opinion ✨plush✨!
@indi Sweeeeeet, I need to try that out. Sub the shredded potatoes for something like zucchini or cauli. and serve like a burrito bowl for keto~ <3
@incatoxication Yeah I'd go with zucchini for that!
@indi What would you do for someone who shouldn't have potatoes (potassium and super simple starch reasons)
@Kyna I've seen folks talk about cauliflower hash browns, that might work?
@indi Ah, nice!
Yeah, recently found out after initial blood work for HRT that I'm diabetic.
@indi this is also how you breakfast taco properly. And you can always add bacon!
@indi Oooh. I'll try this sometime! Sounds amazing. :-)
PSA: If your breakfast burrito recipe includes 'scramble the eggs', it is wrong.
Here is how you breakfast burrito:
- Get some good chorizo.
- Fry it in pan. Don't you dare drain it.
- Remove chorizo from pan. Leave grease there. Don't touch it.
- Fry shredded potatoes in the delicious chorizo grease.
- Pour lightly beaten eggs over it all, and add the chorizo back in, along with some green chile.
- Mix it until it coalesces into a slightly crumbly foodmass.
- Serve with cheese in tortillas.
