Spicy breakfast burrito

Spicy breakfast burrito

Burritos are excellent for breakfast. They keep you fuelled for a long time, the healthy way. I make a lot of them at once, wrap individually and freeze.

You can use store-bought tortillas for this. But homemade is so much better. I use this recipe of soft corn tortillas from KAF.

Instead of rolling out, I use a tortilla maker. Then cook it quickly on stovetop, in a cast iron griddle.

To make the filling, mince the chicken with seasoning. I used “Homemade Seasoning for Breakfast Sausage”, from here,

You could use any spice mix. I wanted to make some sausages too. These made very tasty, easy sausages.

Chop onion, garlic, green chillies, tomatoes and the coriander leaves. Heat the oil over high heat in a large wok. Add the chicken and fry till cooked through. Remove the chicken. Heat one tablespoon oil and sauté the onions, garlic and chillies for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and combine. Let the mixture get heated. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook till the eggs are set.

Slice the cheese. Warm the tortillas. Place the cheese in the middle and add the filling on top. Roll burrito style.

Grill the burritos if you want it crispy. If freezing, wrap in clear wrap or foil. I reheat it first in the microwave and then on a hot griddle to make it crispy. Serve with fresh salsa.
