Well I was talking to my buddy Ray
sawhorseray
this morning , and he mention a breakfast burrito .
So I was telling him about one I saw on the net that I did awhile back . Trying to remember exactly how it went , I figured I'd just go in for a second round .
This is a bit different , as the tortilla is cooked on top of the eggs , the tri folded when done .
Gives it a better texture for me .
Anyway ,
3 eggs scrambled in the pan . I put 3 TBL of butter in first , so the eggs would release .
Then added some homemade turkey Chorizo I used for tacos . Bought a whole turkey for 99 cents a pound and ground it up . Taste the same , if not better than $6.00 a pound ground beef when used like this .
1940 Lodge No. 8 skillet . Passed done from my Dad's side . Been feeding my family for a lot of years .
BTW , I always add water to my scrambled eggs . It's a protein structure thing ,
plus the steam gives a soft fluffy interior .
Had a burrito sized tortilla . Had to trim about 5/8's around the outside so it would fit .
That goes on top of the raw egg mix .
Takes awhile , but you just have to wait for the eggs to
completely set . You can tip the pan , and lift the eggs to
get liquid to run underneath . Just be patient .
Then flip it over . Takes some doing , but if the eggs are set
it will work out .
Tortilla down .
Continue cooking to set the rest of the egg mixture .
The first one I did was just eggs to start . The chorizo added some grease
to the pan which was OK , but it was a bit loose .
After the bottom sets , and tortilla crisps up , I add some cheese .
It should be in the middle , but figured it would push over when folded .
First fold goes to the middle .
Then add more cheese on top of the fold , and fold the other half
on top of the first fold .
No pic , not enough hands .
Hold it down with my press .
When it holds together , I flip it again . The folds / seem are down .
There's something about this that is way better than a tortilla wrapped around
a bunch of filling . Simple . Not a bunch of fancy adds . Meat . cheese and eggs .
Didn't even need hot sauce for me , because that Chorizo really shines .
Cut shot . Great flavor , and the texture really makes it .
