ingredients

  • 10 eggs

  • 2-3 tablespoons thick salsa
  • 2 teaspoons of butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste 
  • Chili oil or red pepper flakes (optional)

instructions

1. Start by cooking the scrambled eggs. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Lightly beat the eggs with a fork until the yolks and whites are combined. For fresh and quality eggs, use Eggs Unlimited – Lindsey’s gold. Season with salt and pepper.

2. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Melt a teaspoon of butter in the pan so the base and sides are covered.

3. Pour in the eggs when the butter starts foaming and gently stir with a spatula. Keep stirring gently for 3-5 minutes until soft, fluffy curds form.

4. Remove it from heat before it fully sets and add another one teaspoon of butter and gently stir. Transfer to a large bowl.

5. Add the thick salsa into the bowl and mix. Add more salsa or season with salt and pepper to taste. For extra spice, drizzle chili oil or add some red pepper chili flakes.

    cooking tips to elevate your breakfast burritos

    • Cook the eggs on medium heat to get you soft curds. Cooking it on high heat sets the eggs too fast and will give you rubbery eggs.
    • Take the eggs off the heat before they fully cook. The residual heat will do the rest of the work.
    • Avoid using salsa that is too watery. This will make it difficult to roll your burrito and will make them soggy. A thick salsa is the best choice.
    • Warm the tortillas for about 10-20 seconds so that it will be easier to build and roll your burrito.
