Breakfast Burrito from Mexico : Day 17 of 30 Days 30 Breakfasts 30 Countries
4
Everyone have their so easy to prepare and goto recipes, I too have few of them, Burrito is one of them. Burritos are best way to use whatever leftovers like mixed vegetables, paneer in any form, eggs , potato , practically any thing leftover you have in your refrigerator.
Even if I do not have any leftovers, I do not mind making the filling afresh for these flavourful, spicy hot and so cheesy Mexican breakfast burrito. Best thing about them is just throw whatever you like in a skillet and roll it all up in a soft tortilla for a scrumptious breakfast.
These burritos are stuffed with crumbled paneer{you can use ricotta cheese if paneer is not available}, corn kernels, onion mushroom and spices. Sometimes I like to use shredded veggies with some mozzarella and boiled eggs; you can use any filling of your choice with some melting cheese.
They even make a nice and filling lunch or dinner with any green salad or you can have greens as a part of filling to make it a complete meal out of it. If you are on low carb diet just replace the whole wheat tortilla with low carb tortilla (available in markets).
I like to make my tortilla at home (Try them they are so easy and tastes so different from the store ones (recipe here). When I prepared Norwegian lefse yesterday I saved some because I had a feeling, that they are going to work beautifully with the burrito filling which I had in mind for today’s breakfast, and work ? They were awesome!
One more thing which I emphasise is avoiding use of too many spices in the filling; I use just pablano chillies if I get them or simply crushed red peppers with some oregano to perk them up and of course a generous serving of hot salsa just before rolling them up.
This post is part of my 30 days 30 breakfasts from 30 Countries about the event so that in case you also want to take up the challenge you have some time to shop for it. This shopping list can help you to plan and buy ingredients for a week’s breakfast.
