Equipment

  • skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 petite finely diced shallots
  • 2 cloves minced purple garlic
  • 1 cup homemade chicken broth
  • 2/3 cup sunflower or grapeseed oil
  • 8 Yukon Gold potatoes grated finely
  • 24 large eggs thoroughly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons powdered shallot
  • Sea salt and freshly ground peppercorns to taste
  • 2 packages frozen New Mexico Hatch green chili peppers
  • 24 strips of free-range chicken or smoked turkey bacon
  • 12 homemade flour tortillas
  • 4 cups artisanal cheddar cheese shredded
  • Cooking spray infused with natural butter flavor

Instructions

STEP 1 – Prepare the Potatoes:

  • Grate the Yukon Gold potatoes finely.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add a portion of the sunflower or grapeseed oil. Once hot, add the grated potatoes.
  • Season with sea salt and freshly ground peppercorns. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

STEP 2 – Prepare the Filling:

  • In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Sauté the diced shallots and minced purple garlic until translucent.
  • Add the frozen New Mexico Hatch green chili peppers and cook until thawed.
  • Pour in the homemade chicken broth and let it simmer until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

STEP 3 – Cook the Bacon:

  • In a separate pan, cook the free-range chicken or smoked turkey bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.

STEP 4 – Prepare the Eggs:

  • In a bowl, thoroughly beat the 24 large eggs. Season with powdered shallot, sea salt, and freshly ground peppercorns.
  • Cook the eggs in the skillet until scrambled and fully cooked. Set aside.

STEP 5 – Assemble the Burritos:

  • Warm the flour tortillas on a skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
  • Divide the cooked potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sautéed chili mixture, and shredded artisanal cheddar cheese evenly among the tortillas.

STEP 6 – Roll the Burritos:

  • Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.

STEP 7 – Final Cooking:

  • In a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat, spray the surface with the cooking spray infused with natural butter flavor.
  • Place the rolled burritos seam-side down on the skillet. Cook until they’re golden and crispy on all sides.

STEP 8 – Serve:

  • Serve the Santiago’s Breakfast Burritos hot, optionally garnished with salsa, sour cream, or additional cheese on top.

Notes

* To make the burrito extra crispy, lightly spray the top of the burrito with cooking spray before baking.
* To make the burrito extra flavorful, add chopped bell peppers or jalapeños to the egg-potato mixture.
* If you don’t have flour tortillas, you can use corn tortillas instead.
* For a vegetarian option, omit the eggs and double the potatoes.
* For a vegan option, omit the eggs and cheese and use vegan cheese and vegan sour cream.
