The Perfect Breakfast Burrito (3 Ways)

so we know our classic breakfast eggs bacon toast bed why not just take all of our favorite parts of a breakfast and put them in a tortilla to make the greatest burrito of all time [Music] okay so today we are making breakfast burritos but not just any breakfast burrito the perfect breakfast burrito the one that makes you call your mom and say hey come over because we have breakfast burritos that doesn't really it's something you got to call somebody about it because it's so good i don't know so we're gonna make three different kinds three different levels one of them will be a chimichanga style so with all that said let's make this shall we listen up really quickly i gotta say something the apron sold out in less than 24 hours i know a lot of you still want aprons so i just want to let you know that we've restocked them they're back very limited quantity this is the last run of it so if you do want an apron please get one now anyway thank you guys for the support and thank you so much for selling it out so fast it means a lot to me and i'm honestly pretty shocked by it so anyway on to the recipe all right let's start off with some basics here first off tortillas if you've been around here long enough you know how i feel about store bought papa says big no no making your own flour burrito-sized tortilla is extremely easy and i'm using the same recipe that's in my chipotle burrito video link in the description for that it's simple you mix the dough you let it rest a little slap it around divide and roll it into burrito-sized circles and then just pop them in a hot skillet flip and that right there is a beautiful tortilla okay so we got tortillas but there's one more thing we gotta cross off the list before we jump into making and assembling these that is your lovely scrambled egg ah yes this is the internet's favorite thing to pretend that they know something about look a soft scramble would be nice but functionality wise it just won't do unless you wanted to fart out the other end we also don't want to overcook our eggs instead what i'd recommend is to do what i'll call a medium scramble form with functionality first start off with a non-stick skillet add in 3 tablespoons or 42 grams of unsalted butter place it on the stove over medium heat and once that butter is hot and bubbling crack eight eggs and whisk them together in a bowl until thoroughly combined no salt yet now add your eggs to the pan and immediately begin stirring them as these cook you're essentially just going to continuously stir sometimes i'll let the egg sit for a few seconds and cook on the bottom then stir it all in that's really all you gotta do just continue stirring and cooking over medium heat until they're just cooked through and hold together on a spatula but aren't complete rubber they should look like this then just season them to taste with salt and pepper and that is your scramble this will fill about four burritos now burrito number one is a classic bacon egg and cheese here i have some home cured and smoked bacon i made not too long ago but obviously you can go to the store and buy some i prefer making it because i can control the thickness but otherwise find the thickest bacon you can you'll need six to eight glorious slices i cut mine so thick that i decided to go ahead and slice it into lardons but you can also leave it whole in a single slice then just place those bad boys on a foil and baking sheet and toss into a cold oven that's completely off close the door and set your oven to 450 fahrenheit let those guys cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until beautifully browned and lightly crisp the other option would be to cook it in a pan if you prefer now to make a simple pico get yourself a small bowl and add one large ripe tomato that's been diced one diced jalapeno you can leave the seeds in or leave them out depends on how spicy you want it half of a finely diced sweet onion a large handful of finely chopped cilantro and the juice and zest of one lime oh and a nice little glug of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste for the flex now give that a nice mix until thoroughly combined if you want to take it a step further you can also make a quick hash brown you'll need one to two large russet potatoes peeled completely grated on a cheese grater give them a little rinse under water and then place them in a hand towel to wring out as much moisture as possible you want them dry then all you need is a medium sized skillet coated with enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan heat it over medium heat and once it's hot press in your potatoes let it cook for about three to four minutes then flip and repeat on the other side until cooked through and crispy on both sides now i bet that mcdonald's hash brown recipe i made would also be dope now to assemble snag yourself a purty looking tortilla put down a decent layer of your scrambled egg or as much as you like then hit it with your big old chunky bacon i don't know i'm feeling a real southern drawl today around two slices per burrito some grated medium sharp cheddar and optionally you can melt this with a kitchen torch because culinary height beast top it with some of your pika de gayo and then layer on your hash browns to cover the entire thing almost like the roof to your house but potatoes now channel your best burrito rolling skills roll that fatty up by folding in the edges while rolling it up from the bottom until tightly wound like this be careful not to tear it obviously once it's closed then just griddle that in a dry non-stick pan set over medium heat for about one to two minutes per side just to get the tortilla heated back up and lightly toasty then get yourself a lovely cross section and look at that hash browns cheese pico cradled in a ring of velvety scrambled eggs okay so burrito number one look at that i mean this is just a picture-perfect burrito this is the kind that you see at the gas station well that's not a very good comparison this is the artwork you see in the packaging at the gas station which is so perfect and they have that perfect little cross section it's got like jalapenos bursting out but in reality nobody knows what it is toasted griddled homemade tortillas this is a very reminiscent moment of the breakfast sandwich video but in the form of a burrito it's all coming to me all the flavors that is fireworks babies singing the hashbrowns getting your gums so it makes it kind of hard to talk because then there's like a little hash brown like what's up chewy toasted tortilla the eggs are cooked perfectly they're salty and buttery and silky then you've got that like classic soft fluffy potato with a crispy outside hash brown and a little bit of some plants for nutrients and we can pretend that it's healthy because it has pika in it this is a beautiful breakfast burrito let's move on to the next one next burrito is a bit of a step up let's say sort of a steak and eggs meets the inspiration of a philly cheesesteak uh emphasis on inspiration okay calm down philly people all right it's not a cheesesteak i know anyway let's start off with our spicy mornay sauce which is just a fancy term for cheese sauce begin by melting 4 tablespoons or 56 grams of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan set over medium heat once that's completely melted whisk in 4 tablespoons or 60 grams of all-purpose flour keep whisking and cooking for about 30 seconds then gradually whisk in one and a half cups or 350 milliliters of whole milk keep heating and mixing it just until that's thickened then whisk in one and a half cups or 225 grams of grated gruyere cheese then just keep whisking until it's completely melted then turn the heat off and whisk in two and a half teaspoons of cayenne powder half a teaspoon of fresh grated nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste now just place it to the side and keep it warm for the peppers and onions it's simple heat a pan with three tablespoons of 42 grams of olive oil over medium-high heat then once that's ripping hot add in one sliced red bell pepper one sliced green bell pepper and one yellow onion also well sliced season that to taste with salt and just cook for about seven minutes stirring and tossing occasionally until it's cooked through it's okay if you get a little bit of char i actually prefer that now last is our steaky boy i have tons of recipes for that in all sorts of places so i'm not going to get completely into it but it's real simple dry your steak season it generously with salt and pepper on both sides toss it in a screaming hot pan and sear it to get a perfect brown crust on both sides flip add aromatics baste repeatedly with butter just until it reaches medium rare rest the steak and cut it as thin or as thick as you like look at that beautifully medium rare i just want to kiss it or eat it now to assemble hit your tortilla with some eggs then your sliced steak a nice layer of your peppers and onions and a generous drizzle of your spicy cheese sauce wrap that up carefully because the cheese is a little runny and griddle it the exact same way as before and we can get a good look at the cross section look at that a perfectly cheesy steak breakfast so obviously we've got essentially a philly cheesesteak breakfast burrito you guys say more oh wait hold up whoa i think we might have the showstopper here i don't think i've ever had a breakfast burrito this climactic and exciting to eat it's a spicy cheese sauce which is essentially a morning sauce more nay by the way and you've got that beautiful butter basted steak and the peppers and onions it's like philly cheesesteak but then the eggs bring you to the front of the morning it's breakfast time we're enjoying our day with a cup of joe and a philly cheese steak burrito next one okay i've got one last option for you a breakfast chimichanga worthy of a kiss from deadpool himself again assemble your burrito as before tortilla then your scrambled egg various fillings of choice here i had some seared ham lots of grated cheddar cheese some avocado flaky salt obviously a nice helping of pico then roll that guy up nice and toit and get a large cast iron pan fill it with oil about one and a half inches deep heat that to 360 degrees fahrenheit or 185 celsius then carefully lower in your burrito seam side down and let it fry for one to two minutes per side or until crisp and golden keep flipping and frying the whole darn thing until it's perfectly crispy and browned or quit bee in the way yeah we haven't said that in a while so there you go that'll be a thousand dollars by the way then pull it out and let it drain on a wire rack set over baking sheet while that's cooling you can make an easy spicy crema all you need is a quarter cup of sour cream a quarter cup of mayo two teaspoons of sambal one and a half teaspoons of smoked paprika salted taste and two teaspoons of garlic powder mixed together till thoroughly incorporated and i almost forgot you can add a teaspoon or two of your favorite hot sauce for some additional heat to assemble this guy simply plate up your chimichanga give it a nice drizzle of your spicy crema top with a fried sunny-side up egg some crumbled cotija cheese some diced avocado arranged lovingly pickled onions because why not and finally garnish with fresh cilantro leaves my oh my she sticks the land look at this lovely creation but can we get a sessy cross section let's give it a shot the answer is yes i mean look at including the classy egg drip good god look at this i want that in my body this is a chimichanga breakfast burrito a chimichanga a breakfast chimichanga the chimi bom mo bamba this is gonna make your llama go whoa that's hama llama and nobody laughed i mean you've got the fried egg on top which like runs into the rest of it and then like the crispy exterior and i say crispy by the way i mean you understand we all have that one thing that we love to eat that we're not really proud to talk about i love tempur-fried makimono little sushi rolls it's rolled up and it's tempur-fried and crispy and like just oily and nasty but it's so good at the same time oh this is that in the format of a breakfast burrito with the pickled onions and the avocado and you have some homemade ingredients in this there is a freshness to it you won't feel horrible after eating this but it is so satisfying breakfast burrito winter i don't know you want to know what else is filled with copious amounts of breakfast dreams wound up into a voluptuous void of flour and fat [Music] b-roll [Music] all right guys and that is it so we made breakfast burritos three different ways we had our classic bacon egg and cheese a little bit of hashy wound in there and then we had sort of like a philly cheesesteak inspired breakfast burrito and a chimichanga style breakfast burrito but let me rewind real quick a lot of people were like josh that's not a philly cheesesteak what is that okay relax everybody from philly gets so angry whenever someone uses that term it's just inspired by philly cheesesteak in the form of a breakfast burrito that's all it is why don't you just take a seat grab a bag and just breathe in it until your heart rate goes down because it's gonna be fine these three breakfast burritos were fantastic i was a big fan of each and every one you pick and choose your own adventure and which one you think will make you the happiest person alive with all that said if you enjoyed this video or you learned something leave a like subscribe and i will see you next time also do i look like lord farquaad or i feel like i do with this new haircut it'll grow back up that's fine you
