Breakfast Burritos: A Symphony of Textures

When it comes to breakfast, few dishes can rival the satisfaction of a well-crafted burrito. The combination of tender shredded pork, soft-scrambled eggs, and creamy avocado is a match made in heaven. And the best part? It’s surprisingly easy to make.

Preparation is Key

Before you start cooking, make sure you have a batch of carnitas ready to go. This will save you time and ensure that your burritos are filled with flavorful, tender pork.

Gather Your Ingredients

To make these breakfast burritos, you’ll need:

• 4 teaspoons of olive oil
• 1 cup of shredded pork carnitas
• 2 large flour tortillas
• 4 large eggs
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup of chopped cilantro
• 1/2 large ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and sliced
• Mexican hot sauce, such as Cholula

Cooking the Carnitas and Eggs

Heat your oven to 300°F and warm 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the carnitas and cook until crispy and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

Next, warm the tortillas in the oven while you cook the eggs. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until broken up, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Warm the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil in the wiped-out frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and let them sit undisturbed until they begin to set around the edges, about 1-2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges into the center, repeating every 30 seconds until they’re softly scrambled.

Assembling the Burritos

Divide the carnitas and eggs between the warm tortillas. Top with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and a few dashes of hot sauce. Fold the short sides in and the bottom flaps up, then roll up into burritos. Serve immediately and enjoy!
