Best Breakfast Burritos

We like to celebrate a variety of holidays with a family brunch. From birthdays to Mother’s Day – and often for no special reason, our menu is one version or another of these breakfast burritos.

These are actually great any time of day, but we regularly rely on them for our morning celebrations.

Typically I make all of the ingredients one day ahead so that assembly in the morning is extra easy. We let everyone fill their own tortillas and grill them one by one on our panini press.

Our ALWAYS ingredients include:

  • potatoes, steamed or roasted
  • some kind of beans: black beans, red beans or Smoky Spiced Beans
  • roasted red peppers, jalapeños, and onions (see below)*
  • Treeline Cheese (or nondairy plain unsweetened yogurt)
  • salsa or hot sauce

And USUALLY a few (but not all) of these extras:

  • roasted cauliflower
  • roasted zucchini
  • steamed or sautéed greens
  • roasted sweet potatoes
  • roasted asparagus
  • steamed corn
  • quinoa
  • avocado or guacamole
  • shredded lettuce
  • chopped tomatoes
  • hummus
  • mustard
  • microgreens

Here’s my recipe with all of our basic building blocks. Think of this as your template. Add and subtract – mix and match – absolutely anything that suits your fancy!

Instructions

Preheat panini press.

Fill tortilla with your choice of ingredients. Fold and tuck the tortilla over the filling ingredients, to tightly roll it closed.

Carefully place onto surface of hot panini press. Close lid, and grill for 5 or 6 minutes. When crispy outside, use a spatula to carefully remove from heat.

Slice panini in half, serve with condiments or toppings of your choice and enjoy!

*Roasted Peppers, Jalapeños, and Onions

1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded, and minced
1 sweet onion, diced
salt and pepper, and Cajun or Creole Seasoning, to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add peppers, jalapeño, and onions to a nonstick roasting pan. Roast uncovered for 15 minutes, then stir gently, and add a splash of water if needed to avoid sticking. Continue to roast for another 10 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Remove from oven, season to taste, and set aside.
