I have had the best breakfast burritos of my life in New Mexico, as well. I pass by a roach coach that has killers bbs on my way to work, but I am usually by there before he opens. Good thing, too, because the mixture of eggs and spice is a guaranteed trip to Explosive Dumpland.

There is a local place called Big City Burrito that sells breakfast burritos, but they will also sell their regular burritos in the morning, so I'd rather just have one of their patented potato burritos, with black beans, green chili, ranch, and sour cream on a pesto tortilla. There is virtually nothing Mexican about this, I just wanted to give a shoutout to some good grub.

Breakfast burritos: Not Crap, 4 because nobody seems to think they should go for under $3.

Well are they big-assed breakfast burritos? Do they come with a side? I'd say $3 would be worth it if I was filled up by one to the point where wouldn't have the urge to get a pre-lunch snack or something.

Pesto tortilla, you say? Such a curiousity, I must learn more of this delicious sounding thing.

Hell yes, that sounds mighty tasty! Speaking of potatoes, I have finally learned the secret of great fried potatoes: fry them twice. The first time to cook them through at a lower temp, and the second time to make them taters nice and crispy at high temp.

Due to insane local popularity (lines down the street and around the corner at the original Fort Collins location), they have begun franchising. So, if you Mpls folks find yourselves in Sioux Falls, SD, check 'em out.

Skillet or wedge-style? I've never done the wedges, but my secret to great home fries (this and fried ham are my job when my wife and I make big breakfast) is Crisco and butter. Not just Crisco (or whatever like product you choose), but way more than you think somebody should use. Like the potato burritos, not an everyday (or everyweek) thing.

I'm talking deep-fried style, with peanut oil. No deep-frier necessary. You use a big pot with a couple inches of oil on the bottom, and you need a fryer thermometer (so you can get the temp up high without catching everything on fire). I haven't done it myself yet, but will be trying it out very soon. I got the info from French sources, so it may not work for Freedom Fries. It also helps if you have a mandolin slicer to cut the taters up all thin and square and perfect and stuff. If you want to try, I have the recipe and all.

smell the wrath of skeletor's breakfast burrito.

Bump.

I've come to the conclusion that even a bad breakfast burrito is good. Is there a thread about things that are good even when they are bad? Anyway, I've never had McDonald's breakfast burrito and if everything goes as planned, I never will, but I bet I would secretly like it.

do it, they taste pretty good.

I have a nasty little habit of eating the McSkillet breakfast burrito. It works well the day after drinking.

The way I talk on these food threads, you'd think I was 400 lbs.

I can't speak for any of the fast food type burritos, but I'm willing to believe they're awful.

One sunday morning, years ago, I stumbled drunkenly out of Scarlett's gentleman's club in New Orleans to find the sun had come up since I last looked. My friends and I proceeded to find the nearest restaurant and sat down, whereupon I ordered what ended up being the most delicious breakfast burrito I've ever had. This burrito, she was better than some regular burritos I have had, and I've eaten a lot of burritos.



You gonna tell me that's crap? You gonna be wrong.
