Lately my breakfast burritos have been leaning heavily on Jalapeno Hot Sauce.
The deliciously fiery Jalapeno Sauce can make improvised burritos taste complete even if you’re not spending much time in the kitchen.
It’s a great combo to keep in mind so I hope this post inspires you to give it a go!
How To Make Easy Breakfast Burritos with Homemade Jalapeno Sauce
I’m still in the habit of roasting potatoes in the oven for breakfast burritos — I usually just cube the potato and toss it with chile powder, salt, pepper, and oil.
But of course, feel free to cook the potatoes as you see fit.
Once the potato is in the oven you can start working on the Jalapeno Hot Sauce.
I started this batch with 5 medium-sized jalapenos — that usually comes out to about 1/2 pound worth.
And yes, using 5 jalapenos will your hot sauce HOT! If you are sensitive to spicy foods then you could always consider a milder Salsa for your burritos (like Salsa Verde).
We’ll start by cooking 1/4 onion and a peeled garlic clove in a glug of oil over medium heat.
Once the onion is starting to brown you can add the aromatics:
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano What is Mexican oregano?
1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly cracked black pepper
Stir regularly to give the spices some direct contact with the heat. Then we’ll add:
the rinsed and de-stemmed jalapenos
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup water
Bring this mixture to a boil and then add it to a blender along with:
6-8 cilantro sprigs
the juice of 1 lime
Give it a whirl and say hello to Homemade Jalapeno Sauce!
It’s a fiery sauce so consider yourself warned 🙂
I really like using this Jalapeno Sauce to make quick, improvised burritos.
So for this batch that meant I was using some of these refried beans that were already in the fridge.
I also added some diced ham to these burritos, but feel free to creative with the fixings for your burrito masterpiece!
Once the eggs were cooked and the potato was done it was time to build them. By the way, I used 6 eggs for this batch and that will usually be enough for 3 normal burritos, or 2 monster burritos 🙂
Each burrito gets:
eggs
refried beans
potatoes
ham
cheese
Roll tight and crisp up your burrito in a dry skillet over medium heat.
This final step will also melt the cheese and bring the other fixings up to temp.
Sure, you can put some Jalapeno Sauce inside the burritos, but I’m in the habit of saving it for the last moment.
So yes, each and every bite gets a few drops of the fiery, delicious Jalapeno Sauce.
That’s the key to these Easy Breakfast Burritos…
Just let the Jalapeno Sauce do all the heavy lifting while you sit back and enjoy them 🙂
