Easy Breakfast Burrito with Homemade Jalapeno Sauce
Report
Lately my breakfast burritos have been leaning heavily on Jalapeno Hot Sauce. It's a great combo to keep in mind so I hope this post inspires you to give it a go!

Ingredients
- 5-6 eggs
- 1 potato
- 1/2 cup refried beans
- 1/2 cup ham
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2-3 flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
For the Jalapeno Hot Sauce:
- 5 jalapenos (1/2 lb. worth)
- 1/4 onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
- 6-8 cilantro sprigs
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- If you want to roast the potatoes in the oven, start by rinsing and cubing a single potato. Add the cubed potato to a mixing bowl along with a glug of olive oil, freshly cracked black pepper, a generous pinch of salt (up to 1/2 teaspoon), and 1-2 teaspoons chile powder (optional). Mix well and then form a single layer of the potatoes on a baking sheet (I use parchment paper to prevent sticking). Bake them in the oven (400F) for 30-40 minutes.
- For the Jalapeno Hot Sauce start by giving the jalapenos a good rinse and de-stem them. Note: it's always best to use caution when handling hot chiles, so be sure to wash your hands after handling them. More info on handling hot chiles.
- Saute a roughly chopped 1/4 onion and a whole, peeled garlic clove in a glug of oil over medium heat. Once the onion is browning you can add 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, some freshly cracked black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Briefly cook until fragrant and then add: the de-stemmed jalapenos, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer and then add everything to a blender along with the juice of 1 lime and 6-8 cilantro sprigs. Combine well and give it a taste!
- For the eggs, I scrambled 6 whisked eggs in a knob of butter over mediumish heat along with a generous pinch of salt. Sometimes I will saute some finely chopped onion and jalapeno before adding the whisked eggs, but for this batch I used just the eggs.
- Gather the other fixings. For this batch that meant: grabbing some of these refried beans from the fridge, shredding 1 cup of Jack cheese, and dicing up some cooked ham.
- To build the burritos I usually start by warming up the tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat -- this will make them easier to roll. Then each tortilla gets refried beans, eggs, potatoes, cheese and ham. You can optionally add some Jalapeno Hot Sauce to the insides of the burritos. Roll tight and crisp up your burrito over medium heat in a dry skillet -- this final step will also melt the cheese and bring the other fixings up to temp.
- Serve up your breakfast burritos next to some of the delicious Jalapeno Sauce so you have the option of adding a few drops to each and every bite :)
