Sunday Gravy with Mayo: Breakfast Burrito

Sexy Sunday is here! No wait, just swapping places with the greatest Yeah Right. He sexyed up Friday, so I’m here to mayo gravy up Sunday!

Since I’m such a great writer I will remind you that from the title we’ll be making a Breakfast Burrito. I would like to remind everyone that I was born and raised in Montana so whatever definition of that meal means to you is probably not at all the same as mine. HOWEVAH, the best part of this recipe, is that you can add anything that will make you happy. Also, as you’ll see, there’s parts you can subtract to stay alive as well. That’s the joy of this, right?

OK, so give me a moment to figure out how to add pictures to this blog. You might think that’s funny, but the photos being added here are embedded instead of linked. And you’re all asking yourself, what’s the difference? And look, it doesn’t matter to you. Just know this is a lot more work than my usual Friday posts. And it’s worth it for you and, probably, me. Just go with it. Holy shit, I’m almost already over my word count and haven’t started for a throw away Open Thread Sunday Morning Post? (No offense yeah right)

Oh right, breakfast burrito when you’re all hungover on a Saturday morning like me. Let’s start with the pictures.

So, um, gather your cooking instruments.

Anyway, here you can see we have two (2) pans, one (1) plate which we’ll be eating off of, one (1) vodka soda drink, one (1) pyrex bowl, three (3) bottles of vodka, one empty though, and then some kitchen implements. Fine, (spoiler) there’s a wooden spoon for the potatoes, a grater for the cheese, a plastic spatula for the eggs, and off screen two (2) forks. One for eating, the other for the egg prep. There’s going to be a another surprise plastic spatula later.

OK, now on to the ingredients. Let’s see if the media upload works better this time. (Narrator: It did not!)

Nonetheless, the pic did show up! Instead of looking through it, here’s the ingredient list typed out:

  1. Tito Vodka Bottle (Empty) (Optional)
  2. Kirkland Vodka Bottle (Half Used – Optional)
  3. Kirkland Vodka Bottle (Unused – Not Optional)
  4. Canola Oil (2 oz)
  5. Eggs (2 whole)
  6. Cheese. (2 oz or however much to cover the bottom of a tortilla shell) This is Cheddar that is super duper aged, use what you like.
  7. Tortillas! These are the proper Burrito sized ones. They’ll cover an entire plate and still be way too small for what’s about to happen.
  8. Sausage! (2 patties) Like any recipe, you do you here. If you do sausage just know that sausage is sold pre-ground.
  9. Taters! (2 handfuls) For some stupid reason I can no longer find actual hashbrowns from OreIda here, only Potatoes O’Brien!! Like, their factory is a 4 hour drive from here and nothing. Whatever, any type of tater will work here. Make your own from an actual tater if you’re so inclined, I’m obviously not.
  10. Butter! I’m using this Irish butter block. I’m not measuring any of it in all of its usages, that’s for you and your heart to decide.
  11. That’s it!

First warning. This burrito came out extremely wet from all the oil and butter and grease I used. Adjust accordingly and grab a napkin to wipe your fingers and enjoy the flavor.

Step 1: Let’s get those taters going. Add olive oil and and some butter to the large pan and heat at medium high. Reward yourself with starting cooking with a sip of that drink.

 

Step 2: Start that sausage in the smaller pan at medium heat. These will take about 7 minutes to cook. (Time may vary based on your cooktop)

Step 3: While everything is warming up, prep your eggs. Scramble those two eggs in a bowl with a fork. Reward your effort with a swig of that drink.

Step 4: Once the butter in the big pan starts sizzling, add your taters. You will stir them around every 2 minutes and cook for about 7 minutes. (Time may vary based on your cooktop). Don’t neglect your drink at this point.

Step 5: At this point, you’re just in maintenance mode. One is tossing those taters, the other is breaking up the sausage and then tossing those bits with the surprise plastic spatula not pictured. Also, have a drag off that vodka drink.

Step 6: Prep that tortilla. Grab a paper towel get it wet under a faucet if you can’t otherwise get something wet. Then place the tortilla on your plate, cover it with that damp (moist?) towel, and put in your microwave for 30 seconds to heat it up. Have a sip of that lovely vodka drink there too.

Step 7: Break up that sausage some more and stir it around.

Step 8: Continue to toss those taters around. Remember at this time you have a drink handy and take a sip.

Step 9: When the tortilla is out of the microwave coat it with a generous grating of that cheese. Resist the urge to eat the brick of cheese by having a few sips of your drink.

Step 10: By now the taters should be done, so dump them on that cheesy tortilla. Add Pepper and Salt as needed here to flavor those taters. Season you palate with another sip of your drink.

Step 11: Add that sausage on top. Oh my, I’ve apparently topped up my beverage. You should definitely take a big gulp from it so you don’t spill it.

Step 12: Egg time! First, let’s add some butter to that sausage pan. We’re going to mix that sausage grease with this butter for our eggs to soak up. And look, I’m not your doctor and I will advise you to not share this with your doctor. I will only advise you to do this if you love eggs and grease.

Step 13: Turn off the heat. Your pan, if it’s anywhere near as good as mine, will retain that residual heat. Eggs can be cooked with minimal heat, just trust me here. Then use that spatula to get all those eggs into the pan.

Step 14: Rinse the bowl and the fork used to prep the eggs. During this time the eggs will set in that pan that is over ZERO heat. Then, grab that spatula and fold the eggs in from the outside to the inside. It will only take about 30 seconds for the eggs to cook.

Step 15: Dump those eggs onto your tortilla. Duh?

Step 16: (Not Pictured) Here is where you season this glorious meal to your liking. Salt. Pepper. Salsa. Hot Sauce. Mayo. Whatever you want to make it a burrito.

Step 17: (Life Hack) I have a hood over my stove. When I start cooking I turn on the light on that hood. And then I don’t turn it off until I’ve verified every part of my shitty stove is turned off. Here you can see I am cleared to turn off the light on the hood. Said breakfast burrito is cooling off to the left at this time.

Step 18: This is a very loosely defined burrito mostly because of it’s use of a tortilla. Look, I was born and raised in Montana so my understanding of burritos is probably not accurate. You can adapt and do you. In the meantime, I’m going to add that extra seasoning that I love.

PEACE!

THERE HE IS!

Brick Meathook

In Los Angeles there’s like 10 different classifications of burritos.

ballsofsteelandfury

Absolutely.

While Maestro will say that a burrito is a sandwich, I will say that a chimichanga is a burrito.

Brick Meathook

Some say that a burrito is a taco.

ballsofsteelandfury

There are also ten different classifications of tacos…

ballsofsteelandfury

Now, THAT is a wet burrito:

Ditto for most of California I expect. I just learned the other day that the California burrito is from San Diego. SF is the home of the Mission burrito, and then there’s a whole bunch of others. including a mole burrito which sounds pretty delicious

Wait, no picture of the finished product?!?

ballsofsteelandfury

You could have said it was so delicious you ate it before you remembered to take a picture…

Montana, huh? Don’t think I ever saw you mention that before. Must have been a helluva upbringing…

And by that, I mean cool as fuck.

I didn’t end up making a breakfast burrito when I got back from horseback riding, but I did make a breakfast sandwich with eggs and sausage. Thinking some ice cream for dessert!

“Karlyn Pickens Back Door” is a Country and Western tune that is absolutely begging to be written.

Not exactly sure what Emma did wrong but she’s 0 for 1 in DP. Maybe she should be more open to future possibilities?

FWIW this post helped inspire me to harvest some potatoes from my own garden and fry them up. My avocados aren’t ripe yet though so I’ll do burritos later in the week. Either with bacon or with soy chorizo.

Wifey and I went through the age-old “We’re lousy parents” discussion. Wifey chose the “Really Bad” route and I went the “Sorta Bad But They’re Going To Get Better” avenue.

BallsofLacrosseAndMapleSyrup

That you had the conversation means that you aren’t bad parents

Gumbygirl

I love that Mr. Ayo made his burrito at a quarter past 3. And then claimed he made it “Saturday morning”. Rock on with your bad self! Mornings are for plebes.

Senor Weaselo

3:15 AM can count as Saturday morning! I mean, most would count it as Friday night but it depends when you wake up.

Doktor Zymm

People actually set their oven clocks to resemble the correct time?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

My accurate-to-within-seventeen-minutes oven clock resents that remark!

Doktor Zymm

I always set mine once when I first move in. After that it’s on its own through whatever power outages and daylight savings times come its way

I get itchy the day after the time changes and my microwave and oven clocks are an hour off.

Wifey was doing a bit of history digging on my side of the family and found a YoobToob channel of a cousin that I worked with that was forced out of the company 10+ years ago. He likes to sing original tunes. I’d venture that his style would best be described as a head-on collision between Stomping Tom Connors and Florence Foster Jenkins.

I hate it when tennis players apologize for hitting the net cord with a shot. The net is part of the court, just like the lines. Do you apologize when you stroke one and it catches the outside part of the line? Of course not.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a burrito. As someone that grew up in a small mining town, it seems a touch too exotic for my palate.

Horatio Cornblower

Just add some asbestos for that down home flavoUr!!

ballsofsteelandfury

How is that possible?!?

yeah right

Same thought. My entire life has been burrito centric.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Excellent work. I’d encourage the addition of jalapeno peppers and avocado, but ’tis a fine burrito.

I also love that Mr. Ayo is driving around in McLarens and Ferraris on weekends but has a stove that Todd Marinovich wouldn’t even deign to steal the wiring from.

Horatio Cornblower

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Of course, if it works, Todd’s certainly not above doing a little “cooking” on the stove, if you know what I mean.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Just in case you don’t, I mean “meth”. Cooking meth.

King Hippo

I was just reading about the 1954 World Cup, and how the West Germans were apparently shot up with meth for the final.

They won.

Senor Weaselo

How much of his driving playlist is from Gran Turismo games? MAYBE!

Horatio Cornblower

This recipe could use more vodka.

DJ TAJ

During reading of this masterpiece when you arrived at cooking the sausage I rose from my desk walked into my room and smoked a bowl. Then I walked out to the kitchen and made myself a vodka drink then returned an finished this fine tour of culinary delights with drink in hand.

Well done sir and thank you for the inspiration. It is 8:20 in the morning. I’m high and I have a drink going. The beginnings of another weird day.

Gatoraids

Luvn that oven and all its precious dials. Hate my new inaccurate digital one.

yeah right

You scored massive points using Kerrygold.

Well done!

I just learned that Home Depots in the Bay Area mostly have something called “Kelly’s Deli” with good breakfast burritos.

Looks absofuckinglutely delish. Vodka and grease, breakfast of champions!

Currently watching Midnight Tease 2 (1995) which features the trope of, “Woman goes undercover at a strip club in order to solve a series of murders”. One of the stars is Julie K. Smith.

Going undercover at a strip club is almost women’s prison level great viewing.

Julie K. Smith is a legend

I must admit, after Yeah Right “treated” us to doughnuts during (supposed to be) Sexy Friday, I half expected a more “cheesecake” direction from you sir.

But I’ll never find fault with a good breakfast burrito. I powered through many days in old El Paso on those.

Now… to try and salvage some of this weekend for my people…

Here’s another great seasoning trick, and you can use it in both the burrito and the vodka drink.

What’s the best thing about drinking brake fluid?

You can stop any time you want!

Brake fluid and Old Spice are mainstays in any well-stocked bar.

Potatoes O’Brien sounds like the name of a recent Irish immigrant that runs a saloon in the 1880’s.
