The Coronado

We have discovered and closely duplicated one of the most delicious breakfast burritos, found at our local Center Street Grill, the Coronado. The food at "the grill" is yum, the prices are WAY better than ICBM (I Can Barely Move), and there's great service. Even though we make this burrito at home, we still like to go there and enjoy a Saturday morning treat before the market.

Ingredients
  • Eggs - we like to combine eggs and egg whites, it's a bit more healthy and seems to give the eggs a good texture.
  • Bacon, with salt and pepper - it wouldn't be a proper breakfast without. :)
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Tomato, diced or roughly chopped, whatever your preference
  • Cheddar Cheese, shredded
  • Cilantro (optional)
  • Tortillas - This is traditionally served with flour, we like to find a good wheat flour tortilla as well.
  • Fresh Salsa served on the side- I feel this really makes it. Make your own or invest in a store-bought version you'd find in the refrigerated section. (I have a love for the peach mango salsa)
Directions
  1. Prepare your bacon as you like. I enjoy the skillet cooking because it adds extra flavor to the eggs and it all happens in one pan.
  2. Scramble your eggs.
  3. Warm your tortilla and assemble.
This comes together quickly, is complimented well by hashbrowns or a small pancake, can be made to order and one of my favorites - can be made camping or fishing with one pan and a small stove or light fire.

*Note: We like to use turkey bacon as a replacement in some recipes, this is not a recipe to use turkey bacon. A big part of flavor in this dish is given by REAL bacon.
