​@matthewchunk3689 im originally from California but NM really does have a variety of burritos.

[@rich6246]

Grew up in SoCal & the Central Valley with breakfast burritos & now live in TX where everything is all about the breakfast tacos. Both amazing. No complaints. ❤️

[@misterbennnn]

The thing I miss most from Texas is fresh tortillas. Arnie's videos always make me hungry and nostalgic.

[@yvonneobregon8338]

I love your energy for the show. It a lot of work. Thank you

[@misterbennnn]

My breakfast burritos are: Cook sausage, put aside Cook diced vegetables (onion, bell pepper, maybe poblano or jalapeno, depending on if my wife/kids are eating them) Add diced potatoes Cook for ~10-15 minutes, covered, until soft Add sausage Add scrambled (not yet cooked) eggs Heat until eggs are cooked Serve on tortillas with cheese and salsa

[@imtired6104]

New Mexican here, I love green chile, steamed potatoes, eggs, bacon, sometimes whole pintos, and either longhorn or just cheddar cheese. I am drooling as I type this, sooo good!

Ánimo Tío Arnie. Coincidentally I made a Burrito earlier today to eat, mine consisted of frijoles Fritos (fried beans) arroz rojo (red rice) cebolla (onion), cilantro, salsa roja (red sauce), queso Oaxaca (Oaxaca cheese, Sonoran style tortilla de arina (flour tortilla Sonaran Style) on a Comal (Griddle) 🌯

[@RobertDolson]

@ArnieTex thank you for your videos! You do a great job! I live in West Texas, I call them Burritos. My burrito of choice I have nicknamed “Rancho Verde” Bacon- double order Eggs Cheese Potatoes Beans Pico De Gallo & Avocados P.S. your red salsa with chile de arbol was a big hit yesterday for my fajitas!!

[@palvarez83]

Great vid Arnie. One thing about the rolling. The way your folded the burritos is what I see in most placesing in texas (folding over the end after rolling. Most places in California, whill fold the ends in first, then roll the burrito. It is tighter, neater, and won't open up/leak on it's own. Cheers.

[@rrice4457]

I’ve been working in Pecos for most of my 25 yr career, La Fiesta has my favorite burrito, the pancho villa! Great barbacoa and michelada also!

[@sprocketholer1]

Arnie, The first time I had a breakfast burrito I was working on a film and the caterer would make breakfast burritos for the crew in the morning. It was churrizo, eggs, cheddar cheese and sometimes diced potatoes. Thirty years later, that's still my favorite way to have a breakfast burrito.

[@hazmatforhumanity7318]

I have been learning so much from this channel. I have lately been saving any hashbrowms i have left over when we go out to breakfast on the weekends and mixing that with eggs, onion, tomatoes, diced jalapeños and I add some pablano crema that I made watching some of the things I learned on here. I am obsessed with pablanos lately.

[@toniafelecia3709]

Arnie I love your recipes and I still make your mamas Mexican rice ❤ I’m not able to do any cooking right now but as soon as my situation turns for the better I know that I can open up your channel and find something delicious.

Chorizo, egg's, and Pico for breakfast! I make it every year at Deer Camp here in Michigan!! 😊

[@johnmuldoon79]

so glad that there are salsa lovers out there in the world!

[@beardoodle9835]

I was born and raised (and spent most of my life) in Central Texas and South Texas, but have lived in NorCal for the past 2 decades. I had to get used to ordering breakfast burritos instead of breakfast tacos, but I love it all! The Mexican cuisines are different between the two states, but both are really good, and when I go back to Texas to visit my family, you know I'm going all out on everything I miss or can't get here. 😋 One thing I really love about CA Mexican food is the huge variety of seafood dishes that are different from the kind you can get on the Gulf. But, on the other hand, I really miss well, everything from South Texas. Like I said, both are good, I love it all! 😂❤

[@AngieBega]

Yes bacon fat is key to delucious refried beans or manteca my nana had a tub of it lol thats how she used to cook back then and i miss it anything cooked in bacon fat is delicious😀👍

[@jeffbenton7148]

Love to hear the shout out to West Texas! When I was a kid my grandpa drove a mail truck and whenever there was a school holiday my little brother and I would tag along with him and Pecos was on his route. Had some pretty memorable camping trips out to the Pecos River and Fort Davis too. You're making me jealous with that big plancha set up though! Love your videos, Arnie!

[@xthemadplumberx7110]

Okay, a great big lead on video content. My wife, who isn’t the best cook, ehh, she’s really not. She saw on tic tok that HEB now has hybrid corn-flour tortillas. She fried some chicken fluatas last night with these tortillas and they were absolutely delicious. It was a job very well done. These tortillas are game changers and a smart investor would try to put money behind the product. Freaking awesome taste.

[@Trumpetmaster77]

Absolutely fantastic Arnie! Deliciousness!

[@DBat-sp1tp]

I’m from No CA and I grew up eating burritos like the second one you featured with refried beans, eggs, meat and salsa. Papas too. My favorite way to make burritos is with corned beef hash with potatoes and eggs. My grandma used to make them for my grandfather for work but she used canned corned beef. They were definitely delicious but nothing beats a homemade corned beef brisket burrito. My husband and his family are always asked me to make them.

[@domenickalonzo4679]

It’s funny how everything considered California style includes avocado. Sushi, burgers, burritos…. I’m from Nor Cal. Stockton to be exact and they’re good no doubt but not on everything. My ideal Mexican breakfast is chorizo eggs beans and potatoes served with or in a flour tortilla. Damn.. now im hungry. Thanks a lot Arnie! Goes my diet.

[@AcidGlow]

Muy rico burrito. 🌯🌯🙂

[@The_Original_Big_Daddy]

Arnie, back in the day when I worked in the Aerospace industry, Irma on our food truck made the breakfast burrito of your dreams! Equal parts bacon, ham, and skin-on breakfast sausage links, crispy hash browns, eggs, and some pico de gallo. Probably the best thing I have ever tasted.

[@marvinshenk]

I lived in SF from 1998-2002. The burritos were huge and usually about $5. I moved to LA in 2002, and the first place I went to was Burrito King. Awesome breakfast burritos. Eggs, Crispy Greasy Hash Browns, Bacon, and Avocado. Back in 2002, probably $5 as well. Excellent hangover breakfast option.

[@The_Timinator]

I'm from the "Old" 714 Orange County California, those first small Burritos 2:39 were on our Lunch Trucks from the late 70's, they would fry them for you fresh and serve them in a paper tray and you could ask for Sour Cream, Salsa, Cheese or even that Avocado Green Sauce for Taquitos, they were called Fried Burritos. In the 714 a Burrito was a Big Flour Tortilla, filled, rolled and wrapped. Tacos were Corn Tortillas served open and you folded in half and ate. The real 714 issue was Flautas vs. Taquitos 😁

[@skyviewdroneservices4863]

Arnie I like my breakfast with everything you have their but I also add some hash browns and onions and jalapeños Lou’s some jalapeños juice from the pickled jalapeños

[@christiorca4432]

It’s a problem down here- Chula Vista, San Ysidro area with all the taco shop’s and their breakfast burritos! Lunch, dinner why just have them for breakfast? I gained weight and had to go on a diet because of our little burrito/carne asada fries problem. Artie is the mf man!

[@NinjaLifestyle]

CHORIZO

[@patricklinkous]

I'd smash every one of those burritos, but as a Yay Area (semi)native the Mission burrito is part of my soul. Carnitas, whole pinto beans, rice, queso Oaxaca (I think?), pico, and Tapatio splashed on every bite.

[@tonybivens1945]

Always love your videos

[@qwaszxpolkmncvb]

Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado all definitely have their own styles. All of my different favorites are great and unique. I don't particularly care for them loaded down with rice. It's nice to have that and the beans on the side. If you don't mind rice in one heat up leftover kung pao loaded with some fresh meat It makes a very fast meal with a little heat to it

[@TheRubenGalvan]

A friend of mine from Durango, Mejico told me the same thing. He he;ld up a Taco de pollo and said now if I put it in a flour tortilla, it's a burro. Es lo mismo. Dijo

[@1320pass]

Looks wonderful. Thanks Arnie.

[@willkinnison2029]

[@Wakkajakka]

Those deep fried looking burritos look more like what I'd call chimichangas.

[@TbigD50]

I grew up on green burros in Arizona- they’re all good

[@DBat-sp1tp]

I have to say as a native Californian I do prefer the size and simplicity of the Texas style burritos. I’m not saying that I don’t like super burritos but they can be too much and often times are mostly filled with rice and not enough meat. I definitely like the first burrito that is small and deep fried. My dad used to make them this way growing up. They were also popular in drive ins and cafeterias back in the day.

[@darrynkushman1]

Great cooking /work @ArnieTex always enjoy your videos and recipes , Gracias

[@tempestfury8324]

I absolutely love burritos! My favorite breakfast burrito is chorizo, cheese and eggs with just a few potatoes. Some fresh Pico de Gallo and you have a winner! One thing I can't understand is why people would ever put lettuce in a burrito. It becomes a soggy mess and the lettuce loses all it's texture and adds no flavor at all. Lettuce on a crunchy taco? Sure, it adds freshness and texture to it.

I lived on Mission Burritos back in the '80s, when I was working there. Do they make then that small now? Unless I am remembering wrong it took 2 tortillas to wrap one.

[@Mr_big_foot831]

They all a look good 🤤

[@Cristian.Cortez]

Over here in Corpus you don't see a whole lot of burritos, at least not from local spots. When you do find them they're usually served like an enchilada with the chili gravy and cheese over top, so no eating with your hands with these burritos.

[@saucytony4609]

Here in ariza(AZ) we call that enchilada style or as our visinos call it wet burro😂

I will put practically anything in a breakfast burrito any kind of meat. My favorites are birria, adobado, machaca, and bacon. I will almost always put a lot of cheese eggs, maybe potatoes and I love to have it with cilantro

Years ago, I worked with a lady from Mexico who would cook from time to time and offer me a "taco" "Quieres un taco?" she would ask but it was a burrito! When I asked her why she called it a taco, she said that all burritos were called tacos in her family's restaurant in Mexico! Either way, I never complained because her "tacos" were some of the best I have ever had!

[@Marlina66]

OMG! I lived in EP for many years. For me, El Paso had the best Mexican food. And when we went across to Juarez...oh my goodness. It just didn't get any better...unlessy granny or my MAMI made it. Good food should make you dance!!! 💃🏻

I like chargrilled skirt steak, guacamole and jack cheese, with everything else on the side, my favorite salsas to pair with it is Pico de Gallo and a plain chipotle salsa, NOT escabeche or adobe marinated.

[@PhilipBoling]

I like ham, eggs, cheese, and potatoes in my breakfast burrito.

[@Marlina66]

WHAT? You're from Pecos? Go a little further East...I was born in Big Spring. I have family that lives all along I-10 all the way to El Paso. Mexican food is so different in every part of Texas. GREAT VIDEO! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

[@Fettman89]

For my personal tastes I don't like beans on breakfast burritos, it just tastes funky to me mixed with the egg, when I make breakfast burritos at home it's breakfast sausage, scrambled egg, fried potatoes, cheese and salsa. Living in the Central Valley of California my whole life, We don't usually get many mission burritos with yellow cheese, in fact here in Central Cali sometimes they don't use cheese at all, or if they do it's a Queso Fresco Casero or Queso Fresco Cremoso. Our tacos are also very different, the style here is more of your Northern Mexico style carne asada street taco, grilled Carne Asada cut up, diced raw white onion, and sometimes grilled onion in the meat, Cilantro, and cabbage with a red or green salsa and usually on a smaller grilled corn tortilla so you can eat like five or six of them in a sitting lol.

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

Anything in a tortilla is a Taco but a big Taco is a burro 🎉 BOOM 💥
