breakfast pitas are the new breakfast sandos ...???

This week, Molly presents us with another question that makes us reconsider so much about our lives: are breakfast sandos over as we know it?
These chorizo and egg pitas (from Molly's latest book More Is More) are so much more fun (and portable, hello!) than a breakfast sandwich spilling out of its kaiser roll, egg yolk dripping down your wrists. We’re stuffing Mexican chorizo inside a pita with eggs before we griddle it in a skillet so that all of those fatty juices soak into the pita while the exterior crisps. If that doesn’t sell you on this, perhaps the spicy jalapeño sour cream will, and if still not, well, there are about ten more breakfast recipes in the book you could make instead.
Aaaand did we mention it's probably the easiest recipe we've ever made a video for??? Why do you think it's only 6 minutes!!!! Get griddling!

This is the best recipe; shot and edited so well. 6 minutes and I felt I learned a new recipe that I can't wait to try.

[@justinsmith2382]

Tried this morning and was so good ~ stoked to play around with this form factor and stick 👏 new 👏 stuff 👏 in 👏 pitas!

[@sonjadiesing6114]

This is legit one of the most delicious things I have ever made!! It’s so easy, the ingredient list is small! So it’s my new goal to have these things on hand at all times!!

[@sofiamandelertpracownik1668]

Looks so delicious and the recipe is so simple, I love it

Congratulations on the new baby 🍼😘..love your cooking

[@ssenssel]

She had a baby? Nice. I guess somebody did some pita stuffing with chorizo in more ways than one..😉

[@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes]

ooh this looks so good!! Can't wait to use this method and stuff my pitas with other ingredients too!

[@stevenjacobs2750]

I think this is my new favorite recipe. Amazing. Idk if its the quality of pita around me but holy heck getting them to stay intact while I open them and do anything in there is the biggest challenge of the recipe.

[@kylekusuda5022]

Same! Went through two pitas before we got it right. But it was super good. We're adding it to the breakfast routines

[@alexafrankovitch93]

Oh my GOD this looks good I cannot wait to make it

[@SoBethSaid]

I don't have chorizo but I'm going to try this now with spicy breakfast sausage. Yum.

[@certainstrength]

Cool take on Arayes. I don’t know if you cooked it long enough to get the chorizo cooked. I’d probably bake it for a bit

[@berarre]

Can’t wait to try this

Where can I get that apron? The neckline is perfect... so much better than a bib. They would be perfect gifts for my friends.

Nah fam this is a middle eastern technique

[@cameronmoeller]

love mollyyyyy

[@colinthompson3111]

This looks delicious, but how do you know the meat will cook through?

[@cjceleiro]

I made these at the beginning of the week. If you go by the measurements in the recipe the sausage layer ends up being pretty thin. I promise it’s fully cooked! I think the recipe says cook for a total of 8 minutes so I did 4 on each side.

[@colinthompson3111]

@@cjceleiro Thanks!!

[@2darkdragon]

should fried the chorizo first at least halfway

[@angrypear]

Thank you!

The place where I buy my pita makes delicious kefta. I might try this with kefta instead of chorizo

This looks absolutely delicious.

[@avivleozippin7729]

Really reminds me of arayes. The egg is a nice touch

[@209lapko]

We love you MollyBaznana...

[@ronin223]

This looks like a modern take on a scotch egg. Personally would add egg halfway through to it would be jammy not cooked hard.

[@alexisstockard3078]

yummy

[@MorvranLive]

Now I need to go see if I can actually find any of these ingrediants in the UK.

[@kylekusuda5022]

No pickled jalapenos? :( that's bleak my friend

[@spaceflunky]

girl, aint no way that chorizo is cooked

[@cjceleiro]

Literally made these at the beginning of the week. It’s cooked I swear. 😂

[@2darkdragon]

would taste so much better if fried first at least par cooked

If it’s flat I could see it cook through, if it’s a giant ball then no

Love this idea but maybe the only thing that would be better with a tortilla

[@adeadcrab]

i actually love her though

[@tamarlavy7464]

giving arayes vibes

[@ericlewis8793]

Are we sure the sausage cooks?

[@robynwestler806]

Is the meat pre cooked?

[@wesman422]

This style is a little different.

[@misirnihat]

I think it'd be much easier if you used two tortillas instead of stuffing a pita. Give it a thought ;)

[@mdbbox5660]

Definitely. It's such a popular option they even have a name for it: quesadilla!

Why didnt she season the egg!!😭

[@Melaniavelli]

so... gentrified arayes?

[@mdbbox5660]

Adding Mexican flavors to something makes it gentrified?

[@Melaniavelli]

@@mdbbox5660 she didnt make something mind-blowingly new. she also didnt credit the lebanese people who are the originators of minced meat stuffed pitas. all she did was swap lamb for chorizo and added an egg. wow so new and creative 🙄.

[@mdbbox5660]

@@Melaniavelli "Credit" the Lebanese people? There's no trademark, copyright, or ownership of the food. Besides, arayes aren't even specifically Lebanese. They could be Syrian or Palestinian. I'm sure you knew that though. Food changes along borders as cultures blend and people learn. It's not a bad thing unless you're terrified of change. There are a lot of great, popular foods that came about as fusion of other recipes. Try 'em, you'll like 'em.

[@Melaniavelli]

​@@mdbbox5660 It can be accredited to the Lebanese people and their cuisine, and that credit can even be extended to Levantine cuisine. Arayes (and iterations of it) became "trendy" to the rest of the world just the other day, so let's not pretend that whatever she made is not an iteration of that. As an African, a first-generation American, and a woman, who works in the humanitarian sector, I have immense respect towards those of diverse, varying backgrounds and gratitude towards those who share their culture with me. I know better than to appropriate something and not give credit where it's due. Be blessed, friend.

[@mdbbox5660]

@@Melaniavelli It's already obvious it's an iteration, but every food video or recipe doesn't require a history lesson or asterisk calling out that it's a variation of an "original." Some people do that because it can be interesting, but to say someone is "appropriating" a recipe is silly since it presumes someone or some culture owns a food in the first place.
