Okay, if you don't find a huge difference between store-bought tortillas and homemade, you've used the wrong recipe. Lard! Less saturated fat than butter and makes a world of a difference. That all said, I'm headed out to the kitchen to make your version of sheet pan fajitas and this recipe looks so good it makes me cry. Love your videos and subscribed LONG ago!

[@CharlieCoriell]

Do you have the macros for this recipe ? I’d appreciate it.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

Brian, did you know you can add crispness to the cubed russet potatoes by parboiling them for like 10 mins before roasting them? The texture is out of this world!

[@Bucketus.Lord.of.Buckets]

I will subvert expectations and have these burritos for dinner.

[@justinlane3483]

The shit eating grin when you start dancing just shows how proud you are of this creation Bri! Keep up the good work

[@420BraiseIt]

Hey Bri! From someone who grew up with Mexican refried beans, there is often some fat, usually lard, melted into the refried beans. A few tbsp of the bacon fat would do really well in there. I specifically keep my bacon fat to use for refried beans in our house :)

[@brentus6043]

Usually I skip the beans altogether, but that sounds amazing

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

Yeah, Rosarita refrieds. Delicious with home made tortilla, butter, green chile, and a bit of cheese.

[@dreamscape405]

I was waiting for him to add some of the bacon fat to the beans, and it surprised when he didn't.

[@ixD9]

I would have just used a little bacon fat to refry the whole beans myself. Season and mash to whatever texture you like. Another option would be to skip the bacon, fry up some chorizo, and then dump the whole beans in there to fry in that tasty chorizo grease. Chorizo beans are amazing!

[@nickkremer72]

I always stuff a little cheese into the seem before pan frying the finished burrito, you get some nice crispy cheese that way!

[@mdbbox5660]

It's a grilled stuft breakfast burrito! Lots of good little tips in here. Baking tots longer is a great idea, especially when they're going into a burrito. Combining pinto and refried beans is also awesome. Don't built a burrito without refried beans. I'll go out on a limb and say that american cheese in a burrito is a good shortcut even if it's super lowbrow. It melts really well and creates its own sauce which is nice if you don't want to go to the trouble of making the crema. Plus it lasts forever in your fridge. I would also use butter and not oil for browning the burrito at the end for more flavor.

[@DaveO2488]

American cheese is a good choice, fry the tots in the bacon grease and brown that thing with a coat of mayo.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Agreed about Tots. They are the best spud for a breakfast burrito by far. They also do well in the air fryer!

[@T-marie-N]

I actually said, "Yes!" when you showed how to tell when a tomatillo is ripe. Thank you! And that burrito looks so good.

[@karenfox1671]

What a complete cooking lesson this is! You offer so many techniques and so much instruction, with multi purposes. Your eggs look as light as foam and, THE SAUCES!!!!!!! Your sauces never go without comment here. I just finished making your cinnamon buns again. What a pleasure that dough is to hone my skills. Can't wait for tomorrow, buddy!

[@erikellis1418]

Great job on making a dope breakfast burrito, Bri!

[@artleitch]

I really like how you have options as you go along (tots vs russet) in your videos. Makes it easy to adapt your recipe to my current context (low on time vs looking for a chef-ier experience etc)

[@3LLT33]

Brian, you wonderful cooking person; your burrito rolling is killing me. - Put stuff in the centre of the tortilla. -Fold over. -Pull towards you until tight. -Flip the sides over the pouch you’ve made. -Roll away from you. It’s foolproof.

[@joebaker5305]

Just had these and wow. I made more than 4 because I was lighter on the ingredients per burrito and have breakfast for Monday and Tuesday. Thanks for another hit.

This is Weekmorninging. (Not quite, but close. Great stuff!)

[@rustincrawford3587]

Made these tonight. Excellent. I’ve often made breakfast burritos with tots and refried beans. Adding the pintos added a great texture. Pan rendering the bacon instead of baking in the oven also made it more consistently crispy.

[@teniaosayande6355]

Ok. I was today years old when I learned the water in the bacon pan trick. Awesome vid!

[@Psysium]

Your enthusiasm at the end was absolutely palpable. Good thing I have most of these ingredients at the ready, cuz this left me with a hankering!

[@johncra8982]

I just realized that I think I've been asking Bri for burrito videos for ages, despite not having eaten a burrito in forever 😂

[@Broken_Yugo]

For reheating tortillas on a gas stove, just wipe the grate off with a damp towel and heat them directly over the largest burner. Blast until one side just scorches, flip, pull when it bubbles. Takes some practice, but it works great and is the fastest way I know that isn't steaming them in the microwave.

[@___asd159gh43]

Perfect timing. Just about to make breakfast.

[@taccosnachos]

That refried + whole bean combo is siiick. Also dope cross section!!

[@ren0387]

i've seen a couple of your videos here and there but this one really sold me as a new fan! i loved how you made a point of showcasing the visual/sensory cues, like how ripe the tomatillo should be, when the salsa is ready to blend, or even including shots of you doing the "long squeeze of acid" or "big pinch of salt" (rather than just mentioning it) so we have a solid idea of what you meant by that. excited to watch more of your stuff!

[@Lizanneschulz]

I love your enthusiasm for food! Thank you for sharing!

[@crystalrowan]

Your absolute joy at the sight of that cross-section was amazing. :) While these are a lot of work for breakfast, I'm thinking they are just the ticket for a nice brinner!

[@DennisFutball2396]

Very nice. I’ve been making a similar dish with tots & sliced avocado for years. But I leave the tortilla open and enjoy it as a breakfast soft taco. Never get tired of it.

Great burrito, thanks for the recipe/video. I made a slimmed down version because that's what I had on hand and really wanted to make it. I was terrific and loved the browning part, created such great texture. Will make again, but will definitely get all the ingredients to make it as written, cause I sure it will be amazing. Thanks Brian. Really enjoy your videos and recipes. The best!

I really appreciate that you put ALL your effort into every single video and recipe. I've noticed recently with some of my other favorite foodtubers that they sometimes mail it in a bit (but I get it, busy life, it's hard, no judgment for the others!). But you truly never publish a bad video. Thanks so much for the SUPER high-quality and consistent content!!!!!

[@JeffreyBrosef]

Using an immersion blender to mix eggs is the move! I can't believe I've never thought of this.

[@Fusion5669]

As of now I have watched every single video on this channel. You are my absolute favorite food based KZbinr. Easy to follow recipes. Good information as to why something is done a certain way instead of "because I said so". One of the best, full stop! If possible ( I understand the algorithm and demand ) I would like to see more recipes that involve absolutely nothing related to tomato. I am currently 54 and have loved all foods my whole life until about 3 years ago. I developed an allergy to anything tomato ( anything ). I'm not talking an irritating allergy but an epipen emergency room anaphylactic reaction. Ketchup will blister my skin like a bad sunburn. So with that being said while I love this channel there are so many recipes that I yearn for but can no longer have. Thank you for what you do and I will continue to watch every recipe ( even if I can't have it ). 🤪

I watch every video, but I came back to this one for the third time because of the thumbnail… soooo good

I'm commenting solely to counteract all the "omggg Bri you're doing it wronggggg" people. Brian, that burrito looks freaking amazing and dope and I'd eat it anyday. I wasn't aware that there was a "wrong" way to make a delicious breakfast burrito, but I guess some folks gotta find problems with everything.

Looks awesome! Thanks for your hard work! I’m definitely making this!

[@ayshamahmood8193]

literally wow

[@gydeme]

I'm gonna have to try this breakfast burrito sometime. I usually go with some form of chorizo, green chili, potato, egg combo as my top breakfast rito

[@antontaun]

beans in a breakfast burrito is so underrated

[@timnewton1073]

Interesting idea to add in the beans, I personally do hashbrowns and sausage, work them together and then add the eggs into that mixture to have it all kind of meld together so each bite is equal.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

Using canned refried beans is inexcusable. Might as well use catfood. He should have taken the time to cook up his own beans, with flavor actually added to them, and mash them. He’s already taking the time to make his own sauces - what’s one extra step? Especially such an important one too. It isn’t like I’m dogging him for using a store$bought tortilla.

[@shuman26V]

Beautiful burrito, great balance! Will have to try this

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Hope you enjoy

[@JMVestal4]

Nicely done. The eggs were beautiful

[@carltiox5115]

BREAKFAST burrito ready by lunchtime. Looks delicious

[@vitaly6312]

For those struggling with burrito folding, try this method with a not-so-full burrito and then wrap it tightly with foil. Foil is THE trick. The other method is what they use at chipotle. Fold the back to the front and then tuck in the sides. In any way. Foil is the key. I worked at a burrito joint for a while and still make tons of them.

As a breakfast burrito enthusiast, besides the store bought tortilla this Rito looks amazing.

[@arnoldkotlyarevsky383]

Brian, I think this might be my first departure from your recommendations. While this is obviously delicious and absolutely next level...I think it sort of fails to be a breakfast burrito you could actually have at home. If I paid $18 for one at a restaurant, I would not feel bad. But, if I wanted something I could make before work, or pull out of the freezer and thoughtfully reheat later, this would not work. This is exclusively a "saturday morning with nothing to do before noon" kind of breakfast burrito.

[@nholeonard5440]

It is called DELUXE breakfast burritos for a reason :-)

[@aeronj7283]

that looks so good!

[@keithsnow]

loving that, I also agree that making fresh torts, while fun, just does not pay if you can get a good store-bought one that does not have 30 ingredients.
