This recipe is good! We decided (3 cooks) that we’ll make some changes next time. First, this recipe made enough for at least eight people. Not sure how they figured 4 servings. We used Lawry’s Carne Asada seasoning. We will use 1/2 T less and maybe 1/2 T of garlic powder going forward . We cooked the meat separately in batches, which worked great. We also cooked the veggies separately for a couple of minutes before adding the meat back in. The recipe can support at least another cup or more of potatoes. We will also increase the eggs next time by at least two, and we will cook them with a little milk as we usually prepare them. If you follow this recipe without our proposed changes, you will still have a great breakfast.

I made this and my husband is the pickiest and he said it’s the best breakfast burrito ever. He took down 3 burritos back to back to back to back. This is gonna be a new favorite of ours. And so easy to make.

Loved it! Instead of Carne seasoning I used Odobo and Omitted the potatoes … FANTASTIC! Definitely will be making this again!

I substituted tofu for the steak, corn pops for the potatoes, and used some dandelions instead of the jalapenos. It was awful!! Never again!!

Really good. We made these for dinner and left out the eggs.

OK! I made a couple of changes. I used chorizo rather than the meat and hash browns rather than diced potatoes. I did only use one egg for the half recipe I made, but otherwise I made this according to the recipe. This made for a very delicious dinner tonight, and we would for sure make it again! Thank you so much for this very forgiving recipe! I love it when you can use the basic ingredients and then change it for what you have on hand!

Truly delicious!! I knew these were going to be addictive, and they are. I used pinto beans instead of potatoes. The flavor just bursts in each bite. I added extra onion, jalapeno, bell pepper and Hunt’s tomatoes and put some of it in a dish for dipping the burritos. It was like a salsa and I wanted more. I didn’t brush the finished burritos with butter though. I used blue corn tortillas instead of flour. Thank you for the recipe.

I substituted the steak with pinto beans. But I used the carne asada seasoning and garlic powder on the pinto beans. Because I used pinto beans I had made and frozen they were slightly dry. I put the seasoned beans and Hunt’s® Diced Tomatoes in my food processor and pulsed just enough that the tomatoes and beans were mixed together. I would never have thought of using tomatoes in a breakfast burrito but they really added great flavor. My husband and I really liked this recipe and will be adding it to our collection.
