This should be labeled breakfast burrito. A true Taiwanese Dan Bing uses a scallion/ flour dough. You should be able to buy Dan Bing Pi (Dan Bing skin) at any of your local Asian Markets. Also, you can put anything you want in a Dan bing, but should limit it to 2 fillings.

I lived in Taiwan for 2 years and this was my favorite breakfast item there… to make it a little more authentic- dice green onion and mix it in with the egg as well as a tsp of sesame oil, you can serve it with a little rooster sauce on top- you can use any breakfast meet as well… they don’t use a corn tortilla, they use a rice tortilla, but they are hard to find… happy breakfasting.

The meal that this is based on is actually called Dan Bing, and it’s prepared and sold on the street in Shanghai. This is like a Mexican version of it. It is easy to prepare and tastes great!

i liked this, it was a nice change from the tipical fried egg and bacon.

A good fast meal (though I’m not sure what is Taiwanese about it…). I tried it both as-is and with cheddar and sour cream, and it is much better at least with the sour cream. The addition of corn received mixed reviews in my house, but I, personally, liked the texture it added. It could be made even easier by just adding a tablespoon or so of real bacon bits to the egg.

Very good recipe! Was wonderfully simple as well. We left out the bacon as we don’t do meat, and put salsa and sour cream over the top. My girlfriend wasn’t expecting to really like it but we just ate it for the second night in a row by her request. Might add onion next time. The diced chilis I’ve seen mentioned in other reviews would be good as well I think.

This is even better than migas! I’ve tried these with corn and without, my hubby likes better with the corn, my son likes better without…I liked both ways. Sometimes I also add a slice of american cheese to ours. SO many options for add ons to this one, such a great idea! Thanks for the wonderful recipe, I’ve made these too many times to count. My hubby’s suggestion maybe add green chili’s for some kick.

Husband didn’t go crazy over this one – said it would be better with flour tortillas and without the corn. Won’t be making this again, but thanks anyway.

This was one of those recipes that just hit me aside the head…I was not sure what to expect. It really is pretty good, and it is sure easy. I was skeptical about the corn and didnt use it…I added some diced green pepper instead. But after tasting them I think the corn would have been a nice addition, complementing the flavor of the tortilla. I also topped the bacon with cheddar cheese and garlic and herb cream cheese instead of the salsa. This was a good flavor but next time I am sticking to the recipe (while still adding some cheddar). It is easy-breezy and different…mandarin-mex? lol!

Very tasty! I just go without the baccon because most of the time we don’t have any. Sometimes I will mix ketchup and garlic paste and use that for the sauce. I eat these for breakfast all the time!

A great new way to make eggs, especially if you have extra corn tortillas lying around that you don’t know what to do with. I used ham to make these (I obviously had to add a little oil); they had a perfect balance of flavor.

Delicious!
