Fuego is the blend for mornings that need a kick. It is the heat-forward member of the Sweet Cheeks lineup, bold and a little smoky, the kind of seasoning that wakes up everything it touches. These breakfast burritos are the dish that shows it off: crispy Fuego-seasoned bacon, soft scrambled eggs, golden potatoes, and just enough Serrano to keep things interesting, all toasted into a tortilla and ready for your favorite hot sauce.
Pro tip: season the bacon with Fuego before it hits the heat so the blend toasts right into the fat. Dial the Serranos up or down depending on how much fire your morning can handle.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
- Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for the pan
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Sweet Cheeks Fuego Blend (to taste)
- 6 slices bacon
- 1/2 yellow onion, small dice
- 2 Serrano peppers, small dice
- Diced potatoes, fresh or frozen (about 1/2 bag frozen, or 2 to 3 russets if using fresh)
- 4 slices Havarti cheese
- Large flour tortillas
- Your favorite hot sauce and sour cream, to serve
Cook the fillings
- Sprinkle Fuego seasoning over the bacon and cook it on the stovetop or in the oven. Amanda cooks hers in the oven at 350°F (177°C) until crispy, flipping every 10 minutes or so, usually 15 to 20 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs and heavy cream together in a bowl. Once combined, stir in the cubed butter and set aside.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of EVOO. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring every few minutes.
- After about 10 minutes, add the onion and Serrano. Keep cooking until the vegetables are soft, about 5 more minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Wipe out the pan and add the egg mixture. Scramble until the eggs are cooked through.
Assemble & serve
- Lay two slices of Havarti on a tortilla. Top with crumbled bacon, scrambled eggs, and potatoes.
- Fold the burrito and set it seam-side down in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown on both sides.
- Slice in half and serve with your favorite hot sauce and sour cream.
