These breakfast burritos combine smoky roasted Hatch green chiles with creamy, spicy pepper jack cheese and fluffy scrambled eggs for a quick, comforting morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup roasted, peeled, and chopped Hatch green chiles (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese (about 100g)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins: diced onions, cooked breakfast sausage, fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Roast and prepare the Hatch green chiles: Roast fresh chiles over an open flame or under a broiler until skin is blackened and blistered (5-7 minutes), turning frequently. Place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap or sealed bag to steam for 10 minutes. Peel off charred skin, remove seeds, and chop. If using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid.
  2. Whisk the eggs: Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy (about 1 minute).
  3. Cook the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in eggs and let sit undisturbed for 20 seconds. Gently stir and fold eggs until just set but still soft and creamy (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
  4. Warm the tortillas: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 20-30 seconds per side or wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Assemble the burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon a quarter of the scrambled eggs into the center. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup shredded pepper jack cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped Hatch green chiles. Add optional extras if desired.
  6. Roll it up: Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, tuck in edges, and roll tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
  7. Final warm-up (optional): Place burritos seam side down in a warm skillet over medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes per side to melt cheese and crisp tortilla slightly.

Notes

For best smoky flavor, roast your own Hatch green chiles. Use frozen if short on time but thaw and drain well. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Avoid overfilling burritos for easier rolling. Optional final warm-up step melts cheese perfectly and crisps tortilla slightly. Substitute dairy-free cheese and gluten-free tortillas for dietary needs.
