Where to Find Hash Brown Patties for Our Breakfast Burrito Recipe

Aside from picking some up from a fast food restaurant that offers them (which is definitely an option!), you can also find them in the freezer section at most grocery stores. Our favorite hash brown patties are the ones you can find in the freezer section at Trader Joes. They’re inexpensive, heat up very well and taste great!

Variations for our Breakfast Burrito Recipe

As we mentioned above, it’s so easy to change up the filling based on your own preferences, as well as add more ingredients inside to make this more of a loaded breakfast burrito!

  • Swap the bacon out for – chopped breakfast sausage, crumbled chorizo, crumbled (and seasoned) tofu, pinto or black beans, a mixture of sautéed vegetables, chopped carne asada, etc.
  • Add some pico de gallo for a fresh punch!
  • Make a quick and easy chipotle crema to spoon into the filling or to use as a dipping sauce (or both!). For the chipotle crema: Blend together 2/3 cup sour cream, 1 chipotle pepper in adobe plus 1 tablespoon adobe sauce, and juice from 1 lime (about 2 1/2 tablespoons).
  • Add a smear of refried beans into the filling or some thinly sliced avocado (or guacamole) into the filling for some added creaminess.

  • Don’t add too many ‘wet’ ingredients in the filling to ensure the breakfast burrito doesn’t get soggy.

    Breakfast Burrito Recipe (23)
    Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had! I made a tomatillo and Chile de arbol salsa to go with it and it was just perfect. My husband is vegetarian so I swapped bacon for black beans in his and he loved it too! I have to say, as someone who cooks A LOT and follows a ton of food blogs, your recipes are some of the only ones I turn to repeatedly for THE BEST Mac and cheese, breakfast burritos, etc. I really appreciate what you two put out there for us!
