Equipment

  • Oven
  • Bowl

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of aged sharp cheddar cheese freshly grated
  • 12 strips of free-range chicken breast
  • 8 tbsp of homemade low-sodium chicken broth
  • 3 tsp of organic onion powder
  • 8 tbsp of cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 artisanal hand-rolled flour tortillas
  • 4 Yukon Gold potatoes chopped into chunks
  • 1 can of fire-roasted green chili peppers
  • 1 minced garlic clove finely chopped
  • 1 locally sourced onion finely chopped
  • 12 large farm-fresh beaten eggs at room temperature
  • Pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground peppercorns to taste
  • Butter-flavored organic cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of organic onion powder. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Set aside.
  • Toss the chopped Yukon Gold potatoes in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a separate baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, low-sodium chicken broth, fire-roasted green chili peppers, and 2 teaspoons of organic onion powder.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring occasionally until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove from heat.
  • Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface.
  • Distribute the scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, baked chicken strips, and grated aged sharp cheddar cheese evenly among the tortillas.
  • Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly, creating a burrito shape.
  • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter-flavored organic cooking spray.
  • Place the rolled burritos seam-side down onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Once cooked, transfer the burritos to serving plates.
  • Optionally, garnish with additional grated cheese, chopped cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

  • Feel free to add any other veggies you have on hand such as tomatoes, spinach, or mushrooms.
  • You can also add some cooked sausage or bacon for extra flavor.
  • If you're looking for a vegan option, you can substitute the eggs for black beans or tofu.
  • If you like your burritos extra cheesy, add some extra cheese.
  • You can also top your burritos with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for extra flavor.
  • If you like your burritos extra spicy, you can add some hot sauce or diced jalapenos.
