Breakfast Burrito

Breakfast burrito is a unique variety of a burrito, consisting of a tortilla stuffed with ingredients that are usually a breakfast staple such as eggs, bacon, and potatoes. It was invented in 1975 in Tia Sophia, a café in Santa Fe, New Mexico.


The breakfast burrito craze started to catch on and soon found its way into mainstream fast-food establishments such as McDonald's and Taco Bell. Although eggs, bacon, and potatoes are the key ingredients, there are no set rules on what constitutes a great breakfast burrito, so it can also be filled with other ingredients such as tomatoes, cheese, ham, spinach, and beans.


Apart from numerous fast food restaurants and diners, breakfast burrito can also be bought on street stalls, as it is an important part of the street food culture.
