Why aren't you doing that for a living, looks like sushi shoppe grade. Nicely done.
Thanks Al!
I don't know if I could handle being stuck in a restaurant. I like to move around.
Building a typical house would take about 9 months and that was about all I could take going to the same place everyday.
I love making food though. I've thought about a burrito truck or breakfast burrito truck, but I don't know.
Everybody loves a damn good breakfast burrito and they are hard to find. When I do find one they are rarely layered right and are missing key ingredients.
I nerd out hard on burritos more than anything. :unsure:

Your burrito assertion is so so accurate. Gotta layer it! The layering is everything! It contributes to the texture, which is crucial.

Totally! Flavor as well imho.
I get fast burritos from some places that are all eggs and potatoes and like one piece of bacon. Theres gotta be at least 3 pieces in there.
Black beans or pintos are nice too. The salsa is another problem. It has to have flavor, and none of that Pace Picante crap.

I also cook up my potatoes with onions, jalapeños and garlic. A lot of places I get bfast burritos from just put chopped up boiled potatoes.
Mind blowing.

Hah, we literally just finished eating at a place where they did the plain, boring chopped/boiled taters. :mad:

And Pace...that stuff is awful. I always call it "chunky ketchup". It's not that there isn't good jarred salsa out there, because there totally is. Just not Pace.

I've learned more about breakfast burritos in the last 4 or 5 posts then I have in my entire adult life. Good stuff, are whole wheat wraps acceptable or do they have to be the soft white wraps?

As much as I prefer actual tortillas, the reality is that at home I use low-carb wraps like this:

Have also used wheat. For me, the key is to give them a quick grill on the cast iron first, with a little cooking spray. Just enough to firm them up and get a tiny bit of char.

When carbs aren't a concern, nothing beats getting some fresh made corn tortillas. Also these...they are a mix of corn and flour and I could absolutely demolish a stack by myself if left unsupervised:
