I recently mentioned on facebook that I was going to Qdoba for burritos for the first time ever.

That was 12 days ago. In those 12 days, I’ve since eaten at Qdoba 5 times. Then I tried recreating their burritos at home for dinner last night. Then I made these breakfast burritos for breakfast this morning.

I’m in a burrito funk, is what I’m saying. I can’t find my way out, either. I’m buried in queso sauce, gaucamole, and cilantro lime rice.

I don’t want help. I will eat my way out of this hole and then I will probably dive right back in.

Burritos are my thang.

This breakfast version is crazy good. I scrambled some eggs with a bit of salsa verde and it really helped amp up the flavor. The bacon and avocado didn’t hurt either.

Bacon, Egg, and Avocado Breakfast Burrito

Ingredients:

3 slices bacon
2 eggs
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons salsa verde (homemade or store-bought)
2 tablespoons cheddar or monterey jack cheese, grated
1/4 avocado, diced
2 taco sized flour tortillas

Directions:

Chop the bacon into bite sized pieces and cook in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Set aside the bacon on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Drain the grease from the skillet and wipe down with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, stir together the eggs and water with a fork until well combined.
Scramble the eggs in the skillet over low heat until almost set. Add the salsa verde to the eggs and continue cooking until the eggs are fully cooked and the salsa is heated through.
Divide the eggs between the two tortillas. Top each tortilla with the cheese, bacon, and avocado.
Roll it into a burrito (fold the half closest to you over the filling and smoosh it into the filling a bit, bring both ends toward the middle and roll to close).
If you want it extra steamy, wrap it in a damp paper towel and microwave for 10 seconds. (I don't have a microwave, so I couldn't do this, but I imagine only good things would happen here.)

Breakfast, Cheesy

Isn’t Qdoba great? We used to eat there weekly. Then I made us stop lol. I think I might have to get over there again this week

  @Mary,
  
  Do what now?? Qdoba has BREAKFAST? I’m pretty sure mine opens at 11am, so no breakfast for me.

Yum! I love a good breakfast burrito. Might have to make some variation tonight, especially since we don’t have a Qdoba here to make something for me

I wish we had a Qdoba so I could attest to their awesomeness. I’ll have to take your word for it, which is a good thing, since your word looks delicious and sounds a lot like BACON, EGG AND AVO BURRITOS. For breakfast. Can I live with you now?

Have you ever been to chipotle?? I’m pretty sure it tops qdoba…in a big way. Though if it can top these breakfast burritos…I have my doubts.

  @Joanne,
  
  I have and I do love Chipotle. There isn’t one around here though. I was thinking they beat Qdoba too, but then I tried the queso burrito. Chipotle doesn’t have queso, does it?

I usually do mexican at least once a week and it’s been chipotle burrito salad bowls for quite some time now but ummm perhaps I should switch it up to breakfast time. these burritos looks incredible!!! i’d love to wake up to mexican!

  @sally @ sallys baking addiction,
  
  I love Chipotle! There just isn’t one around here. The next town over is building one now though. Can’t wait!

I would like it if you could come over and make me a burrito this morning…
Ok?
Did that sound creepy?

  @shelly (cookies and cups),
  
  I would love to come over and make you breakfast in bed.
  
  Yep. Little bit creepy.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being stuck in a burrito funk. In fact, I want to crawl in!

Can’t wait for breakfast… burrito funks are the best kind to be in… you can make anything a burrito these days!
