I have mentioned before, actually in "this" post that the thought of eggs with any kinda of red "sauce" used to give me the creeps, and now here I am creating a breakfast burrito that features both eggs and salsa! I have lost my mind!
In fact, when we had breakfast burritos in Lutsen I practically drowned me eggs in that spicy stuff! Eggs and salsa are just two things I absolutely adore together now. I still don't understand the whole eggs and ketchup thing but salsa and eggs I can do!
Here I am going on and on about my obsession with eggs and salsa. When what I really should be going on and on about is how delicious these "Meaty" vegetarian breakfast burritos are! I use the term "meaty" because I used thick cut portobello mushrooms to beef up the filling for these delicious vegetarian breakfast burritos. I marinaded the portobello mushrooms prior to cooking them and they turned out just lovely. A combination of balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, cumin and siracha give these meaty mushrooms a nice tang! If your not feeding a huge crowed you can easily make the mushrooms, saute the peppers and onions and then store until needed. If your serving one portion out a few tablespoons of the pepper and onion mixture and cook with 2 eggs! Serve warm rolled in a tortilla topped with salsa, cheese and avocado. Perfect for weekend brunch or even dinner!
