Corned beef hash breakfast burrito
A staple of New Mexican gas stations, the corned beef breakfast burrito is a wonderful fusion
Servings 2 burritos
Ingredients
- 1-2 eggs scrambled or fried
- Milk if making scrambled eggs
- 1-3 green chiles diced
- 1 can corned beef hash or hash made from slow cooked corned beef.

- 2 Burrito-sized tortillas
- Red chile, prepared (optional)
- secret sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the beans, or buy canned beans.
- Steam or boil potatoes until tender
- Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Put the hash into the skillet and cook until it begins to lightly brown.
- Either remove the corned beef hash to container and add the diced potatoes, with some oil, or heat another skillet on high, add a little oil, and toss in the diced potatoes. Shake salt over the potatoes and cook until lightly brown.
- Cook the eggs and remove to plate or bowl when done.
- Cook the beans in a skillet with a dab of oil, briefly, to remove excess liquid
- Briefly heat the first tortilla in the microwave or in the skillet, until just a little warm and pliable.

The burrito before rolling. Left to right: Pan-fried potatoes, black beans, green chile, corned beef hash.

The black beans, after they’ve been cooked in the electric pressure cooker, and before they’re thrown in the skillet to lose any extra liquid.

Diced potatoes, pan fried, before being added to a corn beef hash burrito. The potatoes were cooked in an electric rice cooker (InstantPot) which reduced the cooking time and simplified the process.
