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.

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.

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.
