I have talked before about my love for Brinner (for those who are uneducated, it is breakfast for dinner).  Brinner has a lot of charm as you can enjoy all those breakfast foods when you have time to prepare them, time to go shopping and most importantly are not hung over.

Sometimes I dream about a fast food chain that sells breakfast food 24 hours a day.  I wish McD’s sold hash browns and muffins all day as they are the best things on the menu.  But sadly at 10:31 each day I can no longer get these treats.

At my mythical Brinner joint, one of the star items would have to be the breakfast burrito.  For years I have heard about breakfast burritos on American TV shows had absolutely no idea what they were.  Being a curious cookie I decided to do some research.  General consensus was that a breakfast burrito must contain scrambled eggs and a flour tortilla.  To make mine a little more like a burrito I added some salsa, chilli, avocado and sour cream.  These were really tasty and will definitely make another appearance on my brinner table.
