Prep To Make Loaded Breakfast Burritos

Methods Of Cooking California Camping Burritos
I usually make this as one of our camp stove recipes because it is a breakfast we like to have before going on a day hike and I don’t want to deal with starting and then putting out a campfire in the morning. If this is your choice too, you’ll need to get your stove ready for cooking on a level surface.
If it is a cold morning and you have a campfire going to stay warm, you may want to make this as one of our campfire recipes. Don’t forget you’ll need to get your fire going early enough so you are cooking over coals (not flames).
Steps To Make California Breakfast Burritos
Step 1. Prepare your ingredients as directed. You don’t want the avocado to turn brown so you’ll be tossing it in a bit of lime juice and setting it aside for serving later.
Step 2. Prepare the eggs. You’ll beat them in a bowl and add a little salt and pepper.
Step 3. Brown the ingredients. You will be lightly browning the chorizo sausage then will be adding the potatoes and cooking until everything is tender.
Camp Cooking Tip: When you are scrambling eggs for breakfast, it is easiest to use a non-stick skillet. If you are cooking in a cast iron pan, you’ll want to make sure it has a non-sticking surface that is created by a well-seasoned pan. Learn how to clean and season cast iron cookware.
Step 4. Heat the beans. In a separate saucepan, you’ll be melting a bit of butter to sauté the onion, then mix in the beans and the salsa to heat through.
Step 5. Cook the eggs. Time to add the eggs and cheese to the skillet of sausage and potatoes.
Step 6. Assemble and serve. You’ll build the Southwest burritos by layering on the beans, eggs, cilantro, avocado and cheese. Serve them warm with lime wedges and hot sauce, if desired.
Pairings For Camping Breakfasts
