SHREDDED BEEF BREAKFAST BURRITO

SHREDDED BEEF BREAKFAST BURRITO

BREAKFAST AT HOME

One of those weekend mornings when you wake up a little foggy and crave Mexican food.  This happened to me and I was so happy to find some leftover Shredded Beef in the refrigerator.  Sautéed up some onions and peppers and added a couple eggs to make this delicious burrito.

COOKED AT HOME

After eating a terrible Breakfast Burrito in Napa Valley, I came home and found some ingredients in the refrigerator that we needed to use.  The beauty of a Breakfast Burrito is that you can pretty much use whatever you have and like to make the burritos.  I like mine with a bit of shredded beef but we did not have any on this day.  I simply sautéed some onion, green and red bell pepper and jalapeño in a teaspoon of oil.  While the vegetables cooked I placed four eggs in a bowl and added salt, pepper, hot sauce and about a tablespoon of milk.  Whisked the eggs and set them aside until the vegetables were cooked.  Added the eggs to the vegetables and began mixing it all up in the pan.  The eggs cooked in minutes and I folded them into a four tortilla and added some hot sauce.  Great Breakfast Burrito made fresh and fast!

My Dad's wife Heide showed us a menu from Jerry's and I just had to make a visit.  I looked over the huge menu that has everything you can imagine served up 24 hours a day.  I wanted to go for breakfast, for lunch and even dinner.  We had to squeeze our visit in and it turned out to be for breakfast.  Oh how I wish it could have been lunch.  The sandwiches on Jerry's menu are like the ones you get at Carnegie or Stage Deli in New York.  This is the real deal New York type Deli.  Huge sandwiches, soups, bagels, salads, burgers, fish and even Mexican food.  Jerry's has something for everyone.  The menu is awesome.  I tried the Machaca Burrito ($12) and split it with my wife.  The burrito was filled with shredded beef, eggs, potato, pepper and topped with pico de gallo and served with rice, beans, guacamole and salsa.  This was great!  Filled up two people with not problem.  Heide had the Cheese Blintzes ($11).  Three huge cheesed filled crepe type things served with a large bowl of fresh fruit.  Dad enjoyed a huge plate of thickly sliced ham, eggs and potatoes.  He did not put a dent in the plate and had enough to take home for the neighbors.  Keli had the dollar size pancakes and sausage.

I really liked Jerry's and hope to return again and again.
