Green Chili is very popular where I live in New Mexico, you can find it in almost anything. I decided to pair up our state’s famous green chili with eggs and cheese for a delicious breakfast burrito. As a nod to our neighbor state, Texas, I added jalapenos which gave the burritos a great kick. It’s perfect “man” food for breakfast – it fills you up, has some heat, and doesn’t take all day to prepare. Also, this breakfast is portable, wrap them tightly in foil and you are good to go!
