Recommended by Heidi Toth<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Egg, potato, spinach and cream cheese<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This burrito is so filling that even us omnivores won\u2019t miss the meat! The spinach and cream cheese add that bright bite you want in the morning to be ready for a day of work or for a leisurely brunch.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recommended by Shonri Begay<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eggs, potatoes, Serano chiles and crispy bacon<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This burrito is the right balance of fluffy and crispy, comforting and spicy! Madrez Cafe uses local ingredients and makes their salsas and tortillas from scratch. If you\u2019re not in the mood for burritos, they also make the best waffles in town!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

El Tapatio \u2013 Burrito De Asada<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recommended by Ava Hiniker<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Large flour tortilla filled with carne asada. Smothered in red salsa. Served with guacamole and pico de gallo.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If there was only one way to my heart, it would certainly be through my stomach\u2014specifically through the means of a burrito drowning in delectable, decadent sauces. This burrito scratches that itch. Those looking for a taste of heaven complete with tender steak and served with rice and beans will definitely find it at El Tapatio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tacos Los Altos \u2013 Breakfast Burrito<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Recommended by Jill Kimball<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Potatoes, eggs and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla with your protein of choice (chorizo, bacon, ham, sausage or more potato) and as much salsa as you want.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Flagstaffians may never settle their feud over which Tacos Los Altos location is superior (I\u2019m a Westside gal myself). But the truth is, regardless of which TLA you choose, you can\u2019t go wrong with either of their delicious, portable and AM-friendly breakfast burritos. They\u2019re super affordable and perfect to grab as you head out of town for your next adventure!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandy\u2019s \u2013 Vegan Breakfast Burrito<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

Recommended by Carly Banks<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vegan eggs and sausage with tomato, green chili and onion, served with homemade salsa and choice of side.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a vegan, I don\u2019t often get to indulge in \u201ceggs and sausage,\u201d so this burrito is such a treat. It\u2019s so delicious, in fact, that it can be appreciated by vegans and non-vegans alike. Highly recommend ordering it with crispy hashbrowns!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gloria\u2019s Bakery \u2013 Breakfast Burrito a la Mexicana<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Recommended by Mariana Laas<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Homemade flour tortilla filled with eggs scrambled with pico de gallo, rice and beans.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a small family-owned restaurant that offers authentic Mexican food. The eggs are scrambled with tomatoes, onion and jalapeno peppers making them very moist and fluffy. Instead of potatoes, this breakfast burrito is filled with Mexican rice and fried beans. The rice is soft and flavorful, giving a very different taste from any traditional breakfast burrito you might have had. Once wrapped, it\u2019s grilled so that it holds the juices in and stops the tortilla from getting too soggy. Pair it with a fresh fruit \u2018liquado\u2019 and a \u2018concha\u2019 to complete your meal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
