Scramble Burrito Bowl

  • Author: Jackie Sobon

Description

My high school had a surf team as part of its sports roster, and I was on it. After a good season, the coaches would take us out for breakfast burritos. This bowl has everything that a great breakfast burrito would have, just without the massive tortilla that could blow apart at any moment. – Jackie
