🌴 The breakfast that puts you back on track
I had the chance to discover this dish during a photo contract in Hawaii. One morning, I was walking along the beach, very much in “next-day” mode. On the side of the road, there was a small convenience store with a burrito shop inside. I fell so hard for their sandwiches that I went back every morning for the rest of the week. I can confirm: this is exactly the kind of breakfast that puts a man back on his feet.
And I get why. Creamy scrambled eggs, savory breakfast sausages, melted cheese, fresh guacamole and a touch of salsa that wakes everything up just enough. It’s hearty, comforting and straight to the point. Nothing complicated, but every ingredient does its job perfectly. Rich where it needs to be, salty in all the right ways, and incredibly effective when your head feels a little heavy.
This is the kind of burrito you eat slowly, in silence, feeling life come back bite by bite. Perfect for brunch with friends, a lazy weekend morning or a rough day that needs a little extra love. Serve it hot, roll it tight, and let it work its magic.

✅ Warm tortillas
Heating them slightly makes them more flexible and prevents tearing.
✅ Creamy eggs
Cook the eggs gently and remove them while still slightly soft to keep them moist inside the burrito.
✅ Tight rolling
Folding the sides in before rolling keeps everything neatly inside.
✅ Extra-hearty version
Add sautéed potatoes or crispy bacon for an even more indulgent breakfast.
✅ Prep ahead
All components can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving.

Preparation
- For the guacamole: Place the avocado flesh in a bowl and add the lime juice. Using a fork, mash the avocado until smooth and creamy.
- Add the remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the eggs and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until soft scrambled eggs form. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Warm the tortillas slightly. Spread about 2 tablespoons of guacamole and 1 tablespoon of salsa over the top half of each tortilla. Divide the sausages, eggs and cheese evenly over the filling. Fold the tortillas in half and roll them tightly into burritos. Eat like a ninja.
The fillings can be prepared in advance, but it’s best to assemble the burritos just before serving to avoid soggy tortillas.
Bacon, ham or chorizo work very well depending on how bold you want the flavors to be.
Freezing is possible without the guacamole, which should be added fresh when serving.
