Servings: persons

for the breakfast burrito:
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons cilantro chimichurri (recipe below)
pinch of salt
1 burrito wrap
for the cilantro chimichurri:
2 bunches cilantro (stems and leaves)
2 limes (juice only)
4 cloves garlic (crushed)
2 jalapenos (seeds removed from 1 or both)
2 tablespoons white distilled vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons kosher salt

1
Heat an egg pan or non-stick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add butter and chimichurri.
2
Whisk eggs, milk and salt in a bowl. Add eggs to pan and scramble until cooked, while still moist and fluffy.
3
Pop burrito shell in microwave for 15 seconds to soften it and then wrap up chimichurri eggs to go!
4
Put everything in the food processor or blender and blend until really smooth. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for a couple of weeks. Adjust amount of jalapeno and seeds based on heat tolerance. Option 1: Both jalapenos and both seeds. Option 2: Both jalapenos and only half the seeds. Option 3: Both jalapenos and no seeds. Option 4: One jalapeno with no seeds. I used option 2, and the sauce came out like a medium salsa heat level.
