We’ve recently hit a recipe rut. Does this happen to anyone else? You’re just tired of eating the same old, same old, but nothing going by on Pinterest really grabs your attention? Well, it happens to me, and lately I’ve been feeling very uninspired.

And then came the idea for these smothered burritos. Now, you should know, my husband makes amazing breakfast burritos. His flavor combo for the filling is both simple and delicious. If you want, you could totally make just the filling of this recipe, add some cheese, salsa, and a tortilla, and you’d have an excellent meal. We’d just eaten this so many times recently, that I wanted something to kick it up a notch. So I decided to smother it.

Which in retrospect, was an AWESOME idea! The green chili sauce added a gorgeous flavor kick that leveled what was a pretty dang good burrito up to “I need to eat this right now!”

And just in case you want to eat this right now, here’s the recipe:

½ onion chopped

Green Chili Sauce

10 oz can chicken optional
1 Tbsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp corn starch

16 oz diced green chilies

Instructions

Place all the ingredients for the chili sauce in a large sauce pan.

While chili is simmering, fry potatoes and onions until soft and translucent.
Add eggs and fry until fully cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Fill tortillas with egg and potato filling. Pour chili sauce over and top with cheese.

Notes

The chili sauce will make a lot. We froze it and used it to make these a couple of times. If you do it that way, it really cuts down on your prep time!
If you're a vegetarian, just leave the chicken out of the sauce.
