9. Breakfast Burrito
Burritos are a Northern Mexican creation that is now more popular in the States than they are in Mexico. Breakfast Burritos involve a large flour tortilla stuffed with any combination of breakfast proteins, rice, beans, and vegetables; all wrapped neatly into a handheld meal. You can eat them soft, throw them on a grill to crisp up the tortilla, or deep fry them to create a famous Chimichanga. The breakfast burrito craze started in California and spread quickly throughout North America as a staple of Mexican and Tex Mex-style breakfasts. They are as hearty and filling as can be and wholly customizable. Breakfast burritos are highly caloric and will leave you full till lunch.
