This isn\u2019t really a recipe, more like a guide to assembling and folding a breakfast tortilla sandwich that makes the most sense. It\u2019s not the prettiest of sandwiches, but after one bite, you won\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

Tortilla sandwiches flew around social media a few years ago, and I was intrigued. I love quesadillas, but this was different. A cut was made on the radius of a large tortilla (from the outside edge to the center, if you\u2019ve forgotten geometry). Different ingredients were placed onto the four quadrants of the tortilla, and then each quarter was folded onto the next.<\/p>\n

There was a problem, though: the first fold always resulted in a mess, because the food on the bottom of the first fold spilled as it was folded up.<\/p>\n

Another problem was that I didn\u2019t want all of the parts of my breakfast sandwich piping hot. When I make a breakfast burrito, I put the hot ingredients inside, and the cold ingredients on top. This keeps the temps relatively separate, but I have to eat these with a knife and fork. I like to be on my computer during breakfast, so a one-handed meal is ideal.<\/p>\n

\n

So, I figured out a better way to fold my tortilla sandwiches. It\u2019s really simple. You start cooking your hash brown patty first, because that takes about twenty minutes. You can use home fries if that\u2019s what you have, but I prefer the crunch of a patty. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re using meat, you cook or heat up your meat. The meat and potatoes going into the sandwich have to be cooked first, or heated up if left over (this is a great way to use up leftovers!). <\/p>\n

\n

When that\u2019s about five minutes from being done, you make the cut on the tortilla and put it in a very lightly-oiled pan over low heat. You sprinkle cheese onto the tortilla to give it a chance to melt, then cook up your eggs and beans and gather the cold ingredients. You add the hot ingredients, saving the cold ingredients until the last minute so that they don\u2019t get too warm. <\/p>\n

\n

Finally, you fold the tortilla in a way that keeps the \u201cjuicier\u201d ingredients (salsa, sour cream, and other condiments) in the most protected pocket of the sandwich.<\/p>\n

The result is a compact one-handed sandwich absolutely packed with deliciousness!<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m going to be eating this alone, I spread the messier ingredients almost right to the edges of the tortilla. Not gonna lie, this can still get a little drippy! I don\u2019t care if I\u2019m by myself, but if I\u2019m making this for other people I usually keep those ingredients more centered in each quarter of the tortilla. They will spread out when the sandwich gets folded.<\/p>\n

You can absolutely do this with other ingredients. You could make a BLT, a grilled cheese with tomato, a pizza tortilla, basically any sandwich that you want to eat hot on a tortilla. But I think it lends itself best to a breakfast sandwich. You can put in whatever ingredients you want, like omelette ingredients (mushrooms, peppers, onions, cubed ham, etc.). I\u2019m a vegetarian, so I keep mine pretty simple. <\/p>\n

\n
\"Eggs\"Eggs<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

A couple notes about the eggs, which are the star of the show here. First, if you\u2019re using black beans, you\u2019ll find that they stay in the sandwich much better if you cook them in the eggs. Second, if you don\u2019t rinse the beans really well, they will turn the eggs a very ugly shade of brown. The eggs will still taste great, but the presentation might look a little weird. <\/p>\n

Last, you want to make the eggs as last-minute as possible. You want everything to be ready for them, so that they don\u2019t sit around waiting. I\u2019ve found that one egg fits well inside of a jumbo tortilla.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re eating the sandwich, tip it towards the folded side and away from the open side, so that the salsa and sour cream will stay inside better.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it! Experiment with ingredients, and please report back if you develop something unique.<\/p>\n
