Breakfast is the most important, and my favorite, meal of the day. Growing up in a Filipino and Mexican cultured home, my mom’s breakfast burritos weren’t exactly your average burrito. My sister and I always appreciated the Filipino aspect, the white rice, combined with the traditional Mexican-style breakfast burrito. Nothing can beat this flavorful, filling Fusion-Style Breakfast Burrito! I have added my own twist to this by smoking the bacon. Not only does the bacon taste better smoked, but my wife especially loves the convenient clean up.
I like to stop at my local butcher shop the day before I plan on smoking the bacon to pick up some fresh bacon. I like buying the thick sliced bacon because I feel it cooks the best in the smoker. After about thirty minutes the bacon is perfectly crispy with an amazing subtle smoke flavor.
Fusion-Style Breakfast Burrito
Ingredients
- 1 lbs bacon thick sliced
- 8-10 eggs
- 1-2 cups mild cheddar cheese grated
- 1 cup calrose rice
- 4-6 flour tortillas
Instructions
-
Start your smoker. I use a Traeger so I start with the smoker on the smoke setting and let the fire establish for about five minutes. Then turn to 300 degrees, close lid and let preheat for ten minutes.
-
Place bacon directly on the grill and close lid. Smoke for about thirty minutes. I used thick sliced bacon so it took a few minutes longer, about thirty five minutes.
-
Cook one cup of calrose rice. I used an instant pot to cook my rice. But you can use a rice cooker or stovetop.
-
Finely grate one to two cups of mild cheddar cheese.
-
Scramble eight to ten eggs.
-
Preheat tortilla in pan.
-
Lay the tortilla on a flat surface. Add all ingredients, roll and enjoy.

Salsa or hot sauce optional.
