The Front Range's default morning meal: eggs, potatoes, cheese and often green chile in a flour tortilla, sold from 07:00 across Fort Collins counters.
The breakfast burrito is Colorado's morning vernacular, and Fort Collins wraps its own from opening bell. Big City Burrito rolls them from 07:00 on South College, Butterfly Cafe folds breakfast burritos in the Butterfly Building on Laporte Avenue, and Illegal Pete's runs weekend breakfast service until 13:00 with green chile on request. The dish suits the town's rhythm: portable, cheap, and equally at home before a lecture, a trailhead or a shift.
