A flour tortilla wrapped around scrambled egg, hash browns, bacon or chorizo, cheese and a pour of red or green chile. Santa Fe's coined term for it dates to Tia Sophia's 1975 menu.
The breakfast burrito existed informally across Hispano-Mexican households for decades, but Tia Sophia's downtown Santa Fe is credited with putting the term breakfast burrito on a restaurant menu in 1975. From there it spread across New Mexico, into national fast-food chains and back into Santa Fe at every casual spot from Palacio Cafe to El Chile Toreado.
