If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to visit beautiful New Mexico, I hope you tried a green chile breakfast burrito. They’re truly one of the highlights of our amazing state. You can, of course, opt for red chile on top. I included the recipe for green because I personally prefer it, but feel free to substitute red if you like.

You could also omit the green chile sauce or use a different topping instead, if you don’t have access to green chiles. These burritos are easily one of the most satisfying things you can have for breakfast and they give you lots of energy to start your day. I find that when I travel to other places for extended periods of time, green chile breakfast burritos are the thing I look forward to enjoying when I return.

Wild Boar Bacon Takes Any Meal To The Next Level

If you’ve never tasted our wild boar bacon before, get ready to be obsessed. Bacon is already known for being one of the most delicious foods in existence. Our wild boars roam the forests of the Southwest, foraging their natural preferred diet of roots, nuts, berries and tubers. This gives our wild boar meat a nutty, complex flavor profile that has so much depth and dimension compared to conventional pork bacon. It’s also slightly less greasy than conventional bacon and contains more vitamins and minerals.

• 3 large potatoes, shredded
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

To make the burritos:

1. Cook the wild boar bacon until it’s nice and crispy. Set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Melt the ¼ cup of bison tallow in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When hot, add in the shredded potatoes and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook the potatoes for several minutes, pressing them gently down into the bottom of the skillet.
4. Use a wooden spoon to mix the potatoes, scraping them up from the bottom of the pan. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Stir to combine. Press the mixture down into the bottom of the skillet to continue cooking. After 10-15 minutes, the mixture should be golden brown. Add in the lightly beaten eggs, once again scraping the contents of the skillet from the bottom to mix. Once the eggs are cooked, remove from the heat.
5. Assemble the burritos. Divide the potato and egg mixture between the four flour tortillas. Distribute the wild boar bacon evenly between the burritos, placing on top of the potato and egg mixture. Roll the burritos up, folding the edges under.
6. Flip the burritos so that they’re seam side down on a baking sheet. Top generously with green chile sauce and cheese.
7. Bake the burritos for approximately 3-6 minutes.
