The Story
This bastardized breakfast burrito emerged from Korean-Mexican food trucks prowling Los Angeles in the 2000s—Korean immigrants discovered that sriracha's fermented chili heat paired brilliantly with honey's floral sweetness, then wrapped the whole mess in Mission tortillas because apparently even fusion cuisine needs proper Mexican engineering to hold it all together without exploding.
Regional Twist
In Tijuana's Zona Norte, they swap Mission tortillas for thick Sonoran flour tortillas and replace sriracha with locally-made salsa macha mixed with raw honey from Baja's desert wildflowers.

💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Cook your scrambled eggs to exactly 160°F internal temperature, then immediately remove from heat as they'll continue cooking from residual heat and reach the perfect 165°F without becoming rubbery.technique160°F removal temp
- ✓Render bacon fat slowly at 325°F for 12-15 minutes to extract maximum fat (about 30% of bacon weight) which will create the perfect cooking medium for your eggs and prevent sticking.timing325°F, 12-15 minutes
- ✓Warm your tortillas to 140°F before assembly because the heat activates gluten proteins making them 40% more pliable and less likely to crack during rolling.technique140°F
- ✓Mix honey and sriracha in a 6:1 ratio (120g honey to 20g sriracha) before drizzling to ensure even distribution and prevent the honey from crystallizing when it contacts the acidic sriracha.ingredient6:1 ratio
- ✓Sear the assembled burritos seam-side down first for 2-3 minutes at medium heat to create a protein seal that prevents unraveling and adds structural integrity through Maillard browning.technique2-3 minutes seam-side
