A tasty breakfast wrap featuring California Avocado slices and a hash brown patty.
Inspiration strikes in the strangest of places sometimes. I’m one of those people who always keeps a notebook and pen by my bed because I can write the absolute best blog posts in my sleep. When I wake up I try to remember what my blog post idea was and jot it down in a notebook. Of course, what I wrote in my dreams is never as good as what I end up putting down on paper.
My second most popular place for inspiration is the shower. Seriously, the one place I am during the day without pen and paper is the one place my most genius ideas pop up. 99% of the time my mushy brain can’t remember my genius idea by the time my shower is over. (Funny story… my old boss used to have dry erase markers in his shower and would write things down on the shower door when inspiration would strike! He’d also always write on his car windows when he’d be stuck in traffic. Random.)
Inspiration for today’s recipe came from the strangest of places… I was actually getting the oil changed in our van and I looked across the street at the Taco Bell restaurant and noticed a sign in their window that said they now serve breakfast! I was totally surprised because our Taco Bell is never busy…I’m wondering how they can keep enough customers coming through to justify staffing over the breakfast hour. But anyway, I then noticed that they had a breakfast “crunch wrap”…basically a breakfast burrito with a full hash brown, cheese and eggs inside . Kind of random, but totally worth a try. I’m all for shoving all the things in a tortilla and calling it breakfast. I would eat everything wrapped up in a tortilla if I could!
I came home after my inspirational Taco Bell sighting and decided to take their crunch wrap uptown a bit… I used a Spinach Herb flavored tortilla wrap and added some bacon and fresh California Avocados. I skipped the cheese (although it’d be a tasty addition if you wanted to add it) and added some diced tomatoes to my scrambled eggs. This little Taco Bell inspired creation was actually really, really good! I don’t know why I’m surprised, but I kind of was a tad bit skeptical about the whole hash brown in the wrap.
Even though I refuse to talk about the end of summer and school starting again being just around the corner, this will definitely be a frequent grab it and go breakfast at our house once the “s” word starts back up. I hope you enjoy it!

Wow, this is perfect! I haven’t started cooking my sunny side up eggs and bacon yet. I am printing this and making this. Much healthier than what I was going to eat so my doctor will be happy with that.
Chrissy says
This looks FANTASTIC! I am warming up to the idea of Avocados and eggs… the Lyfe Kitchen that just opened has them in their breakfast burrito’s too.. YUMMY!
Darcy says
Yum! I will have to make these – I wonder if they’d freeze well? PS – A lot of ranchers around here drive around with dry erase markers in their pickups too – they write down sick cow’s numbers, cows that have calved, etc. on their window. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a bit crazy – but now it’s just “the norm” around here. 🙂

I love putting things in wraps, such a handy way to eat things! I’m a notebook by the bed person too, and it’s totally worth it when I wake up coherent enough to remember what I need to write down 🙂
Becca from ItsYummi.com says
I’m all over this sandwich! Bacon, avocado, and carbs?! YES, please!
Molly - Doughvelopment says
I often get recipe ideas as I am falling asleep, but typically forget by the time I wake up, ugh! I have a running list of recipe ideas on my phone because it is almost always with, not in the shower so no help there! That’s too funny about your former boss!
I could so go for one of these right now, with cheese of course!

I love hash browns – such a good idea to add it to the wrap!! P.S. My friend has a dry erase marker board in her shower. It’s the coolest thing!!
Kate @ Framed Cooks says
First of all, I am SO with you on the inspiration in the shower thing – maybe because it’s the one place I get a little peace and quiet! And second, this looks fabulous! Bacon, avocado and a wrap – now that’s how to start the day. 🙂
