The combination of cultural influences, culinary innovation, fresh ingredients, outdoor lifestyle, and community tradition makes Colorado a hotspot for amazing breakfast burritos. Whether enjoyed at a local diner, food truck, sitting around a campsite, or homemade in the kitchen, breakfast burritos exemplify the vibrant and diverse food culture of the Centennial State. What makes a breakfast burrito even more Colorado? Using local green chiles!</p><p>Burritos are customizable for any taste or diet and the ingredients are versatile and fun to try in different combinations. We love green chile for the punch that it gives, its pungency ranges between 5,000 and 20,000 Scoville Heat Units, the measurement method used to rank chile heat. Pueblo chiles are comparable to moderate jalapeno peppers, and are usually a little warmer than cayenne peppers according to the <a href="https://link.mediaoutreach.meltwater.com/ls/click?upn=u001.qVOTKdQaixN-2Bn6eDpDCnUzdgQSMxiKHj-2Fn21504zecInhTqT65Bv5h6cAr-2Bsvui7wusR8EsZ2uVYZeZm8UBrW3NR7gU8QvyFtxYX4Z0zL8zBAKHa-2BDBkWaI-2BwZdjWyGMECYKe7yQpE6nJNlnRynVZwgiecsLlJO0nUogLVsFPkI-3DzVM8_tvt06j3YMU0kb1nS8t7Lxguo-2FCnttnpKD6HeKmuQhW-2FAXI4AKQA6lkbwWdE6e0SgI-2FSrzOvQgH0GB1rY7TcGwC-2BmzBcndBMDOVpIYbl9u-2FZhXKQsiD84XNaShuIn6r8-2Bsbz1QVK20WJC3qNRJTkXwHkMKBCjhXL5Rn1a0NmuzG9EEk7apVA5mcKP9n9YacPxhfkPHxxWbjytQDX6jW02c5PayRZb9mOya1YS-2BQj8vJjD0qNRPFQsMCuqVplSbzVlwfMua9452DGrP7S4NJHt1Z2PTVLXa7R3IQsltVmFQY0aj3MH79reHbixdSguvirKake7HcqsrWCRovd1PQNsRV-2B-2FxdyX9MrBUqzHRnRsK8bY1Iw-2BGouCOqxLrr2aJN9l">Pueblo Chile Growers Association</a>.</p><p>You can find several ways to make this breakfast burrito Colorado Proud by purchasing local tortillas, eggs, canned or frozen pueblo chiles, and cheese as ingredients.
