Hatch Chile-Cherry Breakfast Wrap

By

Cooking is hard on one foot.

Rather, motivating to cook is hard.

I’m feeling a bit better now – limping much faster – but it was a struggle earlier in the week.   Sunday morning it took me 3 hours to convince myself to get up to make breakfast.  If you know me at all, you know that if I delay a meal, the struggle is real.  When I finally dragged my ass off the couch, I knew I had to make it worth the effort.  That’s just what I did with the strange sweet ‘n spicy combo.

Hatch Chile- Cherry Wrap

Hatch chiles are only in season for a few weeks.  They’re grown in one region, the Hatch Valley, along the Rio Grande in New Mexico.  The terroir gives them an deliciously strange smoky, earthy flavor.  I’m in love.

Craving some sweetness for breakfast, I loaded up my last Julian Bakery coconut wrap with cherries too.  I sautéed the hatch chiles and cherries with a bit of turkey (totally optional), and I added a schmear of Roots sriracha-mango hummus.  (I had to mix in more sriracha… some like it hot!)

Hatch Chile-Cherry Breakfast Wrap

It’s not breakfast without #yolkporn.  If you’ve never bitten into a wrap or sandwich that’s stuffed with a runny egg… well, you just haven’t lived.  The joy in insurmountable.

I’m not exaggerating.

Hatch Chile-Cherry Breakfast Wrap

That’s a wrap.

Hatch Chile-Cherry Breakfast Wrap

Hatch Chile-Cherry Breakfast Wrap

  • 1/2 C cherries, pitted and sliced
  • 1 Hatch chile, sliced
  • 1 oz turkey (optional)
  • 2 T hummus
  • 1 wrap
  • 1 whole egg

In a small pan, sauté cherries, chile, and turkey (if using).  Meanwhile, shcmear a wrap (or toast) with hummus.  When cherries and chiles are softened, transfer to the wrap.

In the same pan, cook an egg to your desired level of doneness.  Place egg on top of wrap, roll up, and enjoy!  

Note: I added basil for garnish.

I know you’ll ask… yes, I really like the wraps.  But yes, the are extremely expensive.  I buy them and hoard the pack for a couple months.

Have you tried a hatch chile?

How do you like your eggs?

  2. You had the perfect opportunity to chuck in a eggagerating pun and you didn’t….I’ve seen these wraps all over the internet and I’m intrigued- I love the sweet/salty combination and eggs which are runny- even moreso.

  3. Ugh – so sorry to hear you are hurt Laura – I saw that pic of you “flying like a ninja” on FB – so take it this is recent…if you think a fellow Atlantan can help in any way – please let me know.
    I’ve never had a hatch chile before – now I am intrigued! I love eggs – boiled, scrambled, smothered, slathered, dipped, covered – it doesn’t matter!

  4. How interesting, I would definitely give it a try though. However, I am still working my way to liking eggs……so I am not sure i have them a favorite way yet, but probably scrambled….as thats the only way I can come close to enjoying them right now haha

  6. I’m not sure how you come up with some of this stuff but it always sounds good! Plus you usually use ingredients I wouldn’t think to buy! I like your style. Get to feeling better!

  9. “you know that if I delay a meal, the struggle is real” hahaha, I’m sorry youre still in pain but hopefully you’ll be feeling better over the weekend! Are the chilies hot? I am spicy intolerant but love a smoky flavor… runny yolk all the way… but I also like my eggs scrambled with salsa on top!

  11. I love that you added cherries to this recipe. Very cool combo! Sorry about your ankle. I so know your pain. For months of being in a boot, it was awful trying to cook. Thankfully my Mom was here to help me during the worst part, but it still slowed me down a lot & drove my nuts.

    • Thank you! I abandoned taking it easy today… and I’m regretting it. Patience isn’t one of my many talents…

  12. You are genius. You never cease to amaze me with your ideas. Chile’s and cherries?
    FO LAWD!
    BRIILLLLIANT.
    Sounds like youre keeping a positive attitude re: lack of motility. Hang in there!

    Ps- I am in love with the new font on the blog.

  14. mmmmm this looks sooo good!!!! I love eggs and I’m always down for my #yolkporn. I keep seeing these dang wraps lol! I’ve gotta try them apparently and I keep hearing about hatch chilis being on sale. Is it the universe wanting me to buy them??!! It’s possible 😉 HAHA. Hope that ankle feels better real soon. I used to sprain mine all the time as a kid(I’m clumsy wouldn’t ya know lol :-D)

    • The universe is totally telling you to buy them! Totally worth it. I got them pre-roasted at Fresh Market!

  16. You went yolkporn today and I went cheeseporn. Together, we are perfect.

    I have never had hatch chilis although that’s about to change. A friend is bringing me some in the next week or so I can get my wrap (and perhaps rap) on.

  19. Love this #strangebutgood theme! I feel like I make concoctions all the time that friends who don’t cook themselves question until realizing how good it is! How are the Julian Bakery wraps? I’ve tried their bread and it’s just so cardboard-like in texture and tasteless 🙁

    • Thanks! Like I said above, they are good… but really expensive. You also need to warm them for a moment so they soften up. Don’t expect them to be like a soft tortilla though. It’s a totally different thing!

  20. Yolk porn is always a good idea as is a sweet and spicy salsa thing! I’m loving the new look of your site too 🙂 Hope the ankle is healing well.

  21. Man! I want your ankle to get better. I’m sorry it’s such a struggle. Sprains are annoying. They hurt so bad even though the damage isn’t extreme. On another level, it’s like a paper cut. It’s absurdly painful! But it’s just a tiny cut. Like I said, different level, but similar. You’ll be back to normal soon. Ice is your friend. Ice that thing like crazy. Do the ice bucket challenge on your ankle. But just leave it in the bucket.

    I’ve never tried hatch chilis. I love hot peppers. I was working to train for a spicy food challenge here in Charleston (The Bushido Spicy Tuna Roll Challenge!). It was featured on Man vs. Food a few years ago. I never did the challenge. No one would join me, and I needed a buddy. But I went crazy on any and every pepper. I doused my food in habañero hot sauce and Sriracha. I ate tai chilis by the fistfull, and I even ate a ghost pepper. It mostly gave me heartburn and made my mouth and eyes sweat. But no big thing.

    I usually go with egg whites since I want to cut fat most of the time, but I used to love a sunny side up fried egg. But mom would be all critical—-she was like “Um, you’re eating a raw egg. You’re going to get salmonella.” So annoying. But I do like an oozy yolk. That sounds gross. But it’s soooo good.

    • It is like a paper cut! So friggin’ annoying.

      I would 100% take on a spicy food challenge. Thai hot it the most painful thing I’ve put in my mouth. #twss
