The grocery store near my house recently had microwavable breakfast burritos on sale for 50 cents each, and seeing as how I’m physically unable to pass up a killer deal like that I decided that it was in my best interest to buy 20 of them.
Do you know what gets really boring really fast though? Eating the same burrito for breakfast every single morning, so by day 12 I decided that I needed to try something a little different.
Since everything that I’ve ever dipped in corn dog batter and deep fried has always been amazing I determined that the same would be the case for these breakfast burritos, and guess what? I was right!
Once I had my Breakfast Burrito Corn Dogs — although I’m not even sure if I can technically refer to these as corn dogs since there’s no hot dog in the middle — the next thing I had to figure out was what to dip them in. Normally with traditional corn dogs I’ll go with ketchup, but in sticking with the breakfast theme of these I opted for salsa instead.
Prior to the salsa dip I also drizzled nacho cheese on them because as everyone knows, nacho cheese makes everything better…. Next up I think I’m going to try dipping a Big Mac in corn dog batter and deep frying it!
