> [@Una\_Persson](#): > > Yes. You just use Aunt Jemima pancake mix, poured out into 16-inch rounds and cooked like a normal pancake, to make the “tortilla”. Then fill the pancake with bacon, egg, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, diced green and red peppers, some fried onions, some fried diced potatoes, and some warm Mexican salsa. Roll it up into a mass, then cover it with 3 fried eggs, and then drizzle a little maple syrup on it - just a hint. Serve with a side of bacon, a side of hashed browns, and a dollop of guacamole and sour cream. I call it the “good morning buritto.” **Fierra** is a very, very lucky woman. ---

[QUOTE=Cheshire Human] **Why is this tolerated?** [/QUOTE] I don’t know, you do seem to have a history of posting insults out of the Pit. That’s not what you’re talking about? > [@Peter\_Morris](#): > > Junior modding, maybe? Telling other people what’s against the rules? No, **FTXMastermind** does not appear to be junior modding, imo. He is stating what he thinks occurs. He is not giving anyone instructions. Whereas **Cheshire Human** makes a personal comment that did draw a mod note to take it to the Pit, and follows up with this thread where he begins his comment with an insult (minor, but still violation). ---

And jalapenos are probably all you can add. Milder peppers would just have their flavour getting lost among all the other flavours, and hotter peppers would just drown out other flavours. ---

> [@billfish678](#): > > I was kinda wondering about that. I was sitting here thinking “damn, thats just for breakfast? Sounds like more like full days worth of food to me!” Yeah, I tend to cook big and have leftovers for days afterwards. I only weigh 124 as of this morning, and Fierra 100 pounds, so we really don’t eat that much at any sitting. ---

That really does sound yummy, **Una** , but I’m getting myself healthy and I think I’ll just bookmark it for a special occasion. (I’ve dropped 28 pounds in the last 10 weeks, and I’m exercising almost every day!) ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > Why is this tolerated? My dislike of maple syrup, or the lack of ingredients which I am not missing should not disqualify me from enjoying breakfast burritos! Get some dang flour, you have fat if you have bacon (already salty, I might add), and make some tortillas. Seriously, unleavened bread is easier than pancakes. Mmmmmmm, homemade tortillas. When you have homemade tortillas, you don’t need to eat a breakfast burrito. Just eat tortillas with butter until you can’t move anymore. ---
