I want to start a side hustle selling breakfast burritos and I want your input. They're one of my favorite foods and I found that all the places around me? "Burrito King"? Bland mushy dogshit. The portions are good, but the actual contents are fucking terrible and they cost $14. Frozen tator tots instead of actually cooking any potatoes, or the potatoes are boiled and unseasoned. Eggs are always overcooked.

I don't think I can produce anything gourmet, but I can make something decent for cheap and toast the bitch to boot. I want to sell them for $5 a pop, operating out of my home kitchen and slinging them from my car. I'm not looking to sell hundreds a day. Maybe like 50 a few times a week. I know McDonalds and Taco Bell sell similarly cheap burritos, but they're honestly terrible and I think I can provide a better product.

>I can do that better, sell the product for cheaper, and make more money than those assholes!

Get to it OP. Show us all up.

Look into your local laws and regulations when it comes to selling food.

Or just be a facebook marketplace / craiglist ad nigger and disregard food and safety rules.

I think the McDonalds breakfast burrito is great, and people who use potatoes as filler in their breakfast burritos are doing it completely wrong.

My local small chain grocery store does a breakfast wrap every morning. I think they just use it as a way to rotate their deli case and produce. It's usually pretty good, but you never know what it's going to be until you get inside the store. I've seen them use chorizo, ground beef, keilbasa, capacola, what ever color peppers and kind of onions they need to get rid of, all sorts of different cheeses. Very rarely do they use a potato product in it.

Call it niggereats. Or wetback taco..

There is a guy who sells breakfast burritos at my local farmers market. He has a blackstone griddle, precuts all the veggies beforehand. He always has a long line and sells out.

Will do. I don't want to have any kind of actual place of business or mobile stand either, but this doesn't *quite* qualify for a cottage product permit either. I might have to get a mobile food stand permit even if I'm not using one. I feel like the overhead and upkeep of producing food like that isn't justified by the value it adds. I know some people like that, but some people also eat McDonalds breakfast burritos. I feel like I can find a healthy niche between lowqual+cheap and medqual+expensive.

I wasn't planning on using potatoes myself. I was just using that as an example. In my hometown, there was a gas station burrito joint that was actually insanely popular across the city. Their burritos were made using fried tortillas and they were loaded with greasy steak, potatoes, and cheese alongside a mild green chile condiment on the side. I bet that sounds like shit to you, but it was beloved. I once bought 10 of their steak burritos while I was in town to bring home and freeze for later.

A farmer's market is a great idea and I do love them. Selling out of a limited supply is the goal. I'm not looking to maximize profit by keeping an open operation through a set of hours either. I think that might be too much overhead and risk right off the bat for what I have in mind. I want to set a modest goal for the side business and meet it.

I'm looking at doing small volume, like selling maybe 30-40 burritos in a day, 20 days out of the month. I have a brother in construction and a younger sister in college, so I might hit them up to see if there's any possibility of being able to do small batch deliveries to people in their circle. I used to work in an office building too, and I know homemade food could sell in a heart beat if you were friendly enough with people there that you were welcome to do business, which is why I think I might be able to get away on the small scale if I promote myself and the product well.

Social media marketing will do wonders too. The ROI of investing in a logo, good business name & video editing will go a loooong way. Staples business cards onto every order that have your socials is a good move too.

Here in NYC there are hundreads of unlicensed food vendors here pulling in lots of money.
The secret is setting up in a high traffic area and paying off the cops.

Post a nice cross section pic of a burrito you made or this is a fantasy that you’ll never do and your wasting everyone’s time.

>I'm looking at doing small volume, like selling maybe 30-40 burritos in a day, 20 days out of the month
Are you doing this more as a thing you’d enjoy doing while making a little extra money? Have you priced out the input costs?

I used to live next to a breakfast burrito place that did really good business, if I remember right they had a choice of bacon, sausage, or ham as meat, and they did potatoes but it was hashbrown shreds inside the burrito (which I thought worked well).

How are you going to cook and deliver at the same time?
Just be a ghost kitchen and use delivery platforms. You'll quickly get the shits with faggots who take 6 minutes to answer the door

Use your knowledge of umami to create an addictive and delicious flavor unique to your breakfast burritos.

add fentanyl, but...
>eggs and chorizo
>shredded cheese (+$0.50)
>shredded hashbrowns (+$0.50)
>some kinda salsa, red and/or green chili, or just make it the mandatory x-mas

I'm gonna tell you 3 things OP. Listen the fuck up.
1. Crispy fried hashbrowns for the potato
2. Jack cheese
3. That motherfucking creamy/spicy green avocado sauce they got at real mexi places
I've just given you the keys to the proverbial breakfast kingdom, the rest is up to you

[ ] good breakfast burrito
[ ] $5 breakfast burrito
you may choose only one.

>>21439946 (OP)
a good breakfast burrito should have:
scrambled eggs cooked with the cheese and green chilis in it not on it.
a good sausage
maybe some potatoes but not a lot of them.
a non fluffy tortilla
should be wrapped completely before delivery to you to allow the tortilla to get to the proper consistency.

>>21439997
hey there retard, how are your CELH puts going?

$5 is going to be a hard, hard path to profitability with the price of eggs, sausage, peppers, and the cost of things like wrappers, foil, bags. I applaud your idea though, I love breakfast burritos.

$5 * 50 = $250

you’re going to spend 4 hours making these, 2 hours selling them? 3 hours? for that?

after buying the ingredients and containers, how much is that really? $100-$150? for 6 hours+ of work. at that profit you’re below fast food minimum wage in california

i think potatoes are required. although there can't be that much and they need to be crispy, like those hash brown patties.

>>21439946 (OP)
Taco Bell breakfast burritos are actually pretty bomb—better than their regular lunch burritos.
How are you going to keep them warm? And how will you prevent them from becoming soggy since you're premaking them at home? An easy answer to the second one is to grill them after assembly, although an even easier answer is to say fuck it, let em sog. There's a chain here called Good Times and their breakfast burritos are soggy as hell but still good.
Do me a favor and instead of offering a choice of sausage, bacon, or chorizo, just use all 3. That's what we all want. Plus the Mexicans know what's up with cooking your potatoes in chorizo grease.
Good luck to you burrito-anon. This is something I also would like to do.

There are quite a lot of those in my state.

I've seen some people make deals with gas stations and the like, so they just drop a bunch of burritos there in tinfoil under a heatlamp and the gas station sells them.
Normally I would charge for business advice but you can have that one free.

Also good burrito is
>eggs
>bacon
>potatoes (I think grated is good)
>cheddar cheese
>red or green chile sauce

Lots of love for hash brown / shredded / grated potatoes in breakfast burritos here but I much prefer cubed. The rest of the burrito is mush so it's nice to have that texture variation. Also, I think cubed potatoes taste better, but maybe that's because people only season hash browns with salt and pepper, but cubed potatoes often have paprika, cayenne, oregano, etc.
That said, I'll devour any breakfast burrito regardless of potato shape.

You have to get the potatoes nice and crispy for the texture difference
Undercooking is a crime

he's gonna end up raising the price a dollar every week until things balance out in his favor
