Boat Breakfast Burritos
Have you ever made breakfast burritos on a boat’s dashboard? If you’re spending time on a boat this summer, this is a must try recipe! Use a boat’s dash board to make breakfast burritos by simply placing cooked eggs and tortilla on the hot dash.
How to cook on a boat
A boats dash board is a consistently warm place on the vessel. This area is typically located above the steering wheel and control panels and in-between the helm’s window. The glass protects the dash area from wind and spray, and creates a sun room that traps all the heat passing through the glass. The heat reflects off of the dash, and bounces back to the glass, which creates a makeshift solar oven.

Ingredients
At Home
- 6 Eggs
- 1/2 can Black Beans
- 1/2 cup Crumbled Queso Fresco
- 1/4 cup Cilantro
- 1 Jalapeno chopped finely
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Onion chopped
- 1/4 cup Roasted Red Peppers
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
On the Boat
- 1 Tortilla
Instructions
At Home
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 6 muffin cups.
-
Heat a small skillet to medium-high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. When oil is warm add onion and jalapeño. Let cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 2 minutes stir in Roasted Red Peppers, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
-
After 2 minutes stir in Roasted Red Peppers, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Turn off stove and let sit.
-
Scoop 1 tablespoon black beans into each muffin slot.
-
Add 1 tablespoon sautéed peppers, onion and jalapeño to each muffin slot.
-
Beat 6 eggs. Crumble in 1/2 cup of Queso Fresco. Add 1/4 cup cilantro. Add salt and pepper and beat mixture for additional 30 seconds.
-
Pour 1/4 cup of egg mixture into the 8 muffin slots already filled with beans and sautéed veggies.
-
Place on top oven rack and cook for 20 minutes. Check to ensure Huevos Rancheros Eggs are cooked through by making a small incision in one of the egg muffins. Pull apart slightly and peek inside. If inside is still runny, return to stove and cook until fluffy.
On the Boat
-
Place 2 Huevos Rancheros Egg Muffins on a tortilla and set on the boats dash board by the sunniest part of the window.
-
Use the sunlight to re-heat eggs. This only works if the dash is by touch very warm to hot. Do not try to heat eggs on a cold dash, it won't work.
-
Let eggs sit for 20 minutes, then check to see if they're warm. If not, keep them in the window until they get warm. (Theres not set amount of re-heat time....depends on initial temperature of eggs, temp of the dash, and the temperature outside).
-
When you're happy with the temperature, fold burrito over eggs, and enjoy!
