We here at Freezer Meal Frenzy were very much looking forward to trying out the Baja Breakfast Burrito by Sweet Earth. A fondness for breakfast burritos is a common theme among us, and the Baja’s ingredients almost read like a list of our favorite things: eggs, pinto beans, chipotle seitan, jack and cheddar cheeses.
But the flavor feels a little dull for such an interesting combination of tastes. These ingredients shouldn’t combine to make such a bland meal, but perhaps the balance is just not quite right. A little more egg or seitan could have given it some much-needed form, and maybe a teensy bit more chipotle pepper could have added some tang.
The texture is off as well. Even when cooked in the oven, the filling seemed a little too moist and runny for our tastes.
Unfortunately, the Baja is a pretty mediocre breakfast offering. This is especially disappointing coming from Sweet Earth, which offers a fairly robust line of delicious frozen foods. Their burritos typically rate pretty highly here at Freezer Meal Frenzy; the Baja is a rare exception.
The bright side is that Sweet Earth also offers a much better breakfast burrito: the Big Sur. Check that one out if you’re looking for a morning treat to pair with your coffee.
