Back of House: Machaca Breakfast Burritos at Sito’s Fresh Market (VIDEO)

Oct 27, 20231 min read

Not all breakfast burritos are created equal! Machaca is a preserved dried meat that gets rehydrated and folded into eggs, cheese, and pico de gallo in a huge tortilla at Sito’s Fresh Market. Chef Aaron shows us how all these ingredients come together to make a satisfying meal for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner.

Visit Sito’s to get this burrito or any of their amazing products like the in-house made chiltepin salsa, freshly made raspados, and agua frescas to compliment your cravings!

Sito’s Fresh Market is located at 2545 E. Speedway Blvd. For more information, visit sitosfreshmarket.com.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
