B3: The Breakfast Burrito Bible

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE ULTIMATE BREAKFAST ITEM

Generally speaking, Jackson Hole locals are looking for two things when it comes to breakfast: convenience and saturation. When you consider those two factors, it’s no wonder that breakfast burritos are pretty much available every half mile in town. From your classic grocery store selection to some of the finer bespoke options in town, we’ve done the work required to get you all the beta you need to find the breakfast burrito of your dreams.

1. Sweet Cheeks Meats

What started as a lazy habit has quickly turned into a Tuesday tradition for many people in Jackson. On that day Sweet Cheeks (Gold–Best Local Food or Drink Producer, pg. 60) makes their signature breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs, cheese, meat, and their oh-so-delectable Oaxaca gravy. They’re not so big that you can’t devour them while driving, but they’re also not too small—this thing will keep you fueled ‘til lunch and beyond, whether you’re at the office or the mountain.

2. Jackson Whole Grocer & Cafe

Yet another great option for breakfast burritos, the “Whole G” (Gold–Best Grocery Store, pg. 61) makes theirs fresh every morning and offers a few options (meat, veggie, and occasionally chicken). The Whole Grocer’s burritos are huge, and sometimes after consuming one, I’m slightly appalled that the whole thing fits in my stomach.

3. Lucky’s Market

Honestly, Lucky’s (Bronze–Best Health Food, pg. 43) burritos are the best bang for your buck. Topping out at just $4.39 (with tax!), this is one of the cheapest options for a breakfast burrito in town, while still maintaining a solid level of flavor and size. Pro tip: go with the chorizo option if it’s available. But whatever you do make sure to get there early, as they tend to run out quickly in the mornings!

4. Phillips 66 Gas Station

One day this past winter, I was planning on skiing in the sidecountry at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and I realized my avalanche beacon was out of batteries. In a rush to get ready, buy new batteries, fill up on gas, and eat breakfast, I figured the fastest route to the mountain would probably be to try and attempt all of those things at the Phillips 66. Though I fully intended to just buy a granola bar, I saw their breakfast burrito offering and decided to give it a shot. Going against everything I knew about gas station burritos, I was pleasantly surprised at first bite — these things are made fresh every morning and stuffed with all the cheesy, sausage-y, and eggy goodness that qualify as an A+ burrito-based breakfast.

5. Creekside Market & Deli

While it’s true they are known for their loaded lunch sandwiches (Gold–Best Sandwhich Shop, pg. 56), Creekside also deserves breakfast burrito respect. There’s a chance you may have to wake up before sunrise to secure one of these bad boys, but let’s just say the juice is worth the squeeze! Their burritos are just as packed with ingredients as their infamous sandwiches and are the perfect adventure fuel for those heading up into Grand Teton National Park (Bronze–Best Biking, pg. 14).
