Green Eggs & Ham Breakfast Burrito
Breakfast is one of the most active grab-n-go dayparts. The family-owned Biscuitville chain offers several portable items, including this popular burrito. It’s named after the Dr. Seuss children’s classic, Green Eggs and Ham, but the ingredients are a bit upgraded from the ones used in the book. The Black Forest ham, cilantro pesto and queso fresco will appeal to adult palates.
