But one doughnut chain in southern California has crafted a treat that avoids the flavor binary altogether. In the tradition of hybrids like the [cronut](http://time.com/3475343/now-you-can-make-cronuts-at-home-with-this-official-recipe/?iid=sr-link3), [cruffin](http://time.com/3731506/cruffin-foxcroft-ginger/?iid=sr-link4) and [bruffin](http://www.thebruffin.com/), a humble pastry shop called Surfin’ Donuts offers [an intriguing delicacy](https://www.instagram.com/p/8GKh41oYPH/?tagged=doughrito) they’ve named the “doughrito.” It’s a burrito (with eggs, meat, cheese, salsa and a flour tortilla wrapper), but it’s also stuffed with a sweet glazed doughnut. One intrepid FoodBeast reporter discovered the unique meal on a recent outing, and [offered a rave review](http://www.foodbeast.com/news/doughrito-donut-breakfast-burrito/). Bakeries across the country, take note: this could very well be the next great breakfast food. And unlike a fancy cronut, anyone can make this — even at home. Let’s get cooking. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4370038/doughrito-doughnut-burrito/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4370038/doughrito-doughnut-burrito/"},"headline":"The 'Doughrito' Might Be the Next Great Breakfast Food","datePublished":"2016-06-15T17:23:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:24.311Z","description":"Move aside, cronut.
