If you’ve never made a burrito that calls for tequila, well, you’re in for a nice surprise.
On Wednesday, chef and restaurateur Jeremy Fall whipped up his latest tasty meal, the Gratin Fundido Burrito, alongside singer-songwriter-producerMiguelon the newest episode of theirBeats for Breakfastseries — and PEOPLE has the recipe exclusively.
Among the ingredients required for the burrito are raclette cheese, dry rib rub seasoning, vegan chorizo, Mexican lager and, of course, tequila.
“If I had to sum this burrito up, I would say it’s the U.N. of burritos. It mixes in my French roots with the gratin dauphinois inspiration and raclette cheese. It also draws from some of my Tunisian background using a tortilla that’s made of chickpeas,” Fall, 30, tells PEOPLE of the burrito’s flavor profile.

“Miguel’s Mexican background and love for meatless options inspired the vegan chorizo. There’s a hint of Americana with the rib rub, a hint of Asian flavor with the Sriracha,” adds the Los Angeles native, whose mother owned restaurants and whose stepfather was a chef.
Says Fall: “Overall, it’s a love letter to Los Angeles, the cultural melting pot where Miguel and I both grew up. It’s what makes our city what it is and burritos are a staple of that California vibe.”
