Why Can't they Do this In Neuva Yorka

Heyzus Lopez, why can't any Mexican heritage cooks get to New York!?
.
You can go into any restaurant in LA - or any city west of the Rockies - and ask for a Breakfast Burrito.  Any Mexican guy working  in the back, or American guy that has worked a grill with Mexican guys, can make one.
.
On the big grill you..
1. Put two dollops of the scrambled egg stuff and let it spread out
2. Throw the big-ass tortilla on the opposite side of the grill.
3.Next to the eggs, you put ham or bacon (or if you are lucky, chorizo,) and use the big spatula to chop it up.
4. Between the meat and the tortilla, you put a little hash browns and raw onions.  Again use the big side of the spatula to chop it up.
5. So your back at the tortilla.  Press it down with the flat part of the spatula for 10 seconds and then toss it over to the other side.
..pause and admire the spread before you.  Soon it will be in your belly....

6. Walk back to the eggs, chop and flip.
7. Turn the meat over - chopping as you do.  Immediately mix with the chopped up scrambled eggs and chop together.
8. Turn hash browns and onions, mix and cop with egg mixture.  Create a mixture approximately as wide and long as your big spatula.
8. Pic up egg mixture, layer into tortilla.
9 Add scoop of nice salsa, fold tortilla over and put it in ...
...
a. White foam core if at institutional restaurant
b  Wax paper and foil if at roach coach
c Plate with re fried beans if you want to get all fancy.
.
COME ON NEW YORK.  How tough  is that damn-it!
