Chickichanga

First Watch puts a bold breakfast spin on the beloved chimichanga — a generously stuffed flour tortilla packed with cage-free scrambled eggs, tender grilled all-natural chicken, and melted pepper Jack cheese, folded around sweet roasted corn and hearty black beans, then pan-crisped to a golden, crackling shell. Served alongside a vibrant house-made salsa verde for a bright, tangy kick and cool sour cream to balance the heat. Every bite delivers a satisfying crunch followed by a warm, savory, and cheesy interior that makes this one of First Watch’s most exciting seasonal handheld offerings.

The Chickichanga is First Watch’s creative fusion of classic American brunch and Tex-Mex tradition. By combining the satisfying crunch of a pan-crisped chimichanga with cage-free eggs, all-natural grilled chicken, and a zesty house-made salsa verde, it delivers a one-of-a-kind brunch experience that is impossible to find anywhere else on the daytime dining scene.
