Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 oz chorizo sausage (ground)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium potato (diced)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Salsa (optional, for serving)
- Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- Avocado (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the potatoes: In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables and cook, stirring gently, until scrambled and fully cooked.
- Assemble the burritos: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Divide the chorizo, potatoes, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese evenly among the tortillas.
- Wrap and serve: Roll the tortillas into burritos by folding in the sides and rolling from one end. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and avocado if desired.
Notes
- You can add extra toppings like jalapeños, hot sauce, or fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
- For a healthier twist, use whole wheat tortillas and substitute turkey chorizo.
