Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Mexican chorizo (raw, uncooked)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups diced Yukon Gold or russet potatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)
- Optional: chopped cilantro, salsa, hot sauce, sour cream, avocado
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet. Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook 10–12 minutes until golden and tender. Remove and set aside.
- Cook the chorizo: In the same skillet, cook chorizo for 7–9 minutes until browned and slightly crispy. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Scramble the eggs: Whisk eggs with milk (if using). Cook gently in a separate pan until just set.
- Assemble burritos: Lay out tortillas. Add chorizo, potatoes, scrambled eggs, and cheese. Top with salsa, avocado, or sour cream as desired.
- Roll and wrap: Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Toast in a skillet for a golden finish if desired.
- Serve: Slice in half, garnish with cilantro or hot sauce, and enjoy warm.
Notes
- Use warm, pliable tortillas to prevent tearing.
- Don’t overstuff; balance fillings for easier rolling.
- Cook potatoes until crispy for the best texture.
- Chorizo grease can make burritos soggy—drain if necessary.
- Great for meal prep—wrap and freeze for quick breakfasts.
