Chorizo and Egg Breakfast Burrito
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 4 ounces chorizo sausage, casing removed
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large flour tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully cooked and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Push the chorizo and vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the other side. Scramble the eggs until just set, then mix them with the chorizo and vegetables in the skillet. Remove from heat.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
- Divide the chorizo and egg mixture between the two tortillas, then sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll them up tightly to form burritos.
- In the same skillet used to cook the chorizo and eggs, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve the chorizo and egg breakfast burritos with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce if desired.
