A satisfying breakfast burrito combining spicy chorizo sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and optional additions like cheese, potatoes, and various toppings, all wrapped in a warm tortilla, This recipe provides a guide to making a hearty and flavorful chorizo breakfast burrito, perfect for a quick breakfast or a leisurely brunch.

  • Total Time: 25 MIN
  • Yield: 4 Burritos

Ingredients

 

  • 1/2 pound Mexican-style chorizo sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 large flour or corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup salsa (optional)
  • Optional additions: Diced potatoes, onions, bell peppers, guacamole, hot sauce

Instructions

 

  1. Cook the Chorizo: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and break it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes), draining any excess fat.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet (no need to clean it), scramble the eggs. You can add diced potatoes, onions, and bell peppers to the eggs while scrambling, if desired.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas according to package instructions (microwave, dry skillet, or oven).
  4. Assemble the Burritos: Place a portion of the chorizo-egg mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add cheese and any other desired toppings.
  5. Fold and Roll: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll it up from the bottom.

Notes

  • For a spicier burrito, use spicier chorizo or add hot sauce.
  • To make the burritos ahead of time, assemble them and wrap them tightly in foil or parchment paper. Refrigerate and reheat in the microwave or oven.
  • You can customize the fillings with other vegetables like spinach or black beans
