Ingredients
  • 8 oz Mexican Chorizo
  • 6 Large Eggs
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 4 Flour Tortillas (large)
  • 1/2 cup Diced Onion
  • 1/2 cup Diced Bell Pepper (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • To taste Salt and Pepper
  • Your favorite hot sauce (optional)

Prepare the Chorizo

Remove the chorizo from its casing (if applicable). Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease. Set aside.

Sauté Vegetables (optional)

If using, add a tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Scramble the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist.

Assemble the Burritos

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the cooked chorizo, scrambled eggs, sautéed vegetables (if using), and shredded cheddar cheese onto the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and tortillas.

Serve

Serve the burritos immediately. Optionally, you can lightly toast the assembled burritos in a dry skillet for a crispy exterior. Serve with your favorite hot sauce or salsa.
