Description

Look no further for the ultimate savory breakfast. This Breakfast Chorizo Burrito is bold, flavorful and completely satisfying. It's packed with crispy baked home fries, perfectly seasoned chorizo, sauteed veggies and fluffy scrambled eggs, all topped with melty shredded cheese. Wrapped snugly in a soft tortilla and crisped in a hot skillet, it's breakfast perfection you'll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

2 russet potatoes (~520 grams) peeled, chopped and cooked into home fries

1/2 a small onion (~115 grams)

1/2 green bell pepper (~125 grams)

1 jalapeno

5 eggs

salt and pepper season to taste

1 pound chorizo sausage

1 cup (85 grams) pepper jack cheese* shredded

2-3 tablespoons (1-1.5 ounces) butter (or oil) for frying

4 burrito tortillas

salsa, sour cream and avocado as desired for serving


Instructions

  1. Bake the Home Fries according to the linked recipe or package directions if using store-bought.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter (or oil) over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, jalapeño and green pepper. Sauté until softened and tender.
  3. Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until soft, tender curds form without browning. Salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, cook the chorizo breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked through. Drain excess grease if needed.
  5. Assemble the Burritos: Place 1/4 of the home fries in the center of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the chorizo, egg mixture and cheese. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal.
  6. Melt a tablespoon of butter (or oil) in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Rotate and brown all sides.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream and guacamole or sliced avocado.
