Chorizo Breakfast Burritos Eggs Potatoes (Print Version)

Chorizo, potatoes, eggs, and cheese create a flavorful Tex-Mex burrito for a filling morning meal.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 250 g fresh chorizo sausage, casing removed and crumbled
02 - 2 medium russet potatoes (about 350 g), peeled and diced small
03 - 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
04 - 1 small red bell pepper, diced
05 - 4 large eggs
06 - 60 ml whole milk
07 - 100 g shredded cheddar cheese
08 - 2 tbsp olive oil
09 - Salt, to taste
10 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Assembly

11 - 4 large flour tortillas (25 cm)
12 - 60 ml salsa (optional)
13 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
14 - Hot sauce, to taste (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, about 10–12 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate and set aside.
02 - In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sauté the finely chopped onion and diced bell pepper until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
03 - Add crumbled chorizo to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
04 - Return cooked potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo mixture. Stir well to combine. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
05 - In a bowl, whisk eggs with whole milk, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into a separate nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, gently stirring, until softly scrambled, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat.
06 - Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
07 - Place a quarter of the chorizo-potato mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with scrambled eggs, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Add salsa, cilantro, and hot sauce as desired.
08 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly to form a burrito. Serve immediately.
