CHORIZO EGG BREAKFAST BURRITO RECIPE
Chorizo, egg, potato, and avocado breakfast burritos with ranchero cheese and salsa verde. Filling, tasty, and not too complicated. Just right for weekend mornings.

Steps:
- Prep the Chorizo
- Cut the chorizo in half.
- Remove the casing with your fingers and discard.
- Break the chorizo into chunks and set aside.
- Cooking the Burrito Filling
- Chop the onions and potatoes into 1/4″ pieces. Over medium heat, cook the onions in 1 tsp. oil for 1 minute.
- Add the potatoes and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until the potatoes start to brown.
- Add the chorizo and cook for 12 minutes until the chorizo has given up most of it fat.
- Beat the eggs with 1/2 tsp. salt and pour them into the pan with the chorizo, potato, and onion.
- Let the eggs set for one minute. Then turn. Cook until the eggs have just set and break up the eggs with your spatula. Cook for couple more minutes until all of the egg has cooked through.
- Rolling the Burrito
- Cut the avocado into 1/4" pieces. Slice the spring onion into very thin rings including the 2" of the green stem.
- Heat the tortillas in a dry pan until they start to puff up and become pliable. Heat them for about 30 seconds per side. Don't let the tortilla become crispy which makes it difficult to roll.
- On the warm tortillas, place the chorizo and eggs, then add about 1 oz. of crumbled cheese, a couple of tbsps. of diced avocado and 2 tbsps. of salsa.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up about 1" then fold the sides of the tortilla in about 1".
- Roll the burrito tightly tucking the sides of the tortilla in as you go. It should form a tight cylinder with even ends.
- Slice the burrito in half to serve.
- Serve with extra salsa for dipping and some chopped avocado topped with crumbled cheese and sliced spring onion on the side as a garnish.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until cooked through and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add the hash browns to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Beat together the eggs, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce in a medium bowl until well blended. Return the chorizo to the pan and pour the eggs over the potatoes and chorizo and cook, stirring, until the eggs are fluffy and just set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
- Working with one tortilla at a time, warm in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat until pliable. Top with one-quarter of the avocado and egg mixture, 1 tablespoon of the pico de gallo and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Fold in the two sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with remaining tortillas and burrito fillings. Serve with the remaining pico de gallo on the side.

Tips for Making the Best Chorizo and Egg Burritos
- Use high-quality chorizo. The better the chorizo, the better the burritos will be. Look for a chorizo that is made with fresh, flavorful pork and has a good balance of spice.
- Cook the chorizo properly. Chorizo should be cooked until it is browned and crispy. This will help to bring out its flavor and make it more flavorful.
- Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give your burritos a richer flavor and a more tender texture.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a variety of toppings. In addition to chorizo and eggs, you can also add a variety of other toppings to your burritos, such as cheese, salsa, avocado, sour cream, or black beans.
- Wrap the burritos tightly. This will help to keep them warm and prevent them from falling apart.
- Serve the burritos immediately. Chorizo and egg burritos are best served hot and fresh.
Conclusion
Chorizo and egg burritos are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can have a hot and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
