Chorizo Breakfast Burrito Bowls image

Breakfast burritos are definitely one of my top five favorite foods. These bowls pull my favorite part of a taco salad (the tortilla bowl!) to make a breakfast burrito that you can eat with a fork. Perfect for festive brunch situations!

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 pound Mexican chorizo
1 large russet potato, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 white onion, diced
Olive oil, as needed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt
8 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper
Tortilla Bowls, recipe follows
Shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese, for serving
Creamy Salsa Verde, recipe follows
Pickled jalapenos, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
Olive oil or neutral oil, for brushing
8 tomatillos
2 serrano peppers
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped white onion
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic

Steps:

  • Add the chorizo to a nonstick skillet and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate, leaving as much oil from the chorizo as possible in the skillet.
  • Add the potatoes, red peppers and onions to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, adding olive oil if the skillet ever seems dry, until the vegetables soften slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue cooking, tossing only very occasionally to allow the veggies to develop some color, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the peppers and onions are soft, 10 to 15 minutes more. Add the chorizo back in, taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Remove from the heat.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the eggs and cook, stirring continuously with a rubber or silicone spatula, until the eggs are the consistency of risotto, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately and season with a few pinches of salt and a few cracks of pepper.
  • Time to build. To each Tortilla Bowl, add 1/2 cup of the chorizo and potato mixture, some eggs, a pile of cheese, a drizzle of the Creamy Salsa Verde, a few pickled jalapenos and cilantro.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush the outsides of the tortillas with oil. Press the tortillas into jumbo muffin tins, pleating them to shape into bowls, and brush the insides with oil. (If the tortillas aren't pliable enough to mold into the cups, microwave them until they're soft.) Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They'll crisp up as they cool.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium high. Grill the tomatillos and serranos until charred on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and grill for another 5 minutes. Let the tomatillos and serranos cool, then remove the serrano stems and seeds. Add to a blender with the cilantro, onion, yogurt, salt and garlic. Blend until combined and transfer to a serving bowl.

Chorizo Breakfast Burritos image

It would be easy to give all the credit to the chorizo in these epic breakfast burritos, but it's the Tomatillo Salsa that really amps them up. So good!

Provided by Patrick Calhoun | Mexican Please

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 onion
1 jalapeno
8 eggs
4 flour tortillas
cheese (Monterey Jack or Mozzarella)
1/2 lb. chorizo (or standard sausage)
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly cracked black pepper
1 potato
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
salt
black pepper
olive oil
4 tomatillos
2 garlic cloves
2 chipotles in adobo

Steps:

  • Dice a potato and toss with salt, pepper, a dollop of oil, and 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional). Bake the diced potatoes in the oven at 400F for 20-25 minutes, giving them a toss after 15 minutes or so.
  • Husk and rinse the tomatillos. Roast the tomatillos in the oven at 400F for 10-15 minutes or until they start to turn army green. De-stem and de-seed two chipotles in adobo. Add the tomatillos, 2 peeled garlic cloves, and a single chipotle to a blender and pulse blend. Take a taste for heat level. If you want more heat add the second chipotle. If you want a thinner salsa you can add 2-3 Tablespoons of water.
  • Saute the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. Set aside when done.
  • Finely chop 1/4 onion and 1 jalapeno. (You can use less jalapeno if you want a milder version). Saute onion and jalapeno in olive oil over medium-low heat for 4-6 minutes or until tender. Whisk together 8 eggs and add them to the onion-jalapeno mixture, along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper, cooking over medium-low heat. Set aside when done.
  • To build the burritos, start by heating up a flour tortilla in a skillet for 30-60 seconds. Add the eggs, potatoes, chorizo, cheese, and salsa. Roll tight and saute in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side or until it crisps up and starts to turn brown. Serve immediately.

Provided by Susie Bulloch (heygrillhey.com)

Categories     Breakfast     Main Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

6 flour tortillas (burrito sized)
1 pound Mexican chorizo
6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
4 Tablespoons Mexican crema
4 Tablespoons butter
3 medium russet potatoes
4 Tablespoons beef tallow
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)
6 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pint cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
1/4 cup cilantro
2 Tablespoons red onion (finely minced)
1/2 jalapeno (seeded and finely minced)
juice of 1 lime
salt (to taste)
pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat your griddle (or stove top) to Medium-High heat.
  • Wash and grate your 3 potatoes, and place them onto double layered paper towels. Press out as much moisture as you can with the paper towels.
  • Prepare your eggs by cracking 6 eggs into a large bowl or pourable measuring cup. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and beat lightly with a fork.
  • Prepare your pico de gallo. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
  • Head to the griddle. Put half your beef tallow on the griddle and allow it to melt. Add the shredded potatoes on top of the melted beef tallow, and season with both salt and pepper. Lay them in a nice even layer, and do not flip them until they are golden brown.
  • Flip the hash browns and spoon the remaining beef tallow over the top so it melts in to the potatoes. This will help to crisp the other side.
  • Add the chorizo to your cook top. Break it up with the end of your spatula. When your chorizo is almost done and your potatoes have been flipped, add your eggs to your griddle.
  • Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter on your griddle top on the coolest part of your griddle (turn off a burner if need be). Pour your egg mixture on top of the melted butter and cook, stirring frequently with a spatula. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Transfer your eggs, chorizo, and hash browns to a plate so you can begin assembling your burritos.
  • Assemble your burritos. In each tortilla shell, add a spoonful of eggs, a spoonful of chorizo, crispy hash browns, and top with shredded cheese. Roll them up tightly.
  • Add 2 Tablespoons of butter to the griddle. Place the rolled burritos seam side down on the griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes until burritos are crispy on the outside.
  • Serve hot with your pico de gallo and Mexican crema.
