Steps:
- Cook chorizo in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until sausage turns a dark red, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Melt bacon grease in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onion and serrano pepper and continue cooking and stirring until potatoes are fork-tender, onion is translucent, and serrano pepper is soft, 2 to 6 minutes. Add eggs and chorizo; stir until cooked and completely incorporated into potato mixture, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat tortillas in a large skillet or directly on the grates of a gas stove until soft and pliable. Place 1/3 cup chorizo mixture down the center of each tortilla. Fold top and bottom of tortillas over the filling, then roll each into a burrito shape. Mist with cooking spray and place in the basket of an air fryer.
- Air fry at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 4 to 6 minutes. Flip each burrito over, mist with cooking spray, and air fry until lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes more.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Add taco seasoning, cumin, salsa, and a small amount or water (1/3 cup or less) when meat has browned and allow to simmer over medium heat until mixture is dry.
- Remove meat from heat.
- Lay 4-6 wonton wrappers out and place one pinch of cheese and one level spoonful of meat mixture in each wrapper.

- Repeat filling until out of meat mixture.
- Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle cheese over top, and replace in oven for additional 5 minutes or until cheese has melted and wontons are crisp on the edges.

MAMI'S MINI CHICKEN BURRITOS
Super easy, tasty and quick burritos. I make them with regular flour tortillas so that they come out the perfect size for my kids' small hands- if I made them with those huge burrito-size tortillas, they would never eat them! Great use for leftover cooked chicken. I divide the filling in two before I add the jalapeno and then add it to only one filling for the adults. These can also be served as an appetizer.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix chicken with the beans, tomato, tomato sauce and jalapeno. Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick skillet over low heat. If you know how to heat tortillas in a griddle, then do so, otherwise warm them slightly in the microwave between paper towels. Place one tortilla in a plate. Put about 2 tbs filling in the center of the tortilla, top with a little cheese and lettuce, if desired. Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, then fold the side closest to you over the filling and turn burritos over, enclosing the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Place seam side down on the skillet so that the burritos get nice and crispy on the outside and the cheese melts. Serve hot.

MINI CALIFORNIA-STYLE CARNE ASADA AND POTATO BURRITOS
This recipe is inspired by a burrito I get from a hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant in my California hometown. The best thing about this burrito is the french fries!

Steps:
- 1. In a large glass baking dish, combine all marinade ingredients except for flank steak. Stir until well-combined. Add flank steak and immerse into marinade, turning over to completely coat. Cover and refrigerate for anywhere between 1 hr and overnight, but no longer.
- 2. Bake shoestring potatoes on a baking sheet according to package directions. Once cooked, set aside.
- 3. While potatoes are baking, heat a large grill pan or skillet to medium-high heat. When pan in hot, place marinated meat in pan and cook for a few minutes on each side, to desired doneness. Once cooked, place on cutting board and allow to rest for a few minutes. Once rested, cut meat into small, bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
- 4. Heat a large skillet to medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Place one tortilla into the pan and sprinkle enough cheese to almost cover the surface, leaving about 1 inch of tortilla uncovered all around. Heat until cheese is just melted and bottom begins to brown and crisp.
- 5. To assemble, place warm tortilla on a plate. Add about 1/4 c of meat toward the bottom of tortilla. Next, place about 4-5 potato pieces on top of meat. Add as much guacamole and sour cream as desired.
- 6. Begin rolling tortilla from bottom, folding sides in as you roll. Cut burrito in middle. Repeat steps 4-6 for more burritos!

Steps:
- 1. Mix all of the ingredients together with a mixer.
- 2. Let chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. (the longer you let it chill, the easier it is to spread. I like to make mine the night before if I'm making them in the morning.)
- 3. Using a spatula, scoop the mixture onto a "large burrito" sized flour tortilla. Spread it evenly, leaving a half inch space at the edge you will be rolling towards. (the mixture will smoosh and overflow if you don't)
- 4. Roll the tortillas towards the end that you left space at the edge. leave the ends open. It should be the size of two fingers when you are done.
- 5. Cut into pieces, I usually get 8 pieces out of each tortilla.
Tips:
- Use a variety of tortillas. You can use flour tortillas, corn tortillas, or even whole wheat tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them so that they don't crack.
- Don't overstuff the burritos. You want the burritos to be able to close easily without bursting. If you overstuff them, they'll be difficult to eat and they'll fall apart.
- Use a variety of fillings. You can use any type of filling you like in your burritos. Some popular options include:
- Shredded chicken or beef
- Black beans or pinto beans
- Rice
- Vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and peppers
- Cheese
- Sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream
- Fold the burritos tightly. Once you've filled the burritos, fold them tightly so that they don't come apart. You can fold them in half or in thirds.
- Heat the burritos before serving. You can heat the burritos in the oven, in a skillet, or on a griddle. This will help to warm the tortillas and melt the cheese.
Conclusion:
Mini burritos are a delicious and versatile snack or meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of mini burritos that are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, try making a batch of mini burritos. You won't be disappointed!
