Ingredients:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Potatoes:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Chorizo:
- In the same skillet, add the chorizo sausage. Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully cooked and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (or cream). Pour the eggs into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables, and gently scramble until the eggs are just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Burritos:
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet. Divide the cooked potatoes evenly among the tortillas, followed by the chorizo and egg mixture. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll the Burritos:
- Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, creating a burrito. If desired, you can toast the burritos in a hot skillet for a minute on each side to make them crispy.
- Serve:
- Serve the breakfast burritos hot, with salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro on the side if desired.
Breakfast Burrito with Potatoes and Chorizo is a delicious, filling meal that combines all your breakfast favorites into one convenient wrap. Whether enjoyed fresh off the skillet or packed for a quick bite later, this burrito is the perfect way to start your day with a burst of flavor.
