Ingredients
- Chorizo Sausage – 1 lb crumbled
- Eggs – 6 large
- Bell Peppers – 1 red 1 green, diced
- Onion – 1 medium diced
- Cheddar Cheese – 1 cup shredded
- Flour Tortillas – 4 burrito-sized
- Olive Oil – 1 tbsp for sautéing veggies
- Salt & Pepper – To taste
- Optional Toppings: Salsa Sour Cream, Avocado, Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Chorizo: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled chorizo. Stir occasionally, cooking until browned and crispy. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add olive oil and sauté diced bell peppers and onions over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly charred. Set aside with the chorizo.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a separate pan, melt a little butter over medium-low heat. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper, then cook gently, stirring occasionally to achieve soft, fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, briefly warm the tortillas over medium heat until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos: Layer scrambled eggs, chorizo, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
- Toast the Burritos: For a crispy finish, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and toast the burritos for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve & Enjoy: Slice the burritos in half and serve immediately with your favorite toppings like salsa, avocado, or sour cream.
Notes
- For a milder version, use turkey chorizo or reduce the amount of chili powder and hot sauce.
- This recipe can be easily made vegetarian by omitting the chorizo and adding more veggies like mushrooms, zucchini, or spinach.
