Description

Start your day with these delightful breakfast burritos filled with spicy chorizo, fluffy potatoes, and melty cheese—a breakfast that’s sure to satisfy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh chorizo
  • 2 cups peeled Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the Yukon Gold potatoes into small cubes (about half an inch).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the chorizo until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook for about 10-12 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then pour them into the skillet once the potatoes are cooked through. Stir gently until scrambled and fully cooked, around 3-4 minutes.
  5. Lay out tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon generous portions of the chorizo mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, then roll them tightly.
