Ingredients
Breakfast Burrito Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 100 g chorizo (crumbled)
- 1 large tortilla
- ¼ cup shredded cheese
- 2 tbsp diced onions
- 2 tbsp diced bell peppers
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: salsa or hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled chorizo until it is browned and cooked through, releasing its flavorful oils.
- Sauté the vegetables: Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the chorizo, cooking until the vegetables soften and become fragrant.
- Prepare the eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Scramble the eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with chorizo and vegetables. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully scrambled and set but still moist.
- Warm the tortilla: Heat the large tortilla in a dry skillet or microwave until it is soft and pliable for rolling.
- Assemble the burrito: Spoon the scrambled egg mixture onto the center of the warmed tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top.
- Roll the burrito: Fold the sides in and roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.
- Serve: Serve your burrito warm, optionally accompanied by salsa or hot sauce for added spice and flavor.
Notes
- Use turkey or chicken chorizo for a lighter protein option with less fat.
- Add sliced avocado or guacamole for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
- Wrap the burrito in foil for easy grab-and-go meals or breakfast on the move.
