Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 200g chorizo sausage
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the chorizo sausage. Cook until the chorizo is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Prepare Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Scramble Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Stir continuously to scramble the eggs until they are cooked to your preferred consistency.
- Warm Tortillas: While the eggs are cooking, warm the tortillas either in a separate dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them pliable.
- Assemble Burritos: Spoon the chorizo and egg mixture onto the center of each warm tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and add salsa if desired.
- Roll and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from bottom to top to form a burrito. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Add avocado slices for extra creaminess and richness.
- These burritos can be wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap and frozen for convenient meal prep. Reheat before serving.
