Burritos stuffed with chorizo sausage, potatoes, eggs, salsa and plenty of melted cheese!

 Ingredients:

  • 1 pound fresh chorizo sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 pound potatoes, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
  • 8 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large (12+ inch) flour tortillas
  • 4 ounces cheese (such as cheddar or jack), sliced or shredded
  • 1/2 cup salsa verde

Instructions:

  1. Cook chorizo: Cook the chorizo in a large pan over medium heat until cooked through.
  2. Cook potatoes: Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat, add potatoes seasoned with paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until golden brown on all sides.
  3. Sauté vegetables and cook eggs: Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat, add the onions and jalapeno, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, seasoned with salt and pepper, and cook scrambled style.
  4. Assemble burritos: Divide the sausage, potatoes, eggs, cheese, and salsa between the tortillas, wrap, and optionally toast in a pan over medium heat until lightly golden brown.

Tips:

  • If you have 3 pans and burners, you can cook the sausage, potatoes, and eggs at the same time!
  • Make any of the components ahead of time and store in the fridge.
  • These burritos are great for a quick, on-the-go breakfast!
  • Replace chorizo with breakfast sausage or bacon.
  • Replace potatoes with tater tots or hash browns.
  • Roast the potatoes in the oven instead of pan frying.
  • Replace salsa verde with your favorite salsa, sweet chili sauce, or pico de gallo.
  • Add avocado or guacamole.
  • Add sour cream.
