Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 6 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 Avocado (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage and cook it in the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked chorizo from the skillet and set it aside. Wipe out the skillet if needed.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper together until fully combined.
Heat the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture. Cook, gently stirring with a spatula to scramble the eggs, until just set and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds until pliable.
Assemble the burritos by layering a quarter of the cooked chorizo, scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, and optional toppings (sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, or hot sauce) on each tortilla.
Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll tightly to form a burrito.
Serve immediately while still warm, or wrap in foil for a grab-and-go breakfast.
