Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Chorizo sausage
- 6 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Flour tortillas (large)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, chopped)
- 1 Avocado (optional, sliced)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned and fully cooked. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the cooked chorizo from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the eggs gently, stirring with a spatula to form soft curds. Continue to cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the scrambled eggs. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat and spoon a quarter of the chorizo and egg mixture onto the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Add a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and any optional toppings such as cilantro or avocado slices.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve immediately, or wrap the burritos in foil if you're taking them on the go. Enjoy!
