Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Chorizo
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup White cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas (large)
- 1 medium Bell pepper (diced)
- 1 small Onion (diced)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 2 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the chorizo for 6-8 minutes, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula, until fully cooked and slightly crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Wipe out the skillet and lower the heat to medium-low. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, cooking until the eggs are soft and slightly creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, place a tortilla on a clean surface. Add a portion of the scrambled eggs, cooked chorizo, sautéed vegetables, and shredded white cheddar cheese down the center of the tortilla.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro and hot sauce if desired. Enjoy your Chorizo and White Cheddar Breakfast Burritos!
