Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Chorizo sausage
- 6 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 4 Flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 to taste Hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage (if applicable) and crumble it into a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chorizo for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and slightly crispy. Once cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the eggs gently, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until they are scrambled and just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side, or until pliable.
To assemble, place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add 2-3 tablespoons of cooked chorizo down the center, followed by a generous scoop of scrambled eggs. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Optional: Garnish the wraps with freshly chopped cilantro and drizzle on hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
