Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 lb chorizo sausage, casing removed
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo sausage, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Allow it to brown evenly and cook through completely, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Once it’s done, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chorizo to a plate, leaving the flavorful oils in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Cook them until they soften and become aromatic, typically about 3 to 5 minutes. The residual oil from the chorizo will infuse the vegetables with additional flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the burrito filling.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well-blended. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir continuously while the eggs cook to ensure they scramble evenly. The goal is to have softly scrambled eggs that are not dry.
- Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet with the scrambled eggs and vegetables. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix everything thoroughly until the cheese melts and the ingredients are well-combined.
- Warm each flour tortilla briefly in a separate skillet or in the microwave for about 15 seconds to make them soft and pliable. Divide the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the tortillas, spooning it onto the center of each. Roll the tortillas tightly into burritos, making sure to fold in the sides as you roll to secure the filling.
Notes
To prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery, cook them on medium-low heat and stir continuously. If meal prepping, allow the burritos to cool before wrapping them in foil or parchment to prevent sogginess.
