  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 burrito

Ingredients

Chorizo and Vegetables

  • 100 g chorizo, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp diced onions
  • 2 tbsp diced bell peppers

Eggs and Cheese

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Wrap

  • 1 large tortilla
  • Optional: salsa or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook Chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled chorizo. Cook until browned and flavorful, stirring occasionally to break it up.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Prepare Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and pepper until fully combined.
  4. Scramble Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet over the chorizo and vegetables. Stir gently to scramble and cook until the eggs are set but still moist.
  5. Warm Tortilla: Heat the tortilla briefly in a dry pan or microwave until warm and pliable.
  6. Assemble Burrito: Spoon the scrambled egg mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
  7. Roll Burrito: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
  8. Serve: Enjoy your burrito as is or serve with salsa or hot sauce on the side for an extra kick.

Notes

  • Use turkey or chicken chorizo for a lighter, leaner protein option.
  • Add sliced avocado inside the burrito for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
  • Wrap the burrito in foil to make it easy to take on-the-go or to keep warm.
