INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

• 8 large eggs
• 8 oz beef chorizo
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup diced onion
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas

HOW TO MAKE CHORIZO BREAKFAST BURRITO

Making a Chorizo Breakfast Burrito is all about layering flavors and taking your time with the eggs. This is the part where the kitchen starts to feel cozy and alive.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until soft and fragrant. Stir in the beef chorizo, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Let it brown slightly so the spices bloom and release their aroma.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Lower the heat and pour the eggs into the skillet with the chorizo mixture. Gently stir, cooking slowly until the eggs are just set and fluffy. Sprinkle in the shredded cheese and let it melt into the eggs.

Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft. Spoon the filling into the center of each tortilla, fold in the sides, and roll tightly into a burrito. Serve warm and enjoy every bite.

HELPFUL TIPS

• Cook the eggs low and slow for the best texture.
• Warm tortillas are easier to roll and less likely to tear.
• Add fresh toppings like avocado or salsa just before serving for extra flavor.
