Breakfast Burritos: Eggs, Potatoes & Chorizo

Shared with me by: Jay C (friend)

For a healthier version, use ground turkey chorizo.

Ingredients

  • 6 Yukon gold potatoes, diced very small
  • 1/2 c. chopped onion
  • olive oil
  • Mexican chorizo pork sausage, casing removed (about 1 cup) - See Notes
  • 8-10 eggs, whisked and blended
  • Queso Fresco cheese (Mexican), crumbled or shredded
  • Salsa
  • 10-12 regular size flour tortillas
  • Sriracha or salsa, for serving

Instructions

Fry potatoes and onions, in a little olive oil until lightly browned and soft. Transfer to a large bowl.

Add chorizo sausage to the fry pan and cook for about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to a plate lined with paper towel to drain any excess fat. Wipe out fry pan. Add chorizo to the bowl with the potatoes.

Add a little butter or margarine to the fry pan and add the eggs; scramble until egg is cooked through. Add the eggs to the bowl with the potatoes and chorizo. Mix all together to a the filling for the burritos.

If serving the burritos right away, wrap tortillas in foil. Heat oven to 350 degrees to warm (about 5 minutes). Or heat in microwave a few seconds to warm.

To serve, place a little of the potato, chorizo and egg mixture onto a warm tortilla.

Top with a little Queso Fresco cheese and salsa. Roll up and enjoy.

Drizzle a little salsa or sriracha on top if desired. The chorizo is pretty spicy, so you may not want the extra heat of the sriracha. Personal preference.

Will make about 10-12 burritos. If you have leftover filling, just heat and eat topped with a little salsa and cheese. Just as good without wrapped in tortilla.

NOTE: I also like to use a 1 lb. tube of Jennie-O Chorizo Turkey Sausage for a healthier version.

FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS:. You can make and assemble ahead, but don’t preheat tortillas. Assemble, wrap each burrito well in Saran Wrap and freeze them all in a Ziplock freezer bag. To eat, thaw in refrigerator overnight and heat in microwave.
