Ingredient Notes
1 cup of shredded cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, adds a creamy texture. 2 tablespoons of fresh salsa brings a zesty kick—use store-bought or homemade. 1 pound of eggs provides protein and richness; feel free to use egg whites for a lighter version. 1/2 cup of cooked and crumbled chorizo adds authentic Mexican flavor; substitute with turkey chorizo or a plant-based option if preferred.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In the same skillet, scramble the eggs until cooked through, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Warm tortillas in a separate pan until pliable, then layer with scrambled eggs, chorizo, cheese, and salsa.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly to form burritos and serve warm, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
Things I’ve Learned
To ensure your burritos don’t fall apart, make sure to warm the tortillas thoroughly before filling them. These breakfast burritos are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for 30-60 seconds. You can also prepare the filling in advance and assemble the burritos in the morning for a speedy breakfast.
