- 1 large tortilla
- ¼ cup shredded cheese
- 2 tbsp diced onions
- 2 tbsp diced bell peppers
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Ingredients

Instructions
- Cook Chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the crumbled chorizo until it is browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Prepare Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined.
- Scramble Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Stir continuously to scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked and fluffy.
- Warm Tortilla: Warm the tortilla in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
- Assemble Burrito: Spoon the egg and chorizo mixture onto the center of the warmed tortilla, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Roll Burrito: Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly into a burrito shape.
- Serve: Serve the burrito warm with optional salsa or hot sauce on the side for extra flavor and heat.
Notes
- Use turkey or chicken chorizo for a lighter, lower-fat option.
- Add sliced avocado inside the burrito for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
- Wrap the burrito in foil to make it a convenient grab-and-go meal for busy mornings.
