Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 4 flour tortillas (or low-carb wraps)
- 4 eggs, scrambled
- ½ cup chorizo, cooked
- ¼ cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Cook the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked through and slightly crispy. In a separate bowl, scramble the eggs until fluffy and fully cooked.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay out each flour tortilla flat. Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs, cooked chorizo, and shredded cheese onto the center of each tortilla.
- Fold the Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll up tightly to enclose the filling, forming a burrito shape.
- Heat the Griddle: Preheat the griddle over medium heat and add the tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- Cook the Burritos: Place the folded burritos seam side down on the griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing lightly and flipping carefully to achieve a crispy, golden brown exterior on both sides.
- Serve: Remove from the griddle once evenly crispy and heated through. Optionally, add avocado slices or hot sauce for extra flavor and serve immediately.
Notes
- Add fresh avocado slices or your favorite hot sauce to enhance flavor and add creaminess or spice.
- Use low-carb tortillas for a lighter, lower-carb option without sacrificing taste.
- Ensure the chorizo is fully cooked before assembling for food safety and best taste.
- Press burritos gently on the griddle for an even crisp outside without bursting the fillings.
