Description

Crispy, golden breakfast burritos filled with spicy chorizo, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted cheese, cooked to perfection on a griddle. This Mexican-inspired morning meal offers a delicious blend of savory flavors with a satisfying crunch, perfect for a moderate skill level cook.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Fold the Burritos: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll up tightly to enclose the filling, forming a burrito shape.
  4. Heat the Griddle: Preheat the griddle over medium heat and add the tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
