Prep Time 50 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 4 wheat tortillas
  • 8 oz Spanish or Mexican chorizo sausage casing removed and cut into rough chunks
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup white onion minced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced

Topping

  • ½ cup cheddar cheese
  • 2 avocados sliced
  • 2 cups salsa
  • kosher salt to season

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until onions start to brown. Add chorizo chunks and bell pepper. Cook over low heat for 8-10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, beat eggs well. Add to chorizo and onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes until eggs start to set. Turn the mixture over and break up with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes until eggs have cooked through.
  • While the eggs cook, warm up a fresh dry skillet to medium-low heat. Heat the tortillas individually, 30 seconds per side. Ensure the tortilla stays soft and doesn't turn crispy.
  • Serve the cooked chorizo and egg filling into one half of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sliced avocado, and salsa.
  • Fold the burrito by bringing up the edges around the filling, and use the edge closest to you to roll the burrito into a tight cylinder, making sure you don't tear the tortilla.
  • Cut in half to serve immediately, or roll in foil to take away.
