Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (226g) fresh Mexican chorizo, casing removed
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¼ cup (60ml) whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) butter
  • 1 small onion (about 1 cup/150g), finely diced
  • 1 small bell pepper (about ¾ cup/100g), diced (red or green)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup (113g) shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream
  • ¼ cup (60g) fresh salsa or pico de gallo
  • 1 small avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks until it begins to brown (4-5 minutes).
  2. Add diced onions and bell peppers to the pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk with a pinch of salt and pepper. In another pan, melt butter over medium-low heat and cook eggs slowly, folding gently until just shy of fully set.
  4. Gently fold the eggs into the chorizo mixture and remove from heat.
  5. Warm tortillas using your preferred method until soft and pliable.
  6. Lay a warm tortilla flat and spread a tablespoon of sour cream across the lower third. Top with a quarter of the chorizo-egg mixture, cheese, salsa, avocado slices (if using), and cilantro.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold up the bottom over the filling and roll tightly.
  8. Optional: Toast the assembled burrito in a lightly oiled skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden.
  9. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap in foil to keep warm.
