Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces chorizo, casings removed
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Spicy Breakfast Burritos
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through.
- While the chorizo cooks, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the cooked chorizo. Stir gently and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still slightly soft.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro until the cheese melts and everything is well mixed.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
- To assemble, spoon a generous portion of the chorizo and egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add a spoonful of salsa on top.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve warm, with extra salsa and cilantro on the side if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh chorizo for a more robust flavor.
- Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or hot chorizo.
- Don’t overcook the eggs; they should be soft and slightly creamy.
- Warm your tortillas for easier rolling and a better texture.
Easy Variations
- Swap out chorizo for bacon, sausage, or a plant-based alternative.
- Add diced bell peppers or onions to the egg mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Top with avocado slices or hot sauce for an added kick.
- Use whole wheat or corn tortillas for a different flavor profile.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
- Crispy hash browns for a hearty side.
- A simple green salad with lime vinaigrette.
- Extra salsa or guacamole for dipping.
