Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 onion
1 jalapeno
8 eggs
4 flour tortillas
cheese (Monterey Jack or Mozzarella)
1/2 lb. chorizo (or standard sausage)
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly cracked black pepper
1 potato
1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
salt
black pepper
olive oil
4 tomatillos
2 garlic cloves
2 chipotles in adobo

Steps:

  • Dice a potato and toss with salt, pepper, a dollop of oil, and 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional). Bake the diced potatoes in the oven at 400F for 20-25 minutes, giving them a toss after 15 minutes or so.
  • Husk and rinse the tomatillos. Roast the tomatillos in the oven at 400F for 10-15 minutes or until they start to turn army green. De-stem and de-seed two chipotles in adobo. Add the tomatillos, 2 peeled garlic cloves, and a single chipotle to a blender and pulse blend. Take a taste for heat level. If you want more heat add the second chipotle. If you want a thinner salsa you can add 2-3 Tablespoons of water.
  • Saute the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. Set aside when done.
  • Finely chop 1/4 onion and 1 jalapeno. (You can use less jalapeno if you want a milder version). Saute onion and jalapeno in olive oil over medium-low heat for 4-6 minutes or until tender. Whisk together 8 eggs and add them to the onion-jalapeno mixture, along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper, cooking over medium-low heat. Set aside when done.
  • To build the burritos, start by heating up a flour tortilla in a skillet for 30-60 seconds. Add the eggs, potatoes, chorizo, cheese, and salsa. Roll tight and saute in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side or until it crisps up and starts to turn brown. Serve immediately.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium tomatillos (about 4 ounces), husked and rinsed
1 jalapeno pepper (remove seeds for less heat)
1 small red onion, quartered
2 cups roughly chopped fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems)
Juice of 1 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces dried chorizo, thinly sliced
3 1/2 cups frozen shredded or diced hash brown potatoes (about 1 pound)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 16-ounce can low-sodium refried beans
4 10-inch flour tortillas, warmed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Put the tomatillos, jalapeno and red onion on a baking sheet and broil, turning once, until tender and charred in spots, about 10 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a blender and add the cilantro, lime juice, 1/4 cup water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; puree until smooth.
  • Meanwhile, cook the chorizo in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add the potatoes to the drippings in the skillet; cover and cook, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and warmed through, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to the bowl with the chorizo and stir.
  • Add the eggs to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, until scrambled, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and cover. Wipe out the skillet and add the beans; warm through. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the beans in the center of each tortilla and top with the potatoes, chorizo, eggs and cheese. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up. Serve with the tomatillo salsa.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 ounces cooked Chile Chorizo, recipe follows
4 tablespoons oil
12 eggs, beaten
4 flour tortillas
Red or Green Salsa, store bought, (optional)
2 1/2 pounds pork meat
1/2 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon salt
1 cup red chile powder
1/2 tablespoon oil

Steps:

  • Fry chorizo in a frying pan with oil in pan until cooked to your liking. Pour the beaten eggs over the cooked chorizo and mix well together. Cook until eggs are cooked to your liking. Heat the flour tortillas and pour chorizo and eggs into each of 4 tortillas and wrap. Cover with red or green salsa.
  • Grind the pork in a meat grinder set on the coarsest grind. Add garlic, salt, red chile, and oil and mix by hand. Form into patties. Chorizo is ready to freeze or cook and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chorizo: The chorizo is the star of the show in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a chorizo that is made with fresh, flavorful pork and spices.
  • Cook the chorizo thoroughly: Chorizo should be cooked until it is no longer pink in the center. This will help to ensure that it is safe to eat and that it has developed its full flavor.
  • Use a variety of fillings: In addition to chorizo, you can also add other ingredients to your breakfast burritos, such as eggs, cheese, potatoes, and beans. This will help to create a more flavorful and satisfying meal.
  • Don't overfill the burritos: It's important to not overfill the burritos, or they will be difficult to wrap and eat. Aim to fill each burrito with about 1/2 cup of ingredients.
  • Serve the burritos immediately: Breakfast burritos are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to ensure that they are warm and delicious.

Conclusion:

Chorizo breakfast burritos are a delicious and easy way to start your day. They are packed with flavor and protein, and they can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can make breakfast burritos ahead of time and freeze them for later. This is a great way to save time and have a healthy breakfast option on hand.
