Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup finely diced mango (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup finely diced pineapple (about 3 ounces)
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1/4 cup finely diced red onion (about 1 ounce)
1/2 jalapeño, seeded (optional) and finely diced (about 2 tablespoons)
Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 chicken chorizo sausages, diced (about 4 ounces)
1 cup baby kale (about 1 ounce)
1 cup baby spinach (about 1 ounce)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup shredded mozzarella (about 4 ounces)
2 large (burrito-size) spinach tortillas or wraps

Steps:

  • Combine the mango, pineapple, cilantro, onions, jalapeños, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, spinach and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the greens wilt completely, and any excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Stir in the eggs and let sit until the bottom starts to set, about 1 minute. Drag the eggs from side to side with a spatula, letting them set on the bottom each time so that big curds form, 2 to 3 minutes. Once the eggs are no longer runny, turn off the heat.
  • Spread 1/2 cup mozzarella in the center of each tortilla. Microwave one at a time until the tortilla is warm and the cheese melts, 30 seconds. Divide the egg mixture between the tortillas and top each with 2 tablespoons of the fruit salsa. Fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll them up to form compact burritos. Serve with the remaining fruit salsa on the side.

BREAKFAST BURRITOS WITH CHORIZO



Breakfast Burritos with Chorizo image

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.

CHORIZO BREAKFAST BURRITO BOWLS



Chorizo Breakfast Burrito Bowls image

Breakfast burritos are definitely one of my top five favorite foods. These bowls pull my favorite part of a taco salad (the tortilla bowl!) to make a breakfast burrito that you can eat with a fork. Perfect for festive brunch situations!

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 pound Mexican chorizo
1 large russet potato, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 white onion, diced
Olive oil, as needed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Kosher salt
8 large eggs
Freshly ground black pepper
Tortilla Bowls, recipe follows
Shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese, for serving
Creamy Salsa Verde, recipe follows
Pickled jalapenos, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
Olive oil or neutral oil, for brushing
8 tomatillos
2 serrano peppers
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup chopped white onion
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic

Steps:

  • Add the chorizo to a nonstick skillet and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate, leaving as much oil from the chorizo as possible in the skillet.
  • Add the potatoes, red peppers and onions to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, adding olive oil if the skillet ever seems dry, until the vegetables soften slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue cooking, tossing only very occasionally to allow the veggies to develop some color, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the peppers and onions are soft, 10 to 15 minutes more. Add the chorizo back in, taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Remove from the heat.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the eggs and cook, stirring continuously with a rubber or silicone spatula, until the eggs are the consistency of risotto, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately and season with a few pinches of salt and a few cracks of pepper.
  • Time to build. To each Tortilla Bowl, add 1/2 cup of the chorizo and potato mixture, some eggs, a pile of cheese, a drizzle of the Creamy Salsa Verde, a few pickled jalapenos and cilantro.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush the outsides of the tortillas with oil. Press the tortillas into jumbo muffin tins, pleating them to shape into bowls, and brush the insides with oil. (If the tortillas aren't pliable enough to mold into the cups, microwave them until they're soft.) Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They'll crisp up as they cool.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium high. Grill the tomatillos and serranos until charred on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and grill for another 5 minutes. Let the tomatillos and serranos cool, then remove the serrano stems and seeds. Add to a blender with the cilantro, onion, yogurt, salt and garlic. Blend until combined and transfer to a serving bowl.

Tips:

  • Cook the chorizo thoroughly: Chorizo can be a bit greasy, so it's important to cook it thoroughly before adding it to the burrito bowls. This will help to render out some of the fat and make the chorizo more flavorful.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher and higher quality the ingredients you use, the better your burrito bowls will taste. Look for ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, and flavorful salsa.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make burrito bowls, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You can add different types of beans, vegetables, and sauces to create a burrito bowl that's perfect for you.

Conclusion:

Chorizo burrito bowls are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that are perfect for busy weeknights. They're also a great way to use up leftover chorizo. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chorizo burrito bowls a try!
