1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 -
1 pound spicy chorizo sausage
05 -
4 cups diced russet potatoes (1/4-inch pieces)
06 -
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
07 -
1/4 cup milk
08 -
6 large or 8 medium eggs
09 -
6 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
10 -
2 teaspoons salt, split into two portions
11 -
2 tablespoons butter
12 -
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
13 -
3 cups shredded Colby Jack or similar cheese
# Steps:
01 -
Set a big skillet over medium to high heat, toss in chorizo, and cook it for about 10-12 minutes while crumbling it into smaller bits. Take it out and put it on a plate once browned.
02 -
In the same skillet, pour in the olive oil and add diced potatoes, green peppers, red peppers, and onions. Stir occasionally for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes soften. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper. Set veggies aside once done.
03 -
Crack the eggs into a bowl, pour in the milk, and whisk until smooth. Wipe the skillet clean using a paper towel and melt butter in it over medium-low heat. Gently stir the eggs using a spatula until they're fully scrambled. Add the rest of the salt and turn off the heat.
04 -
Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for about 15-30 seconds so they soften and are easier to handle.
05 -
Lay the tortillas flat, divide the chorizo, veggies, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese evenly on top. Fold the sides inward, then roll each burrito tightly, keeping the fillings in.
06 -
Heat up your skillet again over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Place your burritos in the skillet, and fry each side for 1-2 minutes until gently crisped.
07 -
Pop them on a plate, and serve them while they're warm with either salsa or Pico de Gallo on the side.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
To roll burritos easily, make sure you don't add too much filling. This keeps them neat and tightly wrapped.
