Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Meat and Vegetables
- 100 g chorizo (crumbled)
- 2 tbsp diced onions
- 2 tbsp diced bell peppers
Assembly
- 1 large tortilla
- ¼ cup shredded cheese
- Optional: salsa or hot sauce
Instructions
- Cook the chorizo: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the crumbled chorizo. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, which should take about 4-5 minutes.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Prepare eggs: In a bowl, whisk the two large eggs with salt and pepper until well combined.
- Scramble eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Stir gently and continuously until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Warm the tortilla: Heat the tortilla in a dry pan or microwave until warm and pliable, making it easier to roll.
- Assemble burrito: Spoon the scrambled eggs, chorizo, and vegetable mixture onto the center of the warm tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
- Roll up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly into a burrito shape.
- Serve: Serve immediately with optional salsa or hot sauce for added flavor and spice.
Notes
- Use turkey or chicken chorizo as a leaner alternative for lower fat content.
- Add sliced avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
- Wrap the burrito in foil to make it easy to transport as a grab-and-go meal.
