Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb beef chorizo
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper diced
  • 2 tablespoons butter separated
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onion sour cream, hot sauce, salsa, lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the beef chorizo until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
  • Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened.
  • Transfer the chorizo and vegetable mixture to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fluffy and fully cooked.
  • Add the scrambled eggs to the bowl with the chorizo mixture. Stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place about 1/2 cup of the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito filling in the center of each tortilla.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
  • Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly into burritos.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with sour cream, salsa, lime wedges, or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Beef chorizo works best for a halal-friendly recipe.
  • Add avocado slices for extra creaminess.
  • Serve with fresh fruit or breakfast potatoes.
  • You can prepare the filling ahead of time for easier mornings.
