Breakfast Burritos Recipe
Description: Relive the nostalgia of truck stops with these savory breakfast burritos inspired by the famous “Burrito Man” from Moriarty, NM. Bursting with flavor, these burritos are filled with your choice of chorizo sausage, beef, or potato, combined with onions, green peppers, fluffy eggs, and gooey cheddar cheese, all wrapped in warm flour tortillas. Perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast on the go or enjoyed leisurely at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 chorizo sausages
- 1 onion
- 1/2 green pepper
- 2-3 potatoes
- 3 eggs
- Cheddar cheese, grated
Instructions:
-
In a skillet over medium-low heat, add chorizo sausage, diced onion, diced green pepper, and diced potatoes. Cover and stir occasionally, ensuring the sausage does not cook to a crisp.
-
When the potatoes are soft and cooked through, push them to the side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the center.
-
As the eggs start to set, scramble them together with the sausage, onion, pepper, and potatoes mixture, cooking for about 4 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
-
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
-
In a clean skillet over medium-low heat, add one large flour tortilla. Heat each side for about 1 minute, being careful not to burn them.
-
Remove the tortilla from the skillet and place it on a plate. Add a large spoonful of the egg and sausage mixture to the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese.
-
Fold the tortilla over the filling, following the folding directions on the tortilla wrapper. Repeat this process to make 4-5 burritos.
-
Enjoy your delicious breakfast burritos! For an extra kick, serve with a dollop of homemade salsa.
Tips:
-
These breakfast burritos are also great for meal prep. Simply wrap them in aluminum foil and refrigerate. The next morning, heat the wrapped burritos in the oven for a few minutes until warm.
-
Get creative with your fillings! Experiment with different types of sausage, vegetables, or cheeses to customize your breakfast burritos to your taste.
