Instructions
-
Cook the Chorizo:
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble the chorizo into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chorizo is crisp and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Once done, remove the chorizo from the pan and set it aside. -
Prepare the Veggies:
In the same skillet, add butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sautรฉ, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and become translucent, about 4-5 minutes. This step will create a flavorful base for your eggs. -
Scramble the Eggs:
While the onions and peppers are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl, add water, and whisk until smooth and well combined. Once the vegetables are ready, pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onions and peppers. Cook, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. -
Assemble the Wraps:
Heat the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds until soft and warm. Place a generous 1/4 cup of shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla. Top the cheese with an even portion of the cooked chorizo and scrambled egg mixture. -
Roll the Wraps:
Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll them up tightly to enclose the filling. This will ensure that the wraps stay intact when served. -
Serve:
Serve these Chorizo, Egg, and Cheese Wraps immediately with a side of salsa and fresh cilantro for a garnish. These wraps are great for brunch, a quick lunch, or a satisfying snack.
Tips for Perfect Chorizo, Egg, and Cheese Wraps
- Choosing the Right Chorizo: If you prefer a milder flavor, opt for a cooked Spanish chorizo, which is less spicy. For those who enjoy more heat, try Mexican chorizo, which packs more of a kick.
- Cheese Variations: The cheese you choose can make a big difference in flavor. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even a spicy pepper jack would be perfect for these wraps.
- Add Veggies: Feel free to add more veggies like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms to customize the wraps to your liking.
- Serving Suggestions: These wraps pair beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal. If you’re hosting a brunch, consider serving with a refreshing beverage like iced tea or a citrusy mimosa.
