Ingredients
Scale
- 4 9-inch flour tortillas
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 pound (226 g) fresh chorizo sausage
- 0.75 pound (340 g) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 cup (112 g) shredded cheese
- sour cream
- pico de gallo
Instructions
- Potato Preparation: Sear potato cubes in a large skillet over medium-high heat, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust without initial movement for 5 minutes, then gently turn and continue cooking until crispy and tender, approximately 12-15 minutes total.
- Chorizo Cooking: Brown chorizo in a separate skillet, breaking down larger chunks into bite-sized pieces until crisp and fully cooked.
- Tortilla Warming: Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in the oven to enhance flexibility and texture.
- Egg Technique: Whisk eggs thoroughly, then pour half the mixture into an 8-inch skillet with light oil, creating an even, thin layer that reaches the edges.
- Egg-Tortilla Assembly: Allow eggs to set with forming bubbles, sprinkle shredded cheese, then place a tortilla on top, pressing gently to adhere and ensure complete cooking.
- Burrito Construction: Invert the egg-tortilla combination onto a work surface, layer roasted potatoes and crispy chorizo down the center, garnish with pico de gallo and a sour cream drizzle.
- Folding and Wrapping: Fold tortilla edges inward, roll into a compact burrito shape, wrap in parchment or foil, and keep warm in the oven if preparing multiple servings.
- Final Serving: Repeat the egg-tortilla process with remaining ingredients, serving burritos warm and fresh.
Notes
- Potato Perfection: Brown potatoes without stirring initially to develop a crispy, golden crust that adds rich texture and depth of flavor.
- Chorizo Crumbling Technique: Break down chorizo into small, uniform pieces while cooking to ensure even distribution and maximize seasoning in every bite.
- Egg Layering Trick: Swirl eggs in the pan to create a thin, even layer and place tortilla on top for a seamless, integrated wrap with perfect egg coverage.
- Wrapping Pro Tip: Fold tortilla edges inward before rolling to create a tight seal that prevents ingredients from falling out during eating.
