Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- ½ pound (226 g) fresh chorizo sausage
- ¾ pound (340 g) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 4 9-inch flour tortillas
- 1 cup (112 g) shredded cheese
- Sour cream
- Pico de gallo
Instructions
- Potato Preparation: Caramelize potato cubes in a large skillet over medium-high heat, allowing them to develop a golden-brown crust without initial stirring. Periodically turn the cubes to ensure even browning and tenderness, approximately 15-20 minutes total.
- Protein Rendering: Simultaneously cook chorizo in a separate skillet, breaking down larger pieces into crispy, bite-sized crumbles until well-browned and fully cooked.
- Tortilla Warming: Envelop tortillas in aluminum foil and gently warm in the oven to enhance pliability and prevent cracking during assembly.
- Egg Layer Creation: Whisk eggs thoroughly in a mixing bowl until well-combined and uniform in color. Heat an 8-inch skillet with a light oil coating over medium heat. Pour half the egg mixture, swirling to create a thin, even layer that reaches the pan’s edges.
- Tortilla Integration: Allow eggs to bubble slightly, then sprinkle shredded cheese across the surface. Position a tortilla atop the egg, pressing lightly to ensure adhesion. Carefully invert the egg-tortilla creation onto a clean work surface, ensuring the tortilla faces downward.
- Burrito Assembly: Arrange a generous line of roasted potatoes and seasoned chorizo down the tortilla’s center. Embellish with fresh pico de gallo and a delicate drizzle of sour cream. Fold the tortilla’s edges inward, then roll into a compact burrito. Wrap in parchment or foil to maintain warmth.
- Serving: Repeat the egg and filling process with remaining ingredients, serving the burritos while piping hot and maintaining their structural integrity.
Notes
- Potato Perfection: Allow cubes to develop a golden-brown crust by resisting the urge to stir constantly, creating deeper flavor and crispy exterior.
- Chorizo Crispiness: Break down sausage into small crumbles for even cooking and maximum textural contrast in each bite.
- Egg Technique: Create thin, uniform egg crepes by whisking thoroughly and swirling the pan to achieve a delicate, consistent layer.
- Burrito Rolling Pro: Press tortilla edges firmly when folding to prevent ingredients from falling out, ensuring a tight, compact wrap that holds together during eating.
