INGREDIENTS
 

  • 6 flour tortillas (large)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 lb (450g) chorizo (removed from the casing)
  • 2 bell peppers (any kind)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar + Monterey Jack)
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil (note 1)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Cilantro (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Scramble the Eggs: Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat, pour in the eggs, and scramble gently until just set. Lastly season with salt.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the onion and bell peppers into small, even pieces.
  • Cook the Sausage Mixture: Remove sausage from the casing if needed. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage with ½ cup water, covered, for 5 minutes. Then add diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté uncovered for another 5 minutes or until the mixture is browned and cooked through. Garnish with chopped cilantro (optional).
  • Warm the Tortillas: Microwave for 30 seconds or heat on a skillet until soft and pliable.
  • Wrap the Burritos: Lay each tortilla flat. Add a layer of shredded cheese, followed by scrambled eggs, sausage-veggie mix, and sliced avocado. Roll tightly into a burrito.
  • Toast the Burritos:Cook the rolled burritos seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet until golden and crisp.

NOTES

  1. Use regular cooking oil or olive oil while toasting the burritos for a light flavor. For a richer flavor, toast the burritos with butter.
  2. Meal Prep: Once the burritos are assembled, wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Stack them inside freezer friendly containers or ziplock bags. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  3. Reheating refrigerated burritos: Microwave for 2–3 minutes, air fry for 3 minutes at 375°F (190°C) or reheat in a skillet to restore crispness.
