Chorizo Breakfast Burritos
Chorizo breakfast burritos loaded with chorizo sausage, onion, cheese, eggs, and hash browns! These burritos are easy to prepare and packed with flavor thanks to the chorizo!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb Mexican chorizo sausage ground sausage, not links
- 6 large eggs
- 4 frozen hash brown patties or 24 frozen tater tots per batch (6 per burrito)
- 4 8" diameter flour tortillas (or larger) uncooked tortillas strongly suggested, see notes
- ½ medium-sized white onion finely diced
- 1 ½ cups shredded Oaxaca or low moisture mozzarella cheese or sub cheddar cheese
- salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare frozen hash brown patties or tater tots per package instructions as you prep the other fillings. I prepare mine in an air fryer.
- If using, begin warming up a sandwich press fitted with flat plates, I set mine to 400 F. Alternatively, you can use a skillet to warm the burritos.
- Cook the chorizo and diced onion together in a skillet over medium heat until the chorizo is cooked through, then raise the heat to medium-high and keep cooking until it begins to char (see photos for reference). Remove the mixture to a plate but leave any drippings behind in the pan.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whip them with a fork, season with some salt and pepper. Add the eggs to the chorizo drippings and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are set, about 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the burritos: Place one hash brown patty in the center of each tortilla (if you're using tater tots, line up 6 per burrito in a rectangle and gently smash them flat with a fork). Next, divide the eggs between the 4 burritos, then top with the cheese. Last, add the chorizo and onion mixture. Roll up the burritos (they will be very full on an 8" tortilla but still roll-able).
- Place the burritos seem-side-down in a preheated sandwich press and cook, until slightly golden on the outside, about 2 minutes. Alternatively, use a skillet set over medium heat, turning as needed. This step helps to seal the burritos! Serve immediately, with your favorite salsa for dipping (I use avocado salsa).
Notes
Uncooked tortillas are one of my favorite new products. They come in the refrigerated section at the grocery store, and can be prepared in just a few minutes. They make super high quality fresh tortillas that take these burritos to the next level!
