Main Ingredients

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through.
  2. If using, add the diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are tender.
  3. While the chorizo and veggies are cooking, whisk the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Push the chorizo mixture to one side of the skillet and pour the eggs into the empty side, scrambling them until cooked.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.
Assembly
  1. To assemble each burrito, spoon some of the chorizo and egg mixture onto a tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll up tightly.
Serving
  1. Serve the burritos hot. Cut them in half if you like. Add salsa, sour cream, or extra cheese on the side.
