Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1/2 pound fresh chorizo

  • 1/2 poblano pepper, chopped

  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped

  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 2 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/3 cup half-and-half

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese, any kind

  • 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas

Directions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add chorizo, poblano pepper, onions, and red bell pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.

  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, cook potatoes with a small amount of water until fork tender, 7 to 10 minutes, stirring halfway through; drain. Stir potatoes into chorizo mixture.

  3. Meanwhile, whisk eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

  4. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture and scramble until eggs are cooked, about 3 minutes. Remove eggs from heat. Fold in cheese.

  5. Spoon chorizo mixture in a line across the middle of a tortilla, then add a layer of scrambled eggs. Fold opposing edges of the tortilla to overlap the filling. Roll 1 of the opposing edges around the filling creating a burrito.
