Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

02

Step

Add the chorizo to the same skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

03

Step

Add the poblano pepper, yellow onion, and red bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

04

Step

Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.

05

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper.

06

Step

In a separate skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are set but still slightly moist, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the shredded cheese.

07

Step

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

08

Step

To assemble the burritos, spoon a generous amount of the chorizo and potato mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with a portion of the scrambled eggs and cheese.

09

Step

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll up tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin to the chorizo and potato mixture.
If you like a spicier burrito, use hot chorizo or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture.
Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as black beans, corn, or avocado.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or hot sauce.
