Chorizo Breakfast Burritos
These Chorizo Breakfast Burritos are packed with spicy pork chorizo, scrambled eggs, crispy tater tots, plenty of melted cheese, and homemade roasted salsa.
Ingredients
- 6-8 pork chorizo links (removed from casing)
- 4 12" Burrito wraps
- 6 Free-range eggs
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican cheese
- 2 cups Quesadilla cheese
- 1 bag Tater tots
Roasted Salsa
- 4 Tomatillos
- 4-5 cloves Garlic
- 1 Jalapeno pepper
- 1 Serrano pepper
- ⅓ Red onion
- 1 Lime juiced
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle to 350°F. Cut the tomatillos in half and quarter the red onion.
- Add the tomatillos, red onion, jalapeño, serrano, and garlic to the griddle. Roast, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a food processor. For less heat, remove the seeds and use only half of the jalapeño and serrano. Add the lime juice and blend for 1–2 minutes. Set the salsa aside.
- Remove the chorizo from the casings and increase the griddle temperature to 400°F. Heat frying oil to 350°F.
- Fry the tater tots for about 4 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain.
- Add the chorizo to the griddle, breaking it apart and spreading it into an even layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes, then flip or stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
- Form the cooked chorizo into a ring on the griddle and crack the eggs into the center. Stir the eggs and chorizo together and cook for a few minutes.
- Add about 2 cups of cheese and stir until melted. Transfer the chorizo mixture to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Lightly toast the burrito wraps on the griddle.
- Layer each tortilla with roasted salsa, cheese, crispy tater tots, the chorizo and egg mixture, more salsa, and additional cheese.
- Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito. Place seam-side down on the griddle and toast for 2 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the outside is golden and lightly crisp. Serve warm.
