Ingredients

8 ounces Mexican chorizo casings removed
2 russet potatoes diced small
½ onion diced
8 large eggs beaten
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup monterrey jack
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup salsa

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chorizo and cook for about 8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces as it browns.
Transfer the cooked chorizo to a plate, leaving the drippings in the skillet.
Add the potatoes and onion to the skillet. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
Transfer the potato and onion mixture to the plate with the chorizo.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper.
Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set.
Stir the chorizo, potatoes, and onions into the eggs until evenly combined.
Warm the tortillas according to the package directions.
Divide the chorizo and egg mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top with the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and salsa.
Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly burrito-style.
Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Cook the burritos for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Dice potatoes small to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.

Warming the tortillas makes them more pliable and easier to wrap.
