How to Make chorizo breakfast burritos Potatoes and Onions Let’s kick things off with some potato prep for the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. First, dice up the Russet potatoes – no need to peel them since the skin adds a perfect crispy touch. For best results, toss the diced potatoes into a large bowl of icy cold water and let them chill for 30 minutes. This will help them crisp up super well in the large skillet. On your cutting board, next finely dice your white onions and then set aside. The Guac Next, let’s dive into the best guacamole recipe ever. Cut four large, ripe avocados in half, scoop out the green goodness into a medium bowl, add a splash of lime juice, and a pinch of salt – and then mash it all up. Make your guac chunky or smooth, depending on what you like. Lastly, throw in some chopped cilantro and diced red onions, mix it up, and pop it in the fridge. Jalapeño Lime Sauce To make the creamy sauce for the breakfast burritos even more flavorful, this is a must-have sauce. In a small to medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mayo, buttermilk, cilantro, jalapeño paste, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth, cover, and chill in the fridge. Breakfast Burrito Grilling Time Finally, now that our stomachs are growling after making that sauce, let’s fire up the grill. Preheat it to a toasty 400º degrees F. Heat up a cast-iron skillet on the plancha with a drizzle of olive oil. Grab the potatoes from the fridge, drain them, and pat dry with a paper towel – the drier, the crispier. Into the hot skillet, in a single layer, place the potatoes. Cook them for about 20 minutes until they’re golden brown. Then, about five minutes before removing the potatoes from the heat, throw in the diced onions, salt, pepper, and garlic. Stir well with your wooden spoon, take them off the grill, and then set aside. Time for the Mexican chorizo! Cook the spicy pork sausage on the plancha to render out the fat for about 8-10 minutes at a medium-high temperature. Set the cooked chorizo aside. Next, cook your beaten eggs for 3-4 minutes on the grill or plancha, and then set aside. An Easy Way to WhiP Eggs First, crack each egg on a hard surface and place the yolk and white into a glass Mason jar. Then repeat for as many eggs as you need. Cover the jar tightly with the lid and shake for at least 2-3 minutes until the egg mixture is a solid yellow color. Build Your Breakfast Burrito Finally, into the bottom of the tortilla add the cooked potatoes, chorizo, eggs, jack cheese, and then the guacamole. Roll each one up tight and place all the burritos onto a baking sheet. Now, cook on the hot plancha for one minute per side, making sure to get all sides of the tortilla crisp, crunchy, and hot. Slice, serve, and then dip the burritos in the jalapeño lime sauce for an epic breakfast feast! More popular breakfast recipes What to Serve with Chorizo Breakfast Burrito While this breakfast burrito a complete meal on its own, consider serving the burritos with some pico de gallo, hot sauce, and extra slices of avocado. Leftovers & Reheating If you have any leftover burritos, let them cool to room temperature before wrapping tightly in aluminum foil. Place in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. When you’re ready to reheat, cook over the grill using a medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side, or until nice and warm in the center. Can I use a different type of meat instead of chorizo in the breakfast burrito? Yes! There are plenty of great options. Feel free to experiment with other breakfast meats like spicy Italian sausage or scrambled and seasoned tofu for a vegetarian burrito option. Can I use tater tots in the burrito recipe instead of the homemade home fries? Absolutely! If you’re not up for chopping potatoes, tater tots in a Mexican burrito can add a delicious and unique twist to the dish. Follow the package instructions and make sure they are golden and crispy after cooking in the oven or air fryer. What are some more ways I can save time making these breakfast burritos? To save time on your busy mornings, instead of homemade guac, you can add some store-bought guacamole. Also, consider buying some high-quality cheese that’s already shredded, and then if you’re super pressed for time, buy a pre-made creamy hot sauce with lime jalapeno. Get The Cookbooks!
