  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 12 ounces Mexican chorizo, casings removed
  • 3 scallions, chop and use green section
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ⅔ cup Mexican melting cheese, or desired cheese
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup diced green peppers
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, sliced

Directions

  1. Toss chopped potatoes into a bowl with 1 teaspoon oil and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in microwave and cook on high for 4 minutes. Remove plastic wrap.
  2. Use a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Drop potatoes in skillet. Cook until potatoes are golden brown and slightly crisp. Don’t forget to stir occasionally. Set potatoes aside.
  3. Dice ¼ cup green peppers and scallions.
  4. Next, add chorizo and green peppers to a large skillet on medium-high heat. Break up meat and cook all the way through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the scallions, stir well, and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer chorizo to a bowl and set aside.
  6. Clean or use a different skillet, and then pour in the olive oil on medium heat.
  7. Whisk together the eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the eggs to skillet and cook. Don’t forget to stir the eggs while they cook, until they’re softly scrambled. Immediately transfer eggs to a second bowl and set aside.
  8. Warm tortillas in skillet until pliable, about 20 seconds.
  9. Divvy up the potatoes, chorizo, eggs, cheese, cilantro, salsa, and avocado between the four warmed tortillas. Roll the tortillas into a burrito shape
