Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb halal beef chorizo sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 frozen hash brown patties or 24 frozen tater tots
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 medium white onion finely diced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Oaxaca cheese or low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • Salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the frozen hash brown patties or tater tots according to package instructions. An air fryer works especially well for extra crispiness.
  • If using a sandwich press or skillet for warming the burritos later, begin preheating it over medium-high heat.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the halal beef chorizo with the diced onion until the meat is fully cooked.
  • Increase the heat slightly and continue cooking until the chorizo begins to caramelize and lightly char.
  • Transfer the cooked chorizo mixture to a plate, leaving the flavorful drippings in the pan.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk well with salt and black pepper.
  • Pour the eggs into the skillet with the drippings and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until softly scrambled and fully set.
  • Assemble the Chorizo Breakfast Burritos by placing one hash brown patty in the center of each tortilla. If using tater tots, arrange six in a rectangle and gently flatten with a fork.
  • Divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the tortillas.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs.
  • Top with the cooked beef chorizo and onion mixture.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll tightly into burritos.
  • Toast the burritos in a skillet or sandwich press until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Serve warm with salsa, avocado, or sour cream.

Notes

  • Add avocado slices, salsa verde, or pico de gallo for extra freshness.
  • Turkey sausage can replace beef chorizo for a milder flavor.
  • Whole wheat tortillas work well for a healthier option.
  • Serve with fresh fruit or roasted potatoes for a complete breakfast.
