Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 avocado chopped
  • 1/2 cup Roma tomatoes chopped
  • 2 tbsp red onion finely diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 serrano pepper seeded and diced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt for eggs
  • 1/2 lb chorizo sausage crumbled
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese or pepper jack, shredded
  • 4 flour tortillas 10-inch
  • 1-2 tbsp oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Mix all avocado salsa ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  2. Whisk eggs with smoked paprika and salt.
  3. Cook chorizo in a skillet until browned. Remove and set aside.
  4. Scramble eggs in the same skillet until just set.
  5. Place tortillas flat and add salsa, eggs, sausage, and cheese.
  6. Fold sides and roll tightly into burritos.
  7. Pan-fry burritos seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet until golden, about 3 minutes per side.
  8. Serve warm.

Notes

Letting the salsa rest enhances flavor. Don’t overcook the eggs—they should stay soft for the best texture inside the burrito.
