Ingredients
- 1 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed

- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely diced
- 8 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 large flour tortillas
- Salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro, for serving
Directions
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo sausage, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan with the cooked vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
- Add the cooked chorizo back to the pan with the eggs. Stir to combine.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or in the microwave.
- To assemble the burritos, spoon a portion of the chorizo and egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly to form a burrito.
- Serve the chorizo breakfast burritos with salsa, sour cream, and chopped cilantro on the side.
