Description

These hearty breakfast burritos are filled with spicy chorizo-style crumbles, bell peppers, fluffy scrambled eggs, and creamy homemade guacamole, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 pound chorizo-style vegan crumbles or ground pork chorizo
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • For the guacamole:
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 small lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork until chunky. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell peppers; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add chorizo crumbles to the skillet; cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Push chorizo mixture to one side of the skillet; pour eggs into the empty side. Scramble eggs until set, then mix everything together. Remove from heat.
  5. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. To assemble, spoon a quarter of the egg-chorizo mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with cheese and a generous spoonful of guacamole.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese and use a plant-based milk. Burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet or oven before serving.
