Spicy Chorizo Breakfast Burrito

Spicy Chorizo Breakfast Burrito you are going to love this one! Believe it or not I did not grow up eating chorizo. For those of you not familiar with Mexican Chorizo, more common to the state of New Mexico, it is a type of sausage, pork or beef or a blend of both mixed with red chile peppers. It is usually fairly spicy and can sometimes be quite hot. It is great to mix in breakfast burritos. This chorizo is made from pork and beef, I bought it at our local Mexican Grocery store. For authentic Mexican chorizo visit your local Mexican market and check with the local butcher, sometimes you can get it fresh and ready to use. (You won’t have to remove the casing, one less step.) This recipe takes a little effort and some extra time, so I usually make them on a weekend when I am not rushed and running off to a basketball game or some other kid function. My family loves a great breakfast burritos, and I like to change up the recipe so my kids don’t get bored. I like to rotate using sausage, bacon and chorizo. The rest of the ingredients don’t change too much, sometimes I use fried potatoes instead of hash browns. And to keep it slightly healthier (I find it hard to call a breakfast burrito healthy, with all the cheese, etc. but, a couple times a month it is a special treat!) I used a non-stick frying pan, I recommend investing in a high quality frying pan. It is worth the calories you save on using extra oil when frying. The eggs, cheddar cheese and a flour tortilla are the rest of the ingredients that go into a breakfast burrito. Another little tip: when purchasing tortillas look for nice burrito tortilla, they are usually slightly larger and thinner, making it easy to form the final burrito. And for the red chile sauce please see my previous posts for several recipes for red chile sauce. I enjoy hearing from you, keep the nice call, message, and notes coming in. You are appreciated more than you know. Bon Appetit, Cecelia
