Print Recipe

A quick and hearty breakfast burrito loaded with spicy chorizo, crispy hash browns, scrambled eggs with smoked paprika, and melty cheese wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces fresh Mexican-style chorizo, casing removed
  • 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed slightly
  • 4 large eggs, beaten with a pinch of smoked paprika
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
  • Four 10-inch flour tortillas, warmed
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: diced jalapeños, sour cream, salsa, sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add chorizo, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook 5-7 minutes until browned and slightly caramelized. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  2. In the same skillet, drain excess grease if needed. Spread hash browns in an even layer. Cook undisturbed 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy on one side, then flip and cook 3-4 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add chopped onion to skillet and sauté 3 minutes until softened and translucent.
  4. Whisk eggs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour into skillet with onions over medium heat. Stir gently and cook 2-3 minutes until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
  5. Lay a warm tortilla flat. Layer hash browns, chorizo, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese. Add fresh cilantro.
  6. Fold sides of tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom. Optionally, toast burrito seam-side down in pan 1-2 minutes to seal and add crunch.
  7. Slice in half and serve immediately with optional salsa, sour cream, or avocado.

Notes

Cook chorizo first to render fat and build flavor. Crisp hash browns separately to avoid sogginess. Add smoked paprika to eggs for smoky depth. Warm tortillas just enough to be pliable. Toast burrito seam-side down for extra crunch. Use mild sausage or turkey chorizo for less heat. Vegetarian options include seasoned tofu or tempeh.
