Chorizo and Potato Breakfast Burritos (Freezer Prep!)
These hearty and flavorful Chorizo and Potato Breakfast Burritos are the perfect option for quick breakfast!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 10 oz pork or beef chorizo
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 20 flour tortillas, warmed
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and saute the diced potatoes. Season the potatoes with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper for about 15 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, warm the tortillas on the stove-top or in the microwave.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a separate skillet, cook the chorizo for 7-8 minutes, breaking the chorizo up with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs to the chorizo and cook the eggs together with the chorizo for about 5 minutes until the eggs are cooked.
- Pour your chorizo and egg mixture into the potatoes and add the shredded cheese. Mix it until the cheese melts completely.
- Take about 1/4 cup of your egg and potato filling, and place it into a warm tortilla. Roll the tortilla up, ensuring the sides are tucked inward to prevent the filling from coming out of the sides. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Enjoy the burritos right away while still warm, or follow the directions below for freezing.
Notes
To store your breakfast burritos, place the cooled burritos into an airtight container or cover them with plastic wrap. They will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To freeze, place the cooled burritos onto a cooling rack. Place the cooling rack into the freezer to flash-freeze the burritos for at least an hour. Once the burritos have frozen completely, move them to a freezer bag. You can wrap them with parchment paper or wax paper if you'd like, but I've recently been forgoing the wrapping, and the burritos have been perfect with zero freezer burn! The breakfast burritos will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat frozen breakfast burritos, place the desired amount of frozen burritos onto a microwave-safe plate. Place it in the microwave and heat on High power for 1 minute and 15 seconds. Carefully, turn the burritos over and heat for 1 minute, or until heated through.
