• Beat eggs in a bowl, and add to chorizo mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until eggs are scrambled and no longer runny.

CHORIZO BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Dice a potato and toss with salt, pepper, a dollop of oil, and 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional). Bake the diced potatoes in the oven at 400F for 20-25 minutes, giving them a toss after 15 minutes or so.
• Husk and rinse the tomatillos. Roast the tomatillos in the oven at 400F for 10-15 minutes or until they start to turn army green. De-stem and de-seed two chipotles in adobo. Add the tomatillos, 2 peeled garlic cloves, and a single chipotle to a blender and pulse blend. Take a taste for heat level. If you want more heat add the second chipotle. If you want a thinner salsa you can add 2-3 Tablespoons of water.
• Saute the chorizo in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side. Set aside when done.
• Finely chop 1/4 onion and 1 jalapeno. (You can use less jalapeno if you want a milder version). Saute onion and jalapeno in olive oil over medium-low heat for 4-6 minutes or until tender. Whisk together 8 eggs and add them to the onion-jalapeno mixture, along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some freshly cracked black pepper, cooking over medium-low heat. Set aside when done.
• To build the burritos, start by heating up a flour tortilla in a skillet for 30-60 seconds. Add the eggs, potatoes, chorizo, cheese, and salsa. Roll tight and saute in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side or until it crisps up and starts to turn brown. Serve immediately.

CHORIZO-POTATO BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until cooked through and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add the hash browns to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Beat together the eggs, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce in a medium bowl until well blended. Return the chorizo to the pan and pour the eggs over the potatoes and chorizo and cook, stirring, until the eggs are fluffy and just set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
• Working with one tortilla at a time, warm in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat until pliable. Top with one-quarter of the avocado and egg mixture, 1 tablespoon of the pico de gallo and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Fold in the two sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with remaining tortillas and burrito fillings. Serve with the remaining pico de gallo on the side.

CHORIZO BREAKFAST BURRITO

Steps:

• Fry chorizo in a frying pan with oil in pan until cooked to your liking. Pour the beaten eggs over the cooked chorizo and mix well together. Cook until eggs are cooked to your liking. Heat the flour tortillas and pour chorizo and eggs into each of 4 tortillas and wrap. Cover with red or green salsa.

CHORIZO BREAKFAST BURRITO BOWLS

Steps:

• Add the chorizo to a nonstick skillet and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate, leaving as much oil from the chorizo as possible in the skillet.
• Add the potatoes, red peppers and onions to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, adding olive oil if the skillet ever seems dry, until the vegetables soften slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt and continue cooking, tossing only very occasionally to allow the veggies to develop some color, until the potatoes are fully cooked and the peppers and onions are soft, 10 to 15 minutes more. Add the chorizo back in, taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Remove from the heat.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the eggs and cook, stirring continuously with a rubber or silicone spatula, until the eggs are the consistency of risotto, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately and season with a few pinches of salt and a few cracks of pepper.
• Time to build. To each Tortilla Bowl, add 1/2 cup of the chorizo and potato mixture, some eggs, a pile of cheese, a drizzle of the Creamy Salsa Verde, a few pickled jalapenos and cilantro.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Brush the outsides of the tortillas with oil. Press the tortillas into jumbo muffin tins, pleating them to shape into bowls, and brush the insides with oil. (If the tortillas aren't pliable enough to mold into the cups, microwave them until they're soft.) Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. They'll crisp up as they cool.
• Heat a grill pan over medium high. Grill the tomatillos and serranos until charred on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and grill for another 5 minutes. Let the tomatillos and serranos cool, then remove the serrano stems and seeds. Add to a blender with the cilantro, onion, yogurt, salt and garlic. Blend until combined and transfer to a serving bowl.
