Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup cooked chorizo or sausage optional
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Chop the bell pepper and onion into small, even pieces.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil.
  3. Sauté the bell pepper and onion for about 3-5 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  4. If using chorizo or sausage, add it to the skillet now and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.
  6. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the vegetables and protein. Stir gently to cook and scramble evenly.
  7. Once the eggs are nearly set, sprinkle in the cheese and stir until melted.
  8. Lay a tortilla flat on a plate and spoon a generous amount of the egg mixture onto the center.
  9. Roll it up tightly, tucking in the sides for a secure wrap.
  10. Serve the burritos warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
