Chef's Note
For meal prep, wrap assembled burritos (without the avocado salsa) in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes. Make the avocado salsa fresh when ready to serve. For a spicier version, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of hot sauce to the eggs.

Ingredients
4 each large flour tortillas
2 medium russet potatoes
8 oz chorizo sausage
8 large eggs
1 medium red bell pepper
1 small yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese
2 medium ripe avocados
1 whole lime
1 medium jalapeño
1/2 cup cilantro
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- 1
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 4 minutes until slightly softened.
- 2
While potatoes are cooking, dice the onion, red bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Remove seeds from jalapeño and finely dice.
- 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the par-cooked potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring occasionally.
- 4
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 5
Push the potato mixture to one side of the pan and add the chorizo to the empty space. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- 6
Mix the chorizo with the potato mixture and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
- 7
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Whisk 8 eggs in a bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 8
Pour the eggs into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until soft curds form but eggs are still slightly moist, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
- 9
For the avocado salsa: In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Add the juice from 1 lime, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, diced cherry tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- 10
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side.
- 11
To assemble: Lay a warm tortilla flat and spread 2 tablespoons of sour cream down the center. Add a portion of the potato-chorizo mixture, scrambled eggs, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- 12
Top each burrito with a generous spoonful of avocado salsa. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly.
- 13
Optional: For a crispier exterior, return the assembled burritos to a dry skillet over medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
- 14
Serve immediately with any remaining avocado salsa on the side.
