Ingredients
  

For the Main Dish
  • 1/2 pound fresh chorizo casing removed
  • 2 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Salsa
  • 2 medium tomatoes diced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Chop the onion finely and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Prepare the salsa by combining diced tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt in a bowl; mix well and refrigerate.
Cooking
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced potatoes; cook for about 10 minutes until golden and tender, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes more until translucent.
  3. In a separate pan, cook the chorizo over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully cooked and browned, about 5 minutes; drain excess fat.
  4. Push the potatoes and onions to one side of the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture on the other side; cook gently, stirring until scrambled and just set.
  5. Combine the chorizo with the potatoes, onions, and eggs, then remove from heat.
Finishing
  1. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
  2. Divide the chorizo, potato, and egg mixture evenly among the tortillas, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and add a spoonful of salsa.
  3. Roll up each tortilla tightly into a burrito, folding in the sides to secure the filling, then serve immediately.
