A quick and hearty breakfast burrito featuring spicy chorizo, fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and crisp tortillas cooked on a Blackstone griddle for unbeatable flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo sausage
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • ½ cup diced red or green bell pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Optional: sliced avocado
  • Optional: salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F/190°C) and let it heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Crumble the chorizo onto the hot griddle. Break it up and spread evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and slightly crispy, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic to the griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the chorizo and veggies on the griddle. Let sit for 20 seconds, then gently scramble until cooked but still moist, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. While the eggs cook, warm the tortillas on the cooler edge of the griddle for 30 seconds per side to soften.
  6. Spoon the chorizo-egg mixture evenly onto each tortilla. Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded cheese over the filling. Add optional cilantro or sliced avocado if desired.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from one end. Place burritos seam-side down on the griddle. Press gently and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy, then flip and toast the other side similarly.
  8. Remove from the griddle and serve immediately with salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce.

Notes

For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the eggs before scrambling. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to ensure proper searing. Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting. If no Blackstone griddle is available, a heavy cast iron skillet works but keep heat high for crispness. Burritos can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen; reheat in skillet for best texture.
