EGG & CHORIZO BURRITOSBreakfast burritos have been done before, but not like this. Our breakfast-gone-dinner burrito is anything but cliché, with a spicy chorizo, spinach, and sweet potato filling enrobed in a thin, crepe-like layer of egg, finished with fresh Avocado Cream Sauce and wrapped in a flour tortilla.

  • Yield: 4 Servings
  • Total Time: 35 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 10-inch flour tortillas
  • For Filling
  • 4 ounces dry-cured chorizo,* casings removed, chopped into
  • 0.25 -inch cubes
  • 0.25 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 sweet potato, chopped into ¼-inch cubes (about 1 cup, chopped)
  • 8 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and chopped (about 1 cup)
  • For Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • For Topping
  • 0.5 cup Avocado Cream Sauce
How to Make It
  1. Preheat oven to 250°F. Stack tortillas, wrap in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through.
  2. To prepare the filling, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chorizo until it begins to brown and much of the fat has been rendered, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in onions and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes more. Reduce heat to medium and stir in sweet potatoes; cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until heated through.
  3. Melt ½ tablespoon butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg until pale yellow. Add egg to hot skillet and swirl around the pan to form an even layer. Cover and cook about 1 minute, or until cooked through. Gently slide onto 1 tortilla; return to baking sheet in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining eggs and tortillas, adding more butter to pan as needed.
  4. Spoon one-fourth of the filling down the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with Avocado Cream Sauce. Roll up and serve.
