How to Make Mexican Breakfast Burritos

  1. Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. While potatoes boil, whisk together eggs and milk in a bowl.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and scramble until cooked through and fluffy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, brown the pork sausage, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off excess grease.
  5. Add the chorizo to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off excess grease.
  6. Add the chopped bell pepper, onion, and jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent and softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Stir in the cooked pork sausage and chorizo. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  8. Season the sausage mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
  9. Warm tortillas in a microwave-safe container for 10-15 seconds, or until pliable. (Alternatively, warm them in a dry skillet over medium-low heat).
  10. Fill each tortilla with a portion of scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage mixture, and cheese.
  11. Fold the tortilla in half, then fold the sides in to create an envelope shape.
  12. Wrap each burrito individually in foil.
  13. To serve immediately, heat burritos in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
  14. To freeze, wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat frozen burritos in the oven or microwave before serving.
  15. Serve with sour cream, hot sauce, and salsa.
