• 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• Salsa or hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the Potatoes
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 10–12 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

2. Cook the Chorizo
In the same skillet, cook chorizo over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully cooked and browned, about 5–6 minutes. Remove excess grease if needed.

3. Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into skillet with chorizo and cook, stirring gently, until just set.

4. Assemble the Burritos
Warm tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave. Divide the egg and chorizo mixture evenly among tortillas. Top with crispy potatoes, shredded cheese, and cilantro if using.

5. Wrap and Serve
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly to form burritos. Serve immediately with salsa or hot sauce if desired.
