Ingredients

Tortillas

  • 4 pieces burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 package 8-oz Mexican chorizo
  • 10 ounces shredded potatoes (see note)
  • 8 eggs whisked eggs
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (divided)

Instructions 

  • Cook chorizo in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, then drain excess fat and transfer to a bowl.
