I’m talking layers of flavor that explode in your mouth with every single bite. They scream Cuba Queen’s bold flavor philosophy from the rooftops!

I spent weeks perfecting this recipe, because let’s be honest, a mediocre breakfast burrito is just a sad start to the day. Trust me, my relentless testing – including a major salsa breakthrough – was all worth it, and now, I’m practically bursting to share this absolute masterpiece of a Breakfast Burritos with Salsa with you. Buckle up, flavor adventurer – your taste buds are in for a wild ride!

INGREDIENTS You Need for This:

  • 1 pound chorizo sausage: The secret to these epic Breakfast Burritos with Salsa is using chorizo instead of plain breakfast sausage. It adds a smoky, spicy depth that is totally irresistible.
  • 1 large onion, diced: This adds a layer of savory sweetness and complexity that compliments the chorizo perfectly. I get mine at the local farmer’s market.
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced: For a pop of color and a fresh, crisp bite. I personally like to use red, it adds a subtle sweetness.
  • 8 large eggs: Because what’s a breakfast burrito without eggs?
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream: To make the eggs extra fluffy and rich. I prefer using cream cheese, it gives the eggs a nice, creamy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon salt: To balance the flavors and bring out the best in all the other ingredients.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper: For a little bit of extra spice and depth of flavor.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Because cheese makes everything better!
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese: A creamy, melt-in-your-mouth counterpart to the cheddar.
  • 8 large flour tortillas: The foundation of our flavor bomb! Look for ones that are soft and pliable.
  • Your favorite salsa: Store-bought or homemade (recipe below!), you decide.
  • Optional toppings: Sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, hot sauce
Ingredients for making delicious breakfast burritos with chorizo, eggs, and cheese

This Breakfast Burritos with Salsa ingredient list is SHORT but mighty! And if you are on a budget, regular breakfast sausage works just fine – just add a touch of smoked paprika to bring some of that chorizo magic.

HOMEMADE SALSA INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained: The base of your salsa, bursting with fresh tomato flavor.
  • 1/2 white onion, roughly chopped: Adds a pungent, sharp bite.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced: Because garlic makes everything better!
  • 1-2 jalapeños, seeded and roughly chopped: Add according to desired spice level.
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped: For a fresh, vibrant flavor.
  • 1/4 cup lime juice: To brighten everything up and balance the flavors.
  • 1 teaspoon cumin: Adds a warm, earthy depth.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt: To enhance all the flavors.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: For a subtle kick.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First things first, get that chorizo cooking! Crumble it in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. This is where your Breakfast Burritos with Salsa journey begins.
  2. Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Don’t stress – your Breakfast Burritos with Salsa is going to be incredible.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk/cream, salt, and pepper. Pro tip for Breakfast Burritos with Salsa perfection: whip those eggs until they’re nice and frothy!
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the chorizo and vegetables. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through but still slightly moist. This is where your Breakfast Burritos with Salsa transforms into pure magic.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. The cheese should melt slightly from the heat of the eggs.
  6. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable. This step is crucial for easy rolling. While your Breakfast Burritos with Salsa is working its magic, grab your camera – this is Instagram gold!
  7. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the egg and chorizo mixture onto each tortilla. Top with your favorite salsa and any other desired toppings.
  8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, burrito style. Don’t be shy with the filling – we want a hefty Breakfast Burritos with Salsa!
  9. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the Breakfast Burritos with Salsa seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  10. For the Salsa, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until desired consistency is reached. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
