A flavorful and spicy breakfast burrito featuring smoky chorizo, fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and fresh cilantro, cooked on a Blackstone griddle for a perfect crisp and even sear.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225g) spicy Mexican-style fresh chorizo, casings removed and crumbled
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas, fresh or thawed
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • ½ medium onion (about 75g), finely chopped
  • A small handful fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (avocado or olive oil)
  • 1 wedge lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C) and let it warm for 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the griddle, then crumble in the chorizo along with minced garlic, onion, and jalapeño. Stir often and break up the meat, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned and crispy on the edges.
  3. While the chorizo cooks, whisk the 6 eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until pale yellow and blended.
  4. Push the chorizo mixture to one side of the griddle. Pour eggs onto the clean side and let sit for 10 seconds, then gently scramble by pulling eggs from edges to center. Cook 2-3 minutes until just set but still moist.
  5. Remove chorizo and eggs from the griddle and place on a plate. Warm tortillas briefly on the griddle for 20 seconds each side to make pliable.
  6. Spoon equal amounts of chorizo and eggs onto each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese and fresh cilantro, then squeeze lime juice over the top.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll from the bottom up tightly to enclose the filling.
  8. For extra crispiness, place the rolled burrito seam side down back on the griddle and press gently for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Slice in half and serve immediately with optional sides like salsa, sour cream, or avocado slices.

Notes

Use gluten-free tortillas for a gluten-free version. Swap chorizo for spicy sausage or seasoned tofu for vegetarian. Adjust jalapeño heat by removing seeds or substituting chili flakes. Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Press burrito on griddle to seal edges and add crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the griddle for even cooking. Eggs continue cooking from residual heat, so remove while slightly runny to keep fluffy.
