Chorizo, Potato, and Queso Burritos

Prep Time8 minutes
Cook Time12 minutes
Course: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh mexican chorizo casings removed
  • queso Homemade recipe here
  • 6 burrito-sized tortillas
  • 1 green poblano pepper diced
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro diced
  • 6-8 small red potatoes
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Rinse potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Place on a microwave safe plate and microwave for about 5 minutes to get the cooking process going. Alternatively, you could place them in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat and let stand for about 5 minutes. Once the potatoes are partially cooked, cut them into small cubes.
  • In a large skillet, begin browning the chorizo and breaking it up. After cooking the chorizo a few minutes, add in the diced poblano pepper, and diced onion. Continue cooking until the chorizo is cooked through and the peppers and onions are tender. Remove the chorizo, peppers and onions from the pan.
  • Adjust the heat to medium-high and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add in the diced potatoes, salt and pepper. When the potatoes are lightly browned and completely cooked (about 8-10 minutes), add in the chorizo mixture. Stir in cilantro. Remove the chorizo/potato mixture from pan and wipe it out with a paper towel.
  • Adjust the heat on the skillet to medium-low and heat the tortillas, one at a time, for about 20 seconds per side. Using a skillet to heat the tortillas has always provided better results than microwaving.
  • Begin filling the burritos with about 3/4 cup of the chorizo/potato mixture. Top with homemade  warm queso, and then roll-up. If you'd like, cut each burrito in half on a diagonal. This recipe yields at least 6 burritos, possibly more depending on how full you fill each one.
