Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. It takes so many forms that are, in my humble opinion, delicious. I especially love breakfast burritos. You can do so many great things with them! Last night, I was feeling breakfast-for-dinner and had some chorizo, ripe, avocado, and fresh tomato on hand. Breakfast burritos were a natural choice. The ones I made were fairly simple. But they were absolutely delicious!
To ramp up the flavor of the scrambled eggs, I made them in the pan I had just used to fry my chorizo. The sausage grease adds this delicious flavor that takes the burritos over the top! I also chopped up some avocado and tomato for the top. The acidity and creaminess were so fresh, and paired perfectly with the slightly spicy chorizo. YUM.
The best thing about breakfast burritos is the variation. You can add fresh salsa, homemade guac, sautéed onions and/or peppers, different kinds of cheese, or anything else that might suit your fancy. The possibilities are endless!
