Ok guys. So you know how I'm always saying I'm not a breakfast person? As in, toast and tea and I'm good to go? (Granted I'm starving an hour later and need lunch but hey, what can you do?). Well, I may have fudged the truth a little bit ????.
Just a little though. I'm really not a big breakfast person. However, when it comes to breakfast burritos, I'm so there. In fact, I'm so there I'll eat them all day long. Oh it's dinner time? You meant breakfast burrito time. EPIC Chorizo Breakfast Burrito time to be exact.
Mmm chorizo. Gotta do it friends. I'm also usually not a fan of pork ???????? OMG I know right? Everyone is usually appalled with me when I let that slip. I only do bacon extra crispy, and never as anything but straight up bacon. Ham? No not really. Salami though, you got me. Spicy pork sausage?? Seasoned and spicy in a flour tortilla with eggs and potatoes, drenched in cheese and pico de gallo, topped with the almighty avocado? ???????? Doooooneeee.
By the by, if you eat a Chorizo Breakfast Burrito you won't be hungry for DAYS! It's the best. You're pretty much solid till dinner. They're restaurant style enormous. You know when they serve you your burrito on a platter?
Exactly.
So this weekend, if you're scrounging around looking for something to "break that fast"and the box of Biscuick just isn't going to cut it, I promise you the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito will do the trick. Jam-packed with everything you could ever need in a meal, you'll be eating these for dinner too!

Instructions
- Combine potatoes, cumin, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the potatoes, cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, and covering with a lid or foil between stirs.

Never add milk to your eggs. It only came around from food shortages during the war, it decreases the flavor and doesn’t make them fluffy but rubbery. Just beat them before scrambling to get fluffier scrambled eggs. Some people add a splash of water on the skillet when cooking to get steam for the rise.
