BURRITOS
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add chorizo and cook until browned, stirring often, about 7 to 8 minutes.
Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels; set aside.
In another skillet over medium heat, add butter and when it’s melted and sizzling, add peppers; sauté until almost soft, about 3 minutes.
Add beaten eggs and season with black pepper and hot sauce. Cook only 1 minute before adding cheese; stir until melted and eggs are cooked, about 2 minutes.
Spoon the egg mixture into the middle of each tortilla followed with chorizo and then salsa. Fold in the sides and roll over, keeping it tight.
Using a panini press over medium heat, brush the bottom with clarified butter. When hot, add the burritos, seam side down, and cover with the lid. Cook them until golden brown, about 2 ½ to 3 minutes.
Flip them over, place the lid back on top and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
