Ingredients

SALSA

  • 1 cup avocado, diced tips & tricks
  • 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice tips & tricks
  • 1/3 cup Roma tomato, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup red onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped tips & tricks
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt

BURRITOS

  • 1 lb. chorizo sausage, casings removed see Recipe
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 3/4 cup poblano peppers, diced
  • 3/4 cup red peppers, diced
  • 6 large free-run eggs, beaten
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • Few dashes hot sauce of your choice
  • 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack Jalapeño cheese, shredded
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tbsp. clarified butter tips & tricks

Directions

SALSA

  • Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and gently stir; set aside.

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.
