Ingredients

• 8 oz Chorizo sausage
• 6 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
• 4 Flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 2 tbsp Milk
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 1 to taste Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the casing from the chorizo sausage (if applicable) and crumble it into a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Cook the chorizo for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fully cooked and slightly crispy. Once cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.

Step 5

Cook the eggs gently, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until they are scrambled and just set but still soft. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds per side, or until pliable.

Step 7

To assemble, place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Add 2-3 tablespoons of cooked chorizo down the center, followed by a generous scoop of scrambled eggs. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on top.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

Step 9

Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 10

Optional: Garnish the wraps with freshly chopped cilantro and drizzle on hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
