Breakfast Burritos

Ingredients for Breakfast Burritos

• 1 large boiling potato (230g), peeled and cut into 1/3-inch dice

• 4 (9-to 11-inch) flour tortillas

• 7 to 230g Mexican chorizo , casings removed

• 4 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon water

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 240ml coarsely grated Monterey Jack (about 110g )

• 1 avocado, sliced

• About 60ml fresh or bottled salsa

Preheat oven to 177°C with rack in middle. Cut 4 (12-by 8-inch) sheets of foil.

Cook potato in a small pot of salted boiling water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Wrap tortillas tightly in a large sheet of foil and warm in oven until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook chorizo in an 8-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring and breaking it up, until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Add potato and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until tender and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Whisk together eggs, water, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper in a medium bowl. Heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring to scramble, until just cooked through. Remove from heat.

Put a tortilla on 1 sheet of foil. Spoon one fourth of chorizo mixture, one fourth of eggs, one fourth of cheese, one fourth of avocado, and then salsa to taste in vertical rows across centre, leaving room to fold over bottom and sides. Fold bottom of tortilla over most of filling, then fold over sides, overlapping them. If desired, fold top down (otherwise, filling can be left exposed). Wrap foil around burrito, leaving top exposed. Make 3 more burritos in same manner and serve hot.
