Tacitos Aka Breakfast Burritos
- 2 cups small diced potatoes (1/2-inch)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon bacon grease
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons light cream
- 12 lb chorizo sausage, Mexican style (soft kind in a casing)
- 1 cup cheese (I use Monterey Jack) (optional)
- 4 large tortillas, burrito (9-inch) or 8 small tortillas, regular (7-inch)
- salt and pepper
- salsa (Mexican style)
- Put butter and grease in a 9" cast iron skillet and over medium heat, melt butter.
- When butter starts to bubble, add potatoes and stir to coat with oil/butter.
- Lightly season with salt and pepper, cover and reduce heat to low.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes start to soften and brown, about 10 minutes.
- Remove cover, increase heat to medium, and continue to cook while stirring occasionally until potatoes are browned.
- Remove from skillet to a small bowl, cover.
- Add chorizo to skillet after removing from casing over medium heat.
- Mash and stir, cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Add potatoes to the chorizo and stir well until mixed, still cooking over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
- While potato/chorizo is cooking, beat eggs until cream colored (I use a fork), add cream and mix to combine, adding salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the scrambled egg to the potato/chorizo mixture, stir until combined.
- Let cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally until eggs have set and you see steam coming up from eggs.
- In a large preheated skillet or griddle, cook tortillas, turning often, until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
- To assemble, add eggs/potato/chorizo mixture to cooked tortillas.
- Top with cheese and salsa.
- Roll up burrito style tucking in the ends.
- FYI In Mexico, you can get potato/egg, chorizo/egg, ham/egg, bacon/egg, sausage/egg, etc., etc.
- Use whatever combination that you like.
- If you don't use the Mexican chorizo, add some Mexican seasons if you wish, oregano, cilantro, etc.
- to retain ethnicity.
- Or, you can play with the seasoning mix to your liking.
