Chorizo and Scrambled Egg Burritos

Chorizo and Scrambled Egg Burritos

    * 4 regular burrito wrappers
    * 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
    * 4 large eggs
    * 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided
    * 7 ounces fresh chorizo sausage, casing removed
    * 4 green onions, sliced
    * Sour cream
    * Salsa verte

Directions
  1. Whisk eggs and 2 tablespoons cilantro in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté chorizo sausage in heavy medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until brown and crispy. Add green onions and sauté 2 minutes. Drain excess fat from pan.
  2. Add egg mixture and stir until very softly set, about 1 minute. Remove egg mixture from heat. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  3. Divide egg mixture among tortillas and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro cheese, sour cream, and salsa to taste.
  4. Fold the way you would a soft taco or burrito and serve nice and warm. I often give mine a zap in the microwave for about 30 seconds to warm the insides and make the cheese nice and melty.

 Really delicious.
