Best Mission Style Chorizo Burritos Recipes

CHORIZO BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, and potatoes in an even layer. Allow the potatoes to cook for 4 to 5 minutes undisturbed before using a spatula to flip. If they aren't crispy enough, cook for a few more minutes before turning. Continue cooking until the potatoes reach the desired consistency then remove from the pan. Set aside.
• Adjust the heat to low to medium, and add the chorizo to the pan. Break up the sausage as it cooks, and cook until no raw pieces remain, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a waiting paper towel lined plate. Wipe any excess grease from the pan.
• Keep the pan on low heat, and add 1 tablespoon of butter, onion, and jalapenos. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onions and jalapenos begin to soften. Pour in the eggs, salt, and pepper and use a wooden spoon or spatula to scramble with onions and jalapenos. Continue to scramble for 4 to 5 minutes or until the eggs are cooked through. Remove from the pan and wipe away any residual residue.
• Take one tortilla and place ¼ of the potatoes in the center. Next to the potatoes, place ¼ of the chorizo and ¼ of the eggs. Top the ingredients with 2 ounces of shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla and tuck in both ends, so they're secure inside the burrito.
• Optional Step: Melt half a tablespoon of butter in the hot pan, and add the burrito seam side down. Cook until browned then flip to the opposite side and cook until browned. Remove from the pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
• Serve hot. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.

CHORIZO-POTATO BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until cooked through and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Add the hash browns to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Beat together the eggs, a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper and a few dashes of hot sauce in a medium bowl until well blended. Return the chorizo to the pan and pour the eggs over the potatoes and chorizo and cook, stirring, until the eggs are fluffy and just set, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
• Working with one tortilla at a time, warm in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat until pliable. Top with one-quarter of the avocado and egg mixture, 1 tablespoon of the pico de gallo and 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Fold in the two sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with remaining tortillas and burrito fillings. Serve with the remaining pico de gallo on the side.

CHORIZO BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Generously coat a large frying pan with cooking spray. Cook and stir chorizo over medium high heat until well browned and crumbled. Add onion and chile pepper, and continue cooking until onion is tender.
• Beat eggs in a bowl, and add to chorizo mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until eggs are scrambled and no longer runny.
• Warm flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds. Spoon mixture into the middle of each tortilla and top with shredded Cheddar cheese. Roll up like a burrito, and enjoy!

MISSION-STYLE WILD RICE AND BEAN BURRITO

Steps:

• For the rice: Bring the water to a boil over high heat in a medium saucepan with a tight fitting lid. Stir in the wild rice and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Adjust the heat so the rice simmers gently, cover, and cook until tender but not mushy, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove rice from heat and let stand, covered 10 minutes. Drain remaining liquid and fluff with a fork.
• Meanwhile, mix all the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Set aside, while making the beans so the flavors come together and the sauce gets juicy.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and mash them until the mixture is almost smooth but still dotted with bits of bean, adding water as needed to loosen the mash up a bit. Set aside.
• When ready to serve the burritos, wrap all the tortillas in a slightly damp towel and microwave until piping hot and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes. (Alternatively, heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Cook a tortilla, turning once, until slightly charred and puffy, about 15 seconds per side. Wrap in foil and repeat with the remaining tortillas.) Keep covered while assembling each burrito.
• To form the burritos, spoon about a quarter of both the rice and beans and 3/4 cup of the salsa in the center of a tortilla. Top with some of the watercress, if using. Fold the closest edge of the tortilla over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll the tortilla away from you to form a package. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
• Serve burritos with extra salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and lime, if desired.

MISSION BURRITO

Steps:

• Cut steak in half crosswise. Place both pieces in a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out excess air from the bag and seal. Using a meat mallet, heavy frying pan or rolling pin, pound meat until about 1/4-inch thick. Make sure there are no holes in the bag, then pour the beer into it. Let the steak marinate for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove steak from bag, discarding marinade, and pat steak dry using a paper towel. Season steak on both sides with salt.
• Meanwhile, heat the beans: In a small pot over low heat, combine the lard, if using, and pinto beans. (If you're not using lard, add a few tablespoons of water to keep the beans from sticking to the pot.) Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and keep covered until ready to assemble burritos.
• Cook the steak: Heat 5 tablespoons lard or 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high. Working in two batches to avoid crowding the pan, cook each steak until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Once slightly cooled, chop steak into bite-size pieces.
• Assemble the burritos: Working with one tortilla at a time, sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese in a strip (running parallel to you) across the middle of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch edge on the left and right sides so the fillings don't spill out when you roll it. Top with 1/3 cup beans and 1/2 cup chopped steak. Top with 1/4 cup pico de gallo, 1 tablespoon salsa verde and 2 tablespoons sour cream. Using a spoon, smear a quarter of the mashed avocado on one side of the fillings.
• To wrap the burritos, fold the short left and right edges in towards the filling. Keeping the sides folded, fold the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling. Tightly roll away from you until the entire burrito is secure.
• If you'd like to crisp the outside of the burritos, heat 2 tablespoons of lard or oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Place the burrito in the skillet and cook each side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Tightly wrap a piece of aluminum foil around each burrito, and serve warm.

BURRITOS WITH MEXICAN CHORIZO AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine chorizo and onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, water, and garlic; stir well. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring every 10 minutes, until potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat and spoon into warm tortillas.

MISSION-STYLE CHORIZO BURRITOS

Steps:

• In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook chorizo, stirring, until warmed and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Place tortillas on a countertop. Divide guacamole between tortillas, spreading it in a line in center, leaving a 1" border on either side. Top with rice, beans, chorizo, cheese, and salsa. Fold side of tortilla closest to you over filling, then fold in sides and roll up tightly.
• Wipe out skillet used for cooking chorizo and place over medium heat. Add oil and heat until shimmering. Place burritos in skillet, seam-side down, and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and brown second side, about 3 minutes more. Serve hot with sour cream, hot sauce, cilantro, and limes.
