Breakfast Burrito Taco Bowls

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.
  2. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup onion and 1 teaspoon garlic; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add chiles, cumin and salt; cook about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture is bubbly. Stir in stock; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes. In blender, pour mixture; cover and blend on high speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Pour into small bowl; reserve until needed. Wipe skillet clean with paper towel.
  3. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add potatoes; spread in even layer, and press down to flatten with spatula. Cook 6 to 7 minutes without stirring until potatoes are golden on bottom. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon oil over tops of potatoes; turn potatoes over, spreading evenly and pressing down lightly. Cook 5 minutes without stirring. Stir in chorizo, 1/4 cup onion and 1 teaspoon garlic; keep stirring occasionally to break up clumps of meat. Cook 4 to 6 minutes longer or until meat is browned and potatoes are golden and crisp. Remove from heat; cover and keep warm.
  4. Return 10-inch nonstick skillet to stove over medium heat. Add eggs; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or just until eggs look firm, but moist. Remove from heat.
  5. Fill each bowl with 1/3 cup potato-chorizo mixture, 1/4 cup scrambled eggs and 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up each bowl in foil. Place wrapped bowls on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until warm. Serve with green chile sauce and hot sauce.

Expert Tips

  • Freeze ahead: After assembling breakfast burrito bowls, cool 20 minutes. Wrap each individual bowl in a paper towel, then roll in foil. Place in 1-gallon freezer bag, and freeze. When ready to eat, take out individual burrito; remove foil, leaving paper towel in place, and place on microwavable plate. Microwave on High 60 to 90 seconds or until cheese is melted.
  • Try burritos with sharp Cheddar for a different flavor twist!
