Cooking Steps
  1. Cook the Mexican chorizo in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 7-8 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
  2. In the same skillet, add the pre-cooked potatoes, diced poblano pepper, and chopped yellow onion. Sauté for 5-8 minutes until crispy and golden.
  3. In a separate pan, melt unsalted butter, crack in eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Scramble gently until just set, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Warm tortillas in a skillet, then assemble burritos with chorizo, potato mixture, scrambled eggs, and Monterey Jack cheese in the center.
  5. Roll the burritos tightly, ensuring the seam side is down.
  6. Optional: Toast burritos seam-side down in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
