Cooking Directions


Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil. Add potatoes and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes or until potatoes are golden. Stir in chili peppers.
Stack tortillas and wrap tightly in foil. Heat in preheated oven for 10 minutes to soften.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, Queso Quesadilla cheese, cilantro, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in skillet. Cook, without stirring, until mixture begins to set. Cook an additional 4-5 minutes, lifting and folding often, until egg are evenly cooked through but still moist. Remove from heat.
Working with one tortilla at a time (keep remaining tortillas warm in foil) spoon 1/6 of the egg mixture onto tortilla, just below center. Fold bottom edge of tortilla up and over filling. Fold in opposite sides. Roll tortilla from the bottom. If necessary, secure with wooden toothpicks. Repeat with remaining tortillas and eggs mixture.
Arrange burritos on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until heated through. Remove toothpicks. To serve, spoon some of the Chorizo Sauce over each tortilla and sprinkle with Cotija cheese.
