Authentic Mexican Breakfast Burrito de Huevo con Chorizo

I was born and raised in the land of the burrito, Chihuahua, Mexico. Burritos de huevo con chorizo are practically in my DNA! I remember skipping classes in college to have breakfast burritos with friends. And when I say breakfast burrito, I mean the classic authentic burritos!

But we didn’t stop there! We were not afraid to be eating burritos de carne picada, burritos de carne deshebrada, or even chile relleno burritos as early as 8 a.m. After all, there’s a famous Mexican adage: “Have breakfast like a king, eat lunch like a prince, and dine like a beggar.”

What I love about burritos is how easy they are to make and how transportable they are! You can work, drive, or even skydive while eating a burrito!

I’ll guide you through this recipe step by step with photos. You’ll find detailed ingredients and explanations in the recipe card below.

  • Prepare the Eggs: Beat the eggs with milk and salt. (Milk in eggs is a family tradition, it brings richness to eggs)
